Complete Irrigation Service

One sprinkler company for repairs, seasonal service, upgrades, pumps, backflows, and installations.

Hunter HydroTech works on irrigation systems of many ages, layouts, and water sources. We service older sprinkler systems in established neighborhoods, newer subdivision systems, waterfront and lake-fed irrigation, city-water systems with backflow assemblies, large residential properties, and commercial landscapes throughout Southeast Michigan.

Whether you need sprinkler repair, a spring sprinkler start-up or turn-on, sprinkler winterization or blow-out service, irrigation leak detection, sprinkler valve or manifold repair, backflow replacement, WiFi sprinkler timer installation, irrigation pump system repair, or a new sprinkler system, this services hub connects you to the right service page, local service area, and technical guide.

Our technicians look beyond the first visible symptom. Depending on the service call, we may check zone operation, sprinkler coverage, rotors and spray heads, valve boxes, manifolds, wiring, controller settings, water pressure, backflow components, pump operation, suction or intake problems, and the condition of the mainline and lateral piping. The goal is to identify the real problem and explain the repair options clearly.

Problems We Diagnose

What Is Wrong With Your Sprinkler System?

Customers do not always know the name of the failed part. These are some of the symptoms that lead homeowners and property managers to call Hunter HydroTech.

Sprinkler heads will not pop up

Low pressure, broken piping, clogged heads, valve problems, pump issues, or too much demand on a zone can all cause weak operation.

Sprinkler repair options

One zone will not turn on

Common causes include failed solenoids, diaphragms, wiring faults, controller problems, damaged valves, or water-supply issues.

Valve & manifold repair

One zone will not shut off

A stuck or damaged irrigation valve, debris, diaphragm failure, or valve-body problem may allow water to continue flowing.

Diagnose a stuck zone

Wet lawn or flooded valve box

Underground pipe leaks, bad fittings, leaking manifolds, damaged valves, cracked heads, and mainline leaks can waste water and reduce pressure.

Leak detection & repair

Pump runs but sprinklers are weak

Lost prime, suction leaks, clogged intake screens, foot-valve issues, filters, relay problems, air leaks, and pump wear can reduce performance.

Pump system repair

Old sprinkler timer or controller

Older mechanical and digital timers can be replaced with modern controllers, including WiFi-enabled Hunter Hydrawise options.

Smart controller upgrades

Backflow is leaking or freeze damaged

Cracked bodies, failed shutoffs, leaking test cocks, worn internal components, and winter damage may require repair or replacement.

Backflow replacement

Coverage changed after landscaping

Patios, additions, driveways, new beds, fences, trees, and landscape changes can leave old sprinkler layouts with dry spots or overspray.

New zones & system changes
City Water Systems

City-water irrigation, backflows, valves, controllers & pressure issues

Many Southeast Michigan properties use municipal water and include a shutoff, backflow preventer, irrigation mainline, zone valves or manifolds, controller wiring, and spray or rotor zones. We diagnose leaks, pressure problems, stuck zones, failed valves, broken heads, controller issues, and backflow problems.

City-water service is especially common throughout Sterling Heights, Troy, Rochester Hills, Utica, Shelby Township, Grosse Pointe, Warren, Macomb, Royal Oak, Birmingham, and surrounding communities.

Pump-Fed Systems

Lake pumps, suction lines, relays, intakes, priming & pressure troubleshooting

Pump-fed sprinkler systems can fail differently than city-water systems. Problems may involve the pump, suction line, intake screen, foot valve, check valve, filter, electrical feed, pump-start relay, priming, air entering the suction side, or inadequate pressure and flow.

Pump and lake-fed systems are common in waterfront and larger-property areas including St. Clair Shores, Harrison Township, New Baltimore, Marine City-area communities, Shelby Township, Bloomfield-area properties, and other parts of Southeast Michigan.

Why Hunter HydroTech

Detailed troubleshooting instead of guessing at the problem

Irrigation problems are often connected. A dry zone can be a broken pipe, valve issue, wiring problem, pressure limitation, clogged head, pump problem, or controller fault. We work through the system so the repair recommendation is based on what the property actually needs.

Zone-by-Zone System Review

When the service allows, we check operation across the system rather than focusing only on the first broken part we see.

Necessary vs. Suggested Repairs

We can separate repairs needed for proper operation from upgrades that may improve coverage, reliability, efficiency, or convenience.

Residential & Commercial Capability

We service residential lawns, larger properties, pump-fed systems, city-water irrigation, and commercial landscapes with different system sizes and requirements.

What is included in a spring sprinkler start-up?

A typical spring start-up includes safely turning the irrigation water on, pressurizing the system, running the zones, checking sprinkler heads, looking for visible leaks and damaged components, adjusting coverage where possible, and reviewing controller settings.

Why should a sprinkler system be winterized in Michigan?

Michigan freezing temperatures can damage irrigation lines, fittings, valves, manifolds, backflow assemblies, and sprinkler heads when water remains trapped in the system. Professional winterization helps reduce the risk of freeze damage.

Do you repair pump-fed and lake-fed sprinkler systems?

Yes. Hunter HydroTech works on pump-fed irrigation systems including lake pumps, suction and intake lines, filters, foot valves, check valves, pump-start relays, priming problems, electrical issues, and low-pressure conditions.

Do you install WiFi sprinkler timers and smart controllers?

Yes. Hunter HydroTech installs and upgrades irrigation controllers, including Hunter Hydrawise and HPC smart-controller systems, along with compatible modules and sensors when appropriate for the property.

Do you install new sprinkler systems and additional zones?

Yes. Hunter HydroTech installs new residential and commercial irrigation systems, additional rotor or spray zones, drip irrigation zones, valves, piping, sprinkler heads, controllers, and related system components.

Can you repair an older sprinkler system instead of replacing everything?

Often, yes. Older systems can frequently be improved through targeted repairs such as valve or manifold replacement, new wiring, head upgrades, leak repair, controller replacement, backflow work, pressure corrections, or selective zone reconstruction. We inspect the system and explain what should be repaired now and what can be planned for later.
