Irrigation System Services

An irrigation system inspection checks the sprinkler heads, zones, controller, valves, and backflow preventer for leaks, damage, or poor coverage. This service is most often requested before buying a home with a sprinkler system or when a water bill spikes without an obvious cause. Inspection Gator adds this as a focused add-on to your home, commercial, or new construction inspection so nothing underground gets overlooked.

What's Included in an Irrigation System Inspection

Every Inspection Gator irrigation inspection covers:

  • Visual check of all accessible sprinkler heads for damage, misalignment, or clogging
  • Zone-by-zone testing to confirm each zone runs and shuts off correctly
  • Controller and wiring inspection, including run schedule and rain sensor (if present and accessible)
  • Backflow preventer check
  • Water meter check to help rule out hidden leaks
  • Notes on coverage gaps, overspray onto the foundation, or signs of animal damage to lines

Sprinkler Head & Zone Testing

Sprinkler heads take a beating from mowing, foot traffic, and simple wear. We test each zone independently and flag heads that are cracked, misaligned, or leaking at the base.

Controller & Wiring Check

Irrigation controllers carry complex wiring and scheduling logic. We check the controller’s condition and run schedule, and inspect the rain sensor where it’s present and accessible.

Backflow Preventer & Water Meter Check

Since most of the system is buried, the water meter is one of the few reliable ways to catch a hidden leak. We check it alongside the backflow preventer to confirm the system isn’t silently wasting water or creating a cross-connection risk.

Property & System Types We Inspect

Whether you are navigating a residential sale, finalizing a new build, or managing commercial grounds, a proactive irrigation inspection protects your property from costly leaks and hidden system defects. We tailor our zone-by-zone evaluations to deliver clear insights and safeguard your investment across every property type.

Homes on the Market

Irrigation leaks and failures can mean high water bills and costly landscape or foundation damage. If you’re buying or selling a home with a sprinkler system, an inspection before closing gives both sides a clear picture.

New Construction

Newly installed systems can still have wiring, valve, or coverage issues from installation. We check new systems as part of a phase or final walkthrough inspection.

Commercial Properties with Landscaping

Commercial properties often run larger, more complex zone counts. We scale the same zone-by-zone approach to commercial irrigation systems.

Add-On Services Available

Inspection Gator offers a full suite of specialty inspections:

FAQS

How long does an irrigation inspection take?

Most irrigation inspections take 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of zones and system complexity.

Systems that have been winterized (water shut off and lines blown out) can’t be fully zone-tested until they’re turned back on for the season. We’ll do a visual inspection of accessible components and note anything that needs to be re-checked once the system is active again.

We’ll document exactly which zone, head, or connection is affected in your report so you can get a repair quote from a licensed irrigation contractor before or after closing.

Yes, if the property has a sprinkler system. Since most of the system is underground, a standard home inspection alone won’t test each zone, the controller, or the backflow preventer the way a dedicated irrigation inspection does.
