Irrigation Experts for Casa View's <accent>Mid-Century Homes</accent>

Absolutely. Most Casa View systems are 30-60+ years old and waste significant water through corroded pipes, worn valves, and outdated controllers. A modern upgrade — even a partial one — typically pays for itself within 2-3 seasons through lower water bills. We can upgrade your system in phases: start with a smart controller and nozzle swap for immediate savings, then address pipe and valve issues as budget allows. You don't have to replace everything at once.

Many original Casa View homes were built without irrigation systems. Some had basic systems added in the 1970s-80s, and some still rely on hose-end sprinklers. If you're not sure, we can check for you — look for a backflow preventer (a brass device with test ports) near your water meter, valve boxes (green or black lids) in the yard, or sprinkler heads along bed edges. If there's no system, we design and install new systems sized specifically for Casa View's compact lots and mature landscaping.

It depends on the pipe's condition. If the galvanized supply line still has adequate flow, we can work with it. But if internal corrosion has narrowed the pipe enough to starve the system of pressure — which is common after 60+ years — the only real fix is replacing that section with modern copper or PEX. We test flow and pressure at the point of connection to give you an honest assessment. Sometimes replacing one 10-foot section of corroded galvanized solves the entire system's pressure problems.

In the DFW area, full compressed-air blowouts aren't necessary — the ground doesn't freeze deep enough to threaten buried PVC. Focus on protecting what's above ground: wrap your backflow preventer and any exposed pipe with foam insulation tape or an insulated cover, and make sure your controller suspends watering during freeze events. Smart controllers like Rachio do this automatically. After any hard freeze, run each zone manually and walk your yard to check for cracked fittings or leaking heads before resuming normal operation.

Inspection pricing depends on system size and complexity, but most Casa View properties fall in a standard residential range. We run every zone, check head coverage and alignment, test valve operation, measure system pressure, and inspect the backflow preventer and controller. You get a written report of everything we find with prioritized repair recommendations and upfront pricing. No surprise charges.
