Diagnostic Inspection and Repairs for Commercial Irrigation Systems
Commercial irrigation systems demand more than surface-level fixes. Our repair and inspection process focuses on identifying root causes, correcting system failures, and restoring long-term performance without disrupting daily site operations.
Commercial Irrigation Inspection in Fort Worth
Irrigation systems degrade in ways that aren't always visible. Pressure drops across zones, heads drift out of alignment, controllers lose programming accuracy, and underground lines develop slow leaks that go unnoticed until turf starts failing or water bills spike.
Black Hill's inspection process evaluates the full system, not just the parts you can see. Every commercial inspection includes:
- Pressure and Flow Testing. Zone-by-zone measurement to identify restrictions, leaks, or pressure imbalances that affect coverage.
- Head and Rotor Inspection. Spray patterns, arc alignment, and nozzle condition checked to confirm even distribution. Dry spots and overspray flagged.
- Valve and Solenoid Testing. Each zone valve tested for proper open/close function, flow control, and electrical response.
- Controller and Programming Review. Run times, start times, seasonal adjustments, and rain/freeze sensor function verified against property needs.
- Backflow Device Inspection. Backflow prevention assemblies checked for compliance with Fort Worth testing requirements.
- Line and Fitting Assessment. Visible infrastructure evaluated for wear, corrosion, or early failure indicators.
Findings are documented in a prioritized report with photos, efficiency observations, and recommended corrective actions.

- Rain and Freeze Sensor Repair. Sensors tested and replaced to ensure the system shuts down during rain and freeze events. Required by Fort Worth for all commercial irrigation systems.
- Backflow Prevention Device Repair. Failed or non-compliant backflow assemblies repaired or replaced. Testing and certification provided for city compliance.
Fort Worth Commercial Irrigation Compliance Requirements
Fort Worth requires annual backflow prevention testing for all commercial irrigation systems. Rain and freeze sensors are also required on every commercial system. Non-compliance can result in water service issues and city notices.
Black Hill Landscaping handles compliance as part of every inspection and repair engagement:
- Annual Backflow Testing. Assemblies tested by licensed personnel. Certificates filed with the City of Fort Worth Water Department.
- Rain and Freeze Sensor Verification. Sensors tested for proper function during every inspection. Replaced when faulty.
- Documentation for Property Managers. Compliance records maintained and provided for audits, ownership reporting, or city requests.
If your property hasn't had a backflow test this year, or if you're unsure whether your sensors are functioning, schedule an inspection. We'll assess compliance and correct any issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial irrigation repair cost in Fort Worth?
Cost depends on the type and scope of repair. Minor repairs like head replacements or controller adjustments typically run lower, while underground line repairs, valve replacements, or multi-zone issues are more involved. After an on-site inspection, Black Hill Landscaping provides a documented scope with transparent pricing before any repair work begins. No surprise charges.
What are signs that a commercial irrigation system needs repair?
Common indicators include brown or dry patches in otherwise irrigated turf, standing water or soggy areas, visible leaks at heads or valve boxes, uneven spray coverage, rising water bills, or controller errors. Any of these suggest a system issue that should be diagnosed before it causes turf damage or water waste.
Do you repair all irrigation system brands?
Yes. Our technicians work with all major commercial irrigation brands including Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, and Irritrol. We also service older systems and can recommend upgrades when components are no longer supported.
Do you recalibrate systems after repairs are completed?
Absolutely. Every repair concludes with system recalibration to ensure correct pressure, spray pattern alignment, and run time accuracy. This step ensures the repair delivers lasting performance rather than a temporary fix.
Can irrigation repairs reduce water bills for commercial properties?
Yes. Leaking lines, stuck valves, misaligned heads, and inefficient controller programming all waste water. A single stuck valve can waste thousands of gallons per month. Correcting these issues through inspection and targeted repair typically results in measurable reductions in water usage.
Do you offer emergency irrigation repair for commercial properties?
Yes. For active leaks, main line breaks, or system failures affecting property access or safety, Black Hill provides priority response. Call (817) 995-0324 for immediate assessment.
Will irrigation repairs disrupt tenants or property operations?
Repairs are scheduled around your property’s operating hours. For office parks, retail centers, and other properties with daytime traffic, we complete work during early morning or off-peak hours. Underground repairs involve minimal surface disturbance, and affected areas are restored upon completion.
Do you provide service reports for property managers and HOA boards?
Yes. Every inspection and repair visit is documented with findings, photos, work performed, and recommendations.
