Professional Sprinkler Repair & Irrigation in Austin, TX

Expert Water Management Led by Austin Veterans

In the Central Texas heat, a malfunctioning sprinkler system can lead to catastrophic landscape loss and foundation instability. At ABC, your system is serviced by a team with nearly 80 years of combined local irrigation experience.

• Executive Irrigation Oversight: Keith Wimbish, General Manager of Irrigation & Landscape Lighting, brings over 35 years of experience to the Austin area. A Licensed Irrigator (LI0005708) and Licensed Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BP0013824), Keith has been a pillar of ABC’s technical team since 2004.
• Master-Level Water Auditing: Supporting our conservation strategy is Hank Rutkowski, Landscape Sales Manager. Hank has been a Licensed Irrigator with the TCEQ since 1986. Trained in the renowned Cal Poly water auditing and management methods, Hank brings 40 years of expertise in precision water distribution. His focus on “Distribution Uniformity” ensures your existing system is optimized to meet today’s rigorous water standards.
• Division Leadership: Under the guidance of J Zambo, our irrigation team operates with a “System Restoration” philosophy. We don’t just patch leaks; we recalibrate your existing setup to serve as a sustainable life-support system for your property.

The ABC Advantage for Irrigation Repair:

• Specialized Repair Focus: We do not install new systems. This allows our team to focus 100% of our resources and training on diagnosing and repairing complex issues in existing systems—from faulty wiring and valve failures to hydraulic pressure imbalances.
• Foundation Protection: In Austin’s expansive clay soils, uneven moisture is the primary cause of foundation shifting. Our specialists use Cal Poly-informed auditing to ensure “perimeter watering” is properly calibrated, helping to stabilize the soil around your home.
• Smart Upgrades for Efficiency: We specialize in transforming older, inefficient systems into modern “Smart Systems.” By installing WiFi-enabled controllers that use real-time weather data, we can help you reduce water waste by up to 40%.

Comprehensive Irrigation Repair & Diagnostic Solutions

We offer a full suite of services to restore and optimize your existing water system:

• Licensed Sprinkler Repair: Expertly fixing broken heads, clogged nozzles, and lateral line leaks that cause “dead zones” or “swampy spots.”
• Advanced Troubleshooting: Locating difficult-to-find electrical issues, faulty solenoid valves, or underground leaks that lead to unexplained spikes in your water bill.
• Smart Controller Retrofitting: Replacing outdated timers with smart, weather-sensing technology that automatically adjusts for Austin rain events.
• Certified Backflow Testing: Providing required testing of your Backflow Prevention Assembly upon major repair or as a safety best practice to ensure your home’s drinking water remains protected from irrigation contaminants.

The ABC Difference: The “Water Efficiency” Audit

Every irrigation service begins with a Water Efficiency Audit. We don’t just check for leaks; we evaluate how effectively your current system is covering your landscape. Managed by our senior licensed team, this audit provides a technical roadmap for upgrading your existing components to achieve maximum efficiency and lower utility costs.
