Irrigation & Sprinkler System FAQs
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Quality Design Inc. is fully insured and our irrigation work is performed by licensed irrigators. This helps protect your property and ensures work is completed correctly and in compliance with requirements.
Do you provide sprinkler system inspections and repairs?
Yes. We diagnose and repair common issues like broken sprinkler heads, leaking valves, stuck zones, main line leaks, low pressure, dry spots, controller problems, and coverage issues.
How often should an irrigation system be checked?
We recommend at least an annual inspection, plus seasonal adjustments as weather changes. Regular monthly inspections help prevent water waste, plant stress, and unexpected repair costs.
Can irrigation issues cause high water bills?
Yes. Leaks, stuck valves, broken heads, or incorrect scheduling can lead to major water waste. An inspection can quickly identify problems and improve efficiency.
Smart Controllers & Water Efficiency
Do smart irrigation controllers save water?
Yes. Smart controllers adjust watering based on weather conditions and seasonal changes. In Houston’s climate, this can reduce overwatering and help lower monthly water bills.
Can you upgrade outdated sprinkler timers/controllers?
Absolutely. We upgrade older controllers to newer smart or remote-access options when appropriate, and we make sure your zones and run times are set up correctly.
Backflow & Compliance FAQs
What is a backflow prevention device and why is it important?
Backflow prevention helps protect the drinking water supply by preventing reverse flow from an irrigation system. It’s an important safety component and may be required for compliance depending on the property.
Do you service backflow prevention assemblies?
Yes. We inspect and service backflow-related irrigation components and can recommend the right corrective action if a system is not operating properly.

Do you offer irrigation maintenance plans?
Yes. We offer ongoing irrigation maintenance and protection options designed to reduce unexpected repair costs and keep systems operating efficiently. These plans can include inspections, adjustments, and priority service.
Are maintenance plans available for commercial properties?
