Irrigation Installation, Maintenance & Repair

Common Irrigation System Problems

Even the best systems can hit a snag—especially in Albuquerque’s shifting soils and hard water conditions.

* Leaking Sprinkler Heads or Pipes: Cause soggy patches and wasted water.
* Clogged Nozzles: Dirt, debris, and minerals block water flow.
* Low Water Pressure: Often tied to clogged filters, broken pipes, or faulty valves.

 * Faulty Irrigation Valves: Lead to uneven watering or dry zones.
* Sprinkler Heads Not Popping Up: Dirt, mechanical failure, or root obstruction can be the culprit.
* Controller Malfunctions: Wiring issues, outdated programming, or weather sensor errors.

(10/1/25) It’s also time to prepare your Irrigation System for Fall…

As the cooler fall months approach, it’s time to rethink irrigation schedules to match the changing needs of your landscape. Fall brings lower temperatures and reduced sunlight- all factors that mean your plants need less water. While the days may still be warm, the shorter days and cooler nights in the months of October and November means less evaporation, which means less irrigation is needed.

Making the right fall irrigation adjustments helps prevent overwatering, protects plants from damage, and saves on water bills. Why adjust your irrigation? Plants naturally reduce their water uptake as they prepare for dormancy. Holding onto a summer watering schedule risks overwatering, leading to root rot, fungal diseases and wasted resources.

In addition to reducing watering frequency and duration, your sprinkler system might need a recalibration. As the sun’s path moves southward in winter and northward in summer, the shadows cast by trees, fences and structures shift. So areas that were sunny in summer might be shaded in winter. Adjusting spray patterns or runtimes keeps shaded areas from becoming soggy while ensuring sunny patches still get adequate coverage. In short, as sunlight and temperature change, water needs vary, shadows shift, evaporation rates drop, and sprinkler coverage can drift slightly. Recalibrating ensures each zone waters efficiently and evenly throughout the year. Also, sprinkler heads should be inspected to ensure water is directed only to plant areas and not onto sidewalks, driveways or other hardscapes.

Talk About Town

My job was not exactly landscaping; it was the removal of thousands of tumbleweeds that had blown into our property. We tried mashing them into the garbage bin each week for months and it never made a dent. The guys from WaterQuest came out and made short order of thoroughly removing every tumbleweed, which was a huge job on a very hot day.   (Brad P)
