Drip Irrigation Repair
Keep your beds, trees, and gardens getting the water they need.
Drip systems are highly efficient — but also highly sensitive to clogs, pressure issues, and physical damage. A single clogged emitter can starve a tree or shrub while you assume it's being watered. Irrivive inspects and services drip zones with attention to emitter output, pressure regulation, and tubing integrity, so every plant on the zone actually gets what the controller is delivering.
What's Included
- Emitter inspection, cleaning, and replacement
- Poly tubing repair and re-staking
- Filter screen cleaning and flushing
- Pressure regulator testing and replacement
- End cap and barbed fitting replacement
- Zone conversion from spray to drip where appropriate
Common Signs You Need This
- Plants in a drip zone showing signs of drought stress
- Emitters that are visibly cracked, clogged, or missing
- Water pooling at one spot while other areas stay dry
- Tubing that has been pulled out, chewed by animals, or kinked
- Filter that hasn't been cleaned in years
- Drip zone running but plants not receiving adequate water
Why It Matters
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to roots, but only when it's working properly. Regular maintenance keeps your beds and gardens thriving.
Our Process
Trent inspects every emitter, flushes and cleans the filter, tests the pressure regulator, and repairs cracked tubing or fittings. Dead emitters are replaced, and any zone that should be on drip (beds, trees) can be converted from spray to drip where it makes sense.
What Affects the Price
Every job is quoted upfront before any work begins. These are the factors that shape the cost — never a surprise invoice.
- Number of emitters or tubing runs to repair
- Whether the filter or pressure regulator needs replacement
- Whether a zone is being converted from spray to drip
- Length of tubing and number of fittings needed
When to Schedule
Drip systems are serviced at spring start-up and checked mid-summer when heat stress reveals clogged emitters. Fall is a good time to flush filters before winter.
Drip Irrigation Repair — FAQ
Why are plants in my drip zone looking dry?+
A clogged or cracked emitter is the most common cause — the controller runs, but the plant gets little or no water. Trent checks emitter output on every plant and replaces what's failed.
Should I convert my shrub beds from spray to drip?+
Often yes. Drip delivers water straight to roots, reduces evaporation and overspray, and is usually compliant with drought restrictions that limit spray irrigation.
How often does a drip system need maintenance?+
Filters should be flushed and emitters checked at least once a year — usually at spring start-up. A quick annual check prevents most clogs before they stress your plants.
