    Default Lawn Irrigation work in Longmont



    I've a 20 year old set of valves and one was leaking when I turned on the system the other day. Got a rebuild kit though the guy at DBC said I'd be better off just replacing it. Long story short, its now considerably worse than when I started.

    Looking for someone to replace at least 3 valves perhaps all six (2 boxes). I'd like a bid/estimate first. Its a 3/4 inch system.

    Do you need to replace any piping as well or just the valves? Got any pics.

    It looks to me as if the valves are welded to the manifold and outlet piping. That's why I don't want to tackle it. Looks like a set of three valves at a minimum to correct my problem. Other set of three should probably be replaced as well if the price is right. I'll go take some pics.

    Not obvious in the pics is that the valves are sloping at about a 30 degree angle due to ground settling. Its the middle one causing my current problem.
