DR. SPRINKLER REPAIR · COLORADO SPRINGS
Sprinkler Repair in Colorado Springs, CO
A broken head, soggy patch or sprinkler zone that will not run can leave you wondering where to start. Dr. Sprinkler Repair helps Colorado Springs homeowners with sprinkler repairs and watering problems. Tell us what you are seeing so we can discuss the next step for your property.
What is happening with your sprinklers?
Broken heads or uneven spray
A damaged, tilted or blocked head can leave part of the lawn dry while watering the sidewalk. Describe where the spray falls short and whether one head or the whole zone is affected.
Leaks or a zone that keeps watering
Tell us whether water appears during a cycle or continues after the controller is off. A valve that does not close properly is one possible cause of continuing flow; the system needs checking before a repair is chosen.
Dry patches or weak coverage
More run time may overwater healthy areas without fixing the dry patch. Comparing water delivery across the zone helps separate coverage problems from other lawn issues.
Watering in Colorado Springs
If Colorado Springs Utilities supplies your property, use its Water Wise Rules when setting the controller. The guidance checked on October 13, 2026 allows watering up to three days per week, with the days chosen by the customer. From May 1 through October 15, watering is limited to before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. The rules also prohibit runoff onto hard surfaces and require sprinkler leaks to be repaired within 10 days.
These are limits, not a recommendation to water on every permitted day. Check the current rules and adjust watering to your landscape and weather. If another provider supplies your address, follow that provider’s guidance.

Questions before requesting a repair
Can a broken sprinkler head cause a dry patch?
Yes. A damaged or obstructed head can change coverage. A dry patch can also have other causes, so the watering pattern should be checked before increasing the schedule.
Why do my sprinklers keep running after I turn off the timer?
A valve may not be closing, or the controls may need checking. Note which zone continues to run. If you know the irrigation shutoff and can safely use it, stop the irrigation supply and call for help.
Should every zone run for the same amount of time?
Not necessarily. Different sprinkler types apply water at different rates, and the planted areas may have different needs. Run times should reflect the system and fit your provider’s current rules.
Do you offer winterization?
The business lists sprinkler winterization and blowout service. Ask about availability and what your system needs before freezing conditions arrive.
How much will the repair cost?
The cause, required parts and access to the problem affect the work involved. Ask about service-call fees, the estimate process and repair options when requesting service.
What should I tell you when I call?
Share your property location, the affected zone, what the water is doing and any controller message. Mention whether the problem is constant or happens only during a cycle.
