Cape Coral Sprinkler Repair

Local Help For Stubborn Sprinkler Problems

If you’re dealing with flooded spots in your yard, dry patches of grass, or a sprinkler system that won’t turn on at all, you’re not alone. In Cape Coral, irrigation systems take a beating from sun, sandy soil, and seasonal weather changes. When something stops working, it can quickly affect your lawn, plants, and water bill.

At Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing, we’ve helped homeowners and businesses throughout Cape Coral and Southwest Florida keep their sprinkler systems running reliably since 2002. As a local, family-owned irrigation and plumbing company, we focus on fast response times, clear communication, and repairs that actually solve the problem — not temporary fixes.

Fast, Reliable Sprinkler Repair From a Local Family Business

When your sprinkler system stops doing its job, stress builds quickly. Our team understands how disruptive irrigation issues can be, especially when water damage or rising utility bills are involved. That’s why we approach every sprinkler repair with a clear plan and honest recommendations.

We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we offer free estimates before any work begins. Our technicians arrive in clearly marked vehicles, respect your property, and leave the work area clean once repairs are complete. When appropriate, we also offer same-day emergency sprinkler repair to prevent further damage.

How Our Team Fixes Your Sprinkler System

Many sprinkler issues look simple on the surface but are caused by underlying problems. During a service visit, our technician starts by listening to what you’ve noticed — whether that’s low pressure, uneven coverage, or a system that won’t shut off.

We then inspect key components, including:

• Controller settings and wiring
• Valves and pressure levels
• Sprinkler heads and nozzles
• Underground lines and visible connections

Once the issue is identified, we explain what’s happening in clear terms, review your repair options, and provide an upfront estimate before moving forward.

What Happens During a Service Visit

When our technician arrives, the first step is to listen to what you have been seeing. Maybe a certain zone never comes on, a head in the front yard sprays the sidewalk, or you noticed standing water near a flower bed. We walk the property with you when needed, then test the system zone by zone. This often includes checking the controller settings, inspecting wiring, testing valves, and looking closely at sprinkler heads and visible lines.

During this inspection, we pay attention to pressure, coverage, and signs of leaks. In our part of Florida, sandy soils and shifting ground can cause pipes to settle or crack, and that can lead to hidden leaks. As we identify issues, we explain what we find in plain language. Before any repair work begins, we review the options, answer your questions, and provide a free estimate so you understand the cost and scope.

Brands & Equipment We Work With

We work on every make and model of irrigation and sprinkler equipment, from older systems to newer, more efficient designs. As an authorized Hunter Industries dealer, our team has access to quality components and training on advanced controllers and water-saving products. That helps us match your repair or upgrade to the needs of your property instead of forcing a one size fits all solution.

Common Sprinkler Problems We Handle Every Day

After more than two decades working on irrigation systems here, we have seen almost every kind of sprinkler issue. Some problems are dramatic, like a broken head that shoots water into the air. Others are subtle, such as a small underground leak that only shows up as a soft spot in the lawn or a growing water bill. Recognizing what you are seeing can make it easier to know when to call.

Issues You Might Notice In Your Yard

Some of the most common problems we address include broken or clogged sprinkler heads, zones that do not come on at all, and uneven coverage that leaves part of your yard soaked while other areas stay dry. In Cape Coral and the surrounding communities, we also see plenty of systems with low water pressure, stuck valves, or controllers that have lost their programming after a power issue.

Local conditions play a big role too. Sandy soils can shift around pipes and fittings, which may lead to cracked lines or heads that sink below grade. Mowers and vehicles can damage sprinkler heads near driveways or along the edge of a lawn. The hot sun can quickly stress grass and plants if one zone is not working, while heavy summer rains can reveal drainage and overspray problems.

The good news is that many of these issues can be resolved with targeted sprinkler repair rather than a full system replacement. Our technicians work to find the root cause, not just the symptom, so you get a solution that helps your system run closer to how it was designed. If you recognize any of these problems in your own yard, a repair visit can often prevent more serious damage to your landscaping.

Why Homeowners Here Count On Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing

Choosing the right irrigation company matters. As a long-standing local business, we treat every property as if it were our own.

What sets us apart:

• Over 20 years serving Cape Coral and Southwest Florida
• Family-owned and locally operated
• Licensed, bonded, and insured technicians
• Strong customer reviews and BBB A+ rating
• Access to quality parts and equipment as an authorized Hunter Industries dealer

In addition to sprinkler repair, we can also address related components such as well pumps, irrigation controls, landscape lighting, mosquito misting systems, and water purification equipment — helping ensure everything works together properly.

Protect Your Lawn With Proactive Irrigation Maintenance

Many sprinkler problems develop slowly and go unnoticed until damage becomes visible. Regular maintenance can help prevent leaks, uneven watering, and system failures before they turn into costly repairs.

We offer tiered maintenance programs — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — designed to fit different property sizes and needs. These plans typically include seasonal inspections, controller adjustments, head and nozzle checks, and priority scheduling. Preventive care keeps your system efficient, protects your landscaping, and helps extend the life of your irrigation equipment.

What To Do When Your Sprinklers Stop Working

If you notice water spraying where it shouldn’t, pooling near valves, or a zone running continuously, it’s best to act quickly. Turning off your sprinkler controller or main water supply can help minimize damage until a technician arrives.

Before calling, it helps to note:

• Which zones are affected
• Any visible leaks or broken heads
• Whether the issue started suddenly or gradually

Sharing this information allows our team to diagnose the problem faster and get your system back on track sooner.

Simple Steps Before You Call

If it is safe to do so, the first step is often to turn off your sprinkler controller. This stops scheduled watering and can prevent further flooding or water waste. In more serious cases, such as a line break that continues to flow, you may also need to shut off the water supply to the irrigation system if you know where that is located.

Before you call, it can help to walk your yard and note what you see. For example, you might notice that one zone is completely dry while others look normal, or that water keeps bubbling up from a specific area even when the system is off. If you know the brand of your controller or remember when your system was installed, sharing that information with our team can also speed up the process.

When To Treat A Problem As Urgent

Some issues are more urgent than others. A single clogged head that leaves a small dry spot may be able to wait a bit, while a major leak that washes away soil or threatens nearby hardscape often needs faster attention. When you call Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing, we ask a few quick questions about what you are seeing. That helps us decide whether same-day emergency repair is appropriate or if a scheduled visit in the next available opening will meet your needs.

During your call, we explain what you can expect when our technician arrives and confirm that your estimate will be provided before any work begins. Our goal is to make the process straightforward, so you feel comfortable from the first conversation through the final walkthrough after the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can your team come out to fix my sprinklers?

We know that irrigation problems can feel urgent, especially when you see standing water or browning grass. Our scheduling team works to offer prompt appointments, and in many cases we can arrange same-day emergency repairs when the situation involves significant leaks or flooding. The exact timing depends on current demand, your location, and the nature of the problem.

When you call, we ask a few questions about what you are seeing so we can decide how quickly someone should come out. Properties in and around Cape Coral are typically grouped by area to help us route technicians efficiently. Our goal is to give you a clear expectation for arrival and keep you informed if anything changes in the schedule.

Can you repair any brand of sprinkler system?

Yes, our technicians work on all common brands and most older systems as well. Over the past 20 years we have serviced a wide range of controllers, valves, heads, and pumps across Southwest Florida, so we are familiar with many different layouts and components. We bring a variety of parts and tools to each visit so that we can handle most repairs on the first trip whenever possible.

Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing is also an authorized Hunter Industries dealer. This relationship gives us access to current training and high quality Hunter products, which can be helpful if you are interested in upgrading to more efficient heads or controllers over time. Whether your system is Hunter or another brand, our technicians focus on diagnosing the problem accurately and recommending practical repair options.

How much does sprinkler repair usually cost?

The cost of repairing a sprinkler system can vary widely, because it depends on what we find during the inspection. A simple fix, such as replacing a broken head or adjusting a few nozzles, usually costs less than repairing a main line break or resolving complex wiring issues. Property size, ease of access, and the age of your equipment can also influence the final price.

To keep things clear, we always provide a free estimate before starting any work. During your appointment, our technician explains what is going on, outlines the repair options, and answers your questions about pricing. We do not move forward until you approve the plan, so there are no surprise charges after the job is complete.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes, every technician who works on your property is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. This is important whenever someone works with water, electrical components, or equipment around your home. It protects you as the property owner and reflects our commitment to professional standards.

In addition, Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. That independent rating, combined with our long history in this area, gives many homeowners confidence that they are hiring a reputable company that takes responsibility for its work.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for my sprinkler system?

We do offer maintenance programs for customers who want to keep their systems in better shape year round. Our Silver, Gold, and Platinum plans give you different levels of regular service, so you can choose the option that matches your property and budget. These plans typically include scheduled inspections and adjustments, which can help catch issues early.

Plan members also enjoy benefits such as priority scheduling and discounts on parts, which can be especially helpful during busy seasons here in Cape Coral. When our technician visits for a repair, you can ask about the differences between the plans, and we will walk you through what each level includes in simple terms so you can decide whether ongoing maintenance is right for you.

What areas do you serve around Cape Coral?

Our family business serves a wide area of Southwest Florida. In addition to properties in Cape Coral, we regularly work in Lehigh Acres, Ft. Myers, Naples, and many surrounding neighborhoods. Because we have crews in the region every day, we can often coordinate schedules to reach your property efficiently.

If you are not sure whether your address is within our service area, a quick call to our office is the easiest way to check. Our team can confirm coverage, discuss available appointment times, and answer any other questions you have about setting up a sprinkler system visit.

Can you help if my well pump or landscape lighting is also acting up?

Yes, one of the advantages of working with Coastal Irrigation & Plumbing is that we handle more than just sprinklers. In addition to irrigation repair, our team works on well pumps, landscape lighting, mosquito misting systems, and water purification equipment. Many properties in this area rely on wells and have outdoor lighting or comfort systems that are connected in practical ways.

If you mention during scheduling that you are seeing issues with a well pump or other outdoor systems, we can plan the visit accordingly. In some cases, addressing related components during the same appointment can save time and help everything work together more smoothly.
