When one zone stops and the rest keep working, the problem is isolated, which helps. It is usually the controller output, the wire to that valve, the solenoid or the valve itself. A methodical test finds it faster than guessing.
We repair dead and stuck zones across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We test at the controller, check the wire for continuity, test the solenoid and valve, and then replace or repair the part at fault, so the zone works and stays working.

FAQ
Common questions about zone not working
Can a controller cause a dead zone?
Yes. A failed output can stop one zone. We test the controller first so we do not replace valves unnecessarily.
Why did it stop after lightning?
Lightning can damage controllers, wiring and solenoids. We test each in turn.
Is a broken wire expensive to find?
Finding a break takes testing, and we use meters and tracing to locate it without digging up the whole yard.
