Install, repair or test?
Licensed backflow testing, every year
Every irrigation line tied to a home's water supply carries a check valve assembly. Its one job is to keep water from the sprinkler pipes, which can pick up fertilizer, soil and lawn runoff, from flowing back into the water you drink when the pressure in the main drops.
Because a worn seal or a stuck check is invisible from the yard, water providers commonly require the assembly to be tested once a year, with the result reported to them. The rules and the deadline come from your provider, so check the notice they send.
We offer licensed backflow testing for Kernersville homes and businesses, and we can do it on the same visit as a spring start-up or a repair.

| Drip lines | Best for: Beds, shrubs and foundations | Notes: Water right at the roots, with very little waste |

- Spring start-up and fall winterizingLines blown out before a hard freeze can crack them, and every zone checked when the water comes back on.
- Licensed backflow testingThe yearly test on the check valve assembly that protects your drinking water.
When to water, drip for beds and winterizing
When should I water my lawn in the Triad?
Early in the morning, before the heat. Deep, infrequent watering builds stronger fescue roots than a light sprinkle every evening, and a controller handles the timing for you. New lawns stay green longer with sprinkler system installation timed with sod installation.
Do you repair systems you did not install?
Yes. We repair systems we did not install, including older ones. Our sprinkler repair page covers how we find the cause.
Can a system water my flower beds too?
Yes, with drip zones that deliver water slowly at the roots. That is the best way to water beds and foundation plantings without wetting the leaves or the mulch.
Do you winterize sprinkler systems?
Yes. Before the first hard freeze we blow the water out of the lines, and in spring we turn the system back on and check every zone.
