Most underperforming systems don’t need a rebuild; they need a focused retrofit. We start with a pressure/flow audit and station-by-station inspection: mismatched nozzles, clogged filters, incorrect regulators, or poor zoning. Many “thirsty” zones simply suffer from overspray and misting; converting overhead to drip, correcting pressure, and adding cycle and soak often deliver immediate results. We rationalize controllers and maps, fix naming chaos, and establish a clear alarm logic so technicians can triage rather than chase ghosts. Where soils are hydrophobic or compacted, we couple irrigation fixes with soil remediation to regain infiltration.

Retrofit plans are staged for ROI. Quick wins (regulation, nozzles, scheduling) come first; structural changes (re-zoning, mainline upsizing) follow only where they unlock durable savings. We document before/after consumption, so owners see savings as a verified trend; not a promise. For sites that later adopt TSE or optional storage, we leave provisions; stub-outs, space for filtration, controller capacity; so the upgrade is painless. Training closes the loop: seasonal reset guides, inspection checklists, and spare-parts schedules keep the gains you just paid for.
