Fix it right the first time — backed by 67 years of irrigation experience.
When a sprinkler system breaks down, your lawn pays the price. Dry spots, flooded beds, and climbing water bills are all signs something needs attention. At Grapids Irrigation, we've been diagnosing and repairing irrigation systems across West Michigan since 1957. Three generations of the Katerberg family have seen every type of failure — and we know how to fix each one fast.
Common Sprinkler System Problems We Repair
Broken or Stuck Sprinkler Heads
Mower damage, foot traffic, and freeze-thaw cycles crack heads or knock them out of alignment. We replace and adjust heads to restore even coverage across every zone.
Underground Pipe & Line Leaks
Soggy patches in the yard or a sudden spike in your water bill usually point to a broken pipe underground. We locate the leak, excavate only what's needed, and repair or replace the damaged section.
Valve Failures
Valves that won't open leave zones dry. Valves that won't close flood the lawn. We rebuild or replace faulty valves — diaphragms, solenoids, and wiring included.
Controller & Wiring Issues
Older timers lose programming, wires corrode, and rain sensors stop communicating. We troubleshoot the electrical side of your system and upgrade controllers when a repair isn't worth the cost.
Low Pressure & Poor Coverage
If your heads barely pop up or spray weakly, the problem could be a pressure regulator, a partially closed backflow valve, or too many heads on one zone. We test the system pressure and make the adjustments needed to restore full coverage.
Winterization Damage
Improperly winterized systems crack pipes, fittings, and backflow preventers over a Michigan winter. We see the damage every spring and handle these repairs before your first start-up.
