Sprinkler System Inspection
Operational test of irrigation system, controller, and backflow. Catches freeze damage and broken zones common in Utah.
Sprinkler System Inspections for Utah Homes
A sprinkler system inspection evaluates the irrigation controller, accessible piping and valves, individual zone operation, sprinkler head coverage, backflow prevention, and overall system condition. Most home inspections do not include irrigation in the standard scope — there are too many components to test thoroughly within the regular inspection time.
For a Utah home with an established lawn, a working irrigation system is genuinely important. Replacement of a complete system can run $3,000–$8,000 depending on yard size, and individual component failures often go unnoticed by sellers.
