El Cajon Sprinklers lists every sprinkler and irrigation service it arranges in El Cajon and East County on this page, each linked to a page of its own. They fall into four groups: repairs to the parts that fail most (heads, valves, lines and wiring), finding problems you cannot see (leaks, low pressure, a full inspection), water-saving upgrades that often carry a rebate (controllers, rotating nozzles, drip conversion), and new work (systems, drip, slopes and the backflow assembly that protects the water supply).
Where to start if you are not sure
If water is visibly escaping, start with the broken head or broken line pages. If a whole zone misbehaves, start with valve repair (will not shut off) or the zone-not-turning-on page (will not start). If nothing looks wrong but the bill went up, start with leak detection. If the system works but the yard looks patchy, start with the inspection page.
Prices on every page
Each service page publishes a typical range taken from published cost guides, and the cost guide puts all of them side by side. A range is not a quote: the written price comes after someone has seen the system.

- Irrigation system installationA new sprinkler or drip system laid out for the soil, the slope and the water supplier you actually have.
- Sprinkler valve repairA zone that runs all night, a valve box full of water, a solenoid that clicks and does nothing.
- Drip irrigation installationWater at the root, not on the wall: drip for beds, shrubs, trees, vegetables and anything on a slope.
- Spray to drip conversionKeep the valves and pipe you already own, swap the spray heads for drip, and stop watering the sidewalk.
- Slope irrigationBanks, terraces and backyard hills, watered slowly enough that the water stays on the slope.
- Drip irrigation repairDead plants on a working zone, a geyser from a blown fitting, emitters crusted white.
- Sprinkler head replacementSnapped by a mower, stuck down, spraying the wall or bubbling at the base: the most common repair there is.
- Irrigation line repairA wet spot that never dries, a sinkhole in the lawn, or water rising out of the ground with every zone off.
- Irrigation leak detectionThe bill went up, the meter keeps turning, and the yard looks exactly the same as it did last month.
- Zone not turning onThe controller says the zone is running. Nothing happens in the yard.
- Smart irrigation controllerA timer that adjusts to the weather, follows your supplier's rules and stops watering in the rain.
- Low sprinkler pressureHeads that barely rise, sprays that fall short, or the opposite: a fog of mist blowing into the street.
- Rotating nozzle retrofitThe same heads, a slower nozzle, and water that soaks into clay instead of running down the gutter.
- Backflow preventer repairA failed annual test, a relief valve dumping water, or an old assembly that has reached the end of its life.
- Backflow testingThe yearly test your water supplier mails a reminder about, done by a tester the supplier accepts.
- Irrigation inspectionEvery zone run and watched, every head checked, and a controller set for the soil and the season.
