Lubbockscape provides sprinkler repair in Lubbock, TX 79424 for broken heads, leaking valves, zones that won't turn on or off, controller problems and freeze-damaged backflow devices. Every irrigation repair is performed under a TCEQ Licensed Irrigator, and we finish each visit by programming your controller for your City of Lubbock watering days.
A lawn that gets watered on schedule but still shows brown or dry strips.
Water bubbling up or pooling in the same spot, or a soggy area or sinkhole in the yard.
Higher water bills without a change in schedule, or water spraying onto the street or sidewalk.
A zone that runs when the controller is off, heads that don't pop up or rotate, or water spraying from the backflow device near the house.
The City limits automatic irrigation to two assigned days per week, with no irrigation on Sundays. If one zone is broken, that part of the yard may go a full week without water in July.
A rain sensor that shuts off at 1/4 inch of rain, a freeze sensor that keeps the system off at 35°F, no overspray onto streets, and spray heads at least 4 inches from curbs and buildings. Many older Lubbock systems don't meet these rules — we point out issues and fix them with your approval.
Lubbock's average first freeze arrives around October 31. Above-ground backflow preventers and exposed pipes crack if not drained or insulated — spring startup is when many homeowners find the damage.
Clay soils swell and shrink with wet and dry cycles, and tree roots push into lines. Both cause cracked fittings and broken laterals that leak underground.
We turn on each zone and walk the yard.
Check heads, nozzles, pressure, valves, wiring, controller and sensors. You approve the price before repair.
Replace parts with matched components, align heads, match nozzles and fix overspray.
Set the controller to your assigned days with cycle-and-soak run times, and leave a summary of repairs.
Regular irrigation maintenance catches problems before they kill grass or run up your water bill.

Water on your assigned days only: addresses ending in 0, 3, 4 or 9 water Monday and Thursday; 1, 5 or 6 water Tuesday and Friday; 2, 7 or 8 water Wednesday and Saturday. Check mylubbock.us for current rules.
Water early or late: the City recommends irrigating between midnight and 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. and midnight.
Use cycle-and-soak: run each zone for 3 to 4 minutes, pause, and repeat so water soaks into clay instead of running off. Aim for about 1.5 inches per week during the growing season.
Hand water dry spots any day of the week.
Yes. Under Texas law, a person may not sell, design, install, maintain, alter, repair or service an irrigation system without a license from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Irrigation Technicians may do repairs under the supervision of a Licensed Irrigator. Ask any sprinkler repair company in Lubbock for its license number before work starts.
In 79424, 79423 and Wolfforth, many systems went in with new construction and now need head adjustments, coverage fixes and rain/freeze sensors brought up to City code. In older ZIPs such as 79410, 79411, 79412 and 79413, repairs lean toward worn valves, cracked lines and outdated controllers.
