Irrigation FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you service both residential and commercial irrigation systems?
Yes. West Irrigation Services works with homeowners, businesses, HOAs, and commercial properties to design, install, and maintain reliable irrigation systems tailored to each property’s needs.
2. How often should my irrigation system be inspected or serviced?
We recommend having your irrigation system inspected at least once a year, typically in the spring, to ensure proper operation, prevent leaks, and optimize water efficiency. Additional mid-season checkups can help catch issues early.
3. Can you help reduce water usage and improve efficiency?
Absolutely. We specialize in water-saving solutions such as smart controllers, zone optimization, drip irrigation, and system upgrades that help reduce water waste while keeping your landscape healthy.
4. When should I schedule irrigation start-up and winterization services?
Irrigation start-ups are best scheduled in early spring once freezing temperatures have passed. Winterization should be completed in the fall before the first hard freeze to protect your system from costly damage.
