Observed symptoms
Low pressure, a zone that will not run, wet ground, broken heads, overspray or intermittent operation provide the first diagnostic clues.

Sprinkler & Irrigation Repair across Vancouver Island
Sprinkler repair, irrigation troubleshooting and seasonal maintenance across Vancouver Island for leaks, broken heads, valves, controllers, wiring and poor coverage.
The scope
Diagnosed before parts are replaced.
RiverCity provides irrigation repair and seasonal sprinkler maintenance across Vancouver Island. Irrigation problems are not always where the symptoms appear: a dry area may result from pressure, nozzles, head alignment, valve performance, wiring or programming. We operate the system, isolate the cause and complete practical repairs and adjustments.
- Spring start-up and system checks
- Leak and broken-head repair
- Valve, solenoid and wiring troubleshooting
- Controller programming and rain-sensor checks
- Coverage, pressure and nozzle adjustments
- Seasonal shut-down and maintenance recommendations
Planning the work
What we check before recommending a repair.
Repair and maintenance start by operating the system, confirming the symptoms and isolating the affected component or zone. Coverage problems, leaks, wiring faults, seasonal start-ups and controller issues require different tests and service allowances.
Hydraulic checks
Flow, pressure, valve operation and visible leakage help determine whether the problem is local or affects the wider system.
Electrical testing
Controller outputs, field wiring and solenoids are checked when valves fail to open or operate inconsistently.
Repair practicality
Age, component availability, access and the condition of surrounding pipe determine whether a focused repair or wider upgrade is more sensible.
The RiverCity difference
Find the cause before changing parts.
Testing each affected zone helps identify the actual cause instead of repeatedly replacing visible parts while the underlying coverage, pressure or control problem remains.
RiverCity’s irrigation work is supported by IIABC Certified Irrigation Technician Level 2 (CIT-2) capability for professional installation, troubleshooting, repairs and seasonal maintenance.
Our process
Clear from first walk to final review.
Run and diagnose
We operate the affected zones and review the controller, valves, heads, pressure, wiring and visible symptoms.
Repair and maintain
Approved failed components are repaired or replaced, and practical programming and coverage adjustments are completed.
Retest the system
The serviced zones are operated again, adjusted and reviewed with the property owner.

Common questions
Good to know.
Can you repair a system installed by another contractor?
Yes. We can assess existing residential irrigation systems and recommend practical repairs based on the condition and accessibility of the components.
Do you provide seasonal irrigation maintenance?
Yes. RiverCity provides spring start-ups, zone testing, controller programming, head and nozzle adjustments, leak checks and seasonal shut-down service for suitable systems.
What causes one irrigation zone to stop working?
Common causes include controller programming, wiring, solenoids, valves, flow restrictions or damaged piping. Testing is needed to isolate the cause.
Can uneven coverage be improved?
Often it can be improved by correcting head alignment, spacing, nozzles, pressure or zone layout, although some systems may require a larger upgrade.
What information should I include in a service request?
Include the property location, the controller brand if known, how many zones are affected, what the system is doing and any visible leaks or damaged heads.
