Fixing Water Flow Above and Below Ground

Irrigation and Drainage Services in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

You notice brown patches where sprinklers miss, puddles that sit for hours after a storm, or sections of your yard in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea that stay soggy even in dry weeks. Water either does not reach the plants that need it or does not leave the areas where it collects. Aquarian Landscaping Inc repairs, installs, and adjusts systems that control how water moves across your property.

We repair broken sprinkler heads, cracked pipes, and malfunctioning valves that waste water or leave zones dry. New irrigation installations include layout planning, trenching, pipe fitting, and controller programming to match plant zones and sun exposure. Inspections identify leaks, pressure imbalances, and coverage gaps before they cause visible damage. Drainage improvements redirect runoff with grading, French drains, or catch basins that move water away from foundations and low spots.

If your system in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is not performing the way it should, contact us to assess what needs adjustment or replacement.

What Changes When the Work Is Finished

We begin irrigation work by mapping existing zones, testing pressure at each valve, and running the system to see where coverage fails. In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, shallow water tables and sandy soil mean that overwatering leads to runoff and underwatering leads to dry pockets that never recover. We adjust nozzle types, riser heights, and run times to match the layout.

After repairs or installation, you will see uniform spray patterns, plants that receive consistent moisture, and no standing water where sprinklers overlap. Drainage work eliminates puddling, and graded channels carry water to swales or street drains without eroding soil.

We trench lines below root zones, connect lateral pipes to main supply lines, and seal fittings with primer and glue rated for pressure systems. Controllers are programmed with separate schedules for sun and shade zones. The service does not include backflow testing, permit filing, or well pump installation unless arranged separately. Once the system runs correctly, you adjust it seasonally rather than repairing it constantly.

Common Concerns Before Scheduling the Work

Homeowners usually ask about system lifespan, whether repairs prevent future problems, and how long installation takes.

How long does a repaired sprinkler system last?
A repaired system lasts as long as the remaining components hold up. If valves and pipes are fifteen years old, you may see additional failures within two to three years even after fixing heads and leaks.
What causes puddles after it rains?
Puddles form when soil compacts, grade slopes toward the house, or hardscape blocks natural drainage paths. We regrade the area or install drains that intercept water before it pools.
Why do some zones run longer than others?
Zones with more sun, less shade, or sandy soil require longer run times to deliver the same moisture. We program controllers with staggered durations so each zone gets what it needs without flooding adjacent areas.
How do you find leaks in an irrigation system?
We pressurize the system, walk each zone while it runs, and look for geysers, wet spots, or drops in pressure at the controller. Most leaks appear at fittings, valve boxes, or where roots have crushed pipes.
What happens if I add plants after irrigation is installed?
You can extend existing zones or add emitters to supply new plantings. We tap into nearby lateral lines, run flexible tubing to the new location, and adjust the controller to account for the added load.

Aquarian Landscaping Inc carries replacement parts for most residential systems and schedules work when ground conditions allow digging and trenching. If your irrigation is failing or your yard holds water where it should not, get in touch to review options.
