Water Protection

Irrigation maintenance plans that catch leaks and failures before they show up on your water bill.

Most irrigation systems run underground and out of sight. When something goes wrong (a stuck valve, a broken line, a slow drip leak) water can run unnoticed for weeks. The Controlled Rain Water Protection Program puts a professional on your entire system, zone by zone, on a schedule, so problems get caught before they cost you.

Rising Water Costs Make Irrigation Leaks More Expensive

Water rates across the Phoenix metro area have increased in recent years as cities respond to drought conditions, infrastructure costs, and long-term Colorado River supply concerns.

Several Valley communities have already implemented rate increases. For example, Gilbert homeowners recently experienced significant water rate increases, with additional adjustments taking effect this year.

Because most residential water use in Arizona happens outdoors, irrigation issues often have the largest impact on a homeowner’s water bill.

The Water Protection Program catches irrigation problems early, before they turn into wasted water and surprise bills.

Why Irrigation Problems Often Go Unnoticed

Outdoor irrigation accounts for the majority of residential water use in Arizona.

Unlike plumbing inside the home, irrigation systems run automatically and are largely hidden underground. When a problem develops, it often continues unnoticed until the next water bill arrives.

Common irrigation failures include:

  • stuck valves
  • broken drip lines
  • cracked lateral pipes
  • controller programming issues

Even small irrigation problems can waste thousands of gallons of water over time.

What an Irrigation Leak Can Cost

Because irrigation systems run automatically, problems can continue for weeks before they are noticed.

Typical examples include:

  • Small drip leak — $30–$80 per month in wasted water
  • Stuck valve or broken emitter line — $100–$300 per month in excess water use
  • Mainline break — $500+ potential water bill spike if left undetected

Water Protection Program members have a professional walking every zone of their system on a schedule, so problems get found in person, not on a water bill.

Interested in smart monitoring? Our WPP Hardware packages add a Rachio Pro smart controller and flow meter to your system, the equipment behind the System Monitoring add-on. Ask your technician or call for package pricing.

How the Water Protection Program Works

Scheduled visits, timed to Arizona’s watering calendar, with a report you can actually use.

Step 1: Every Visit Is a Full System Check

We run every zone and walk it while it’s running. Leaks, broken or clogged heads, stuck valves, dry spots, coverage gaps, and overspray, plus a visual inspection of exposed poly tubing and valve boxes. Your controller is reprogrammed for the season before we leave. Every controller on the property, every visit.

Step 2: Timed to Arizona’s Watering Calendar

Visits land in May/June, July/August, October/November, and January/February. Two of the four happen in the heat, because summer is when systems fail and water gets wasted. On the 2-Visit plan, we handle the two transitions that matter most: summer prep and winter changeover. We schedule every visit and reach out to you. You never have to remember to call.

Step 3: A Report You Can Actually Use

After every visit you receive a written zone-by-zone condition report with photos of anything we flagged. If we find something that needs work, it’s priced on the spot at member rates: add-on pricing since we’re already there, plus your 10% member discount, and never a separate trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a membership visit include?
We run every zone and walk it while it’s running: leaks, broken or clogged heads, stuck valves, dry spots, coverage gaps, and overspray, plus a visual inspection of exposed poly tubing and valve boxes. Your controller is reprogrammed for the season before we leave, and you receive a written zone-by-zone report with photos of anything we flagged.
Do you check every single emitter?
Our checks are detailed by zone: every zone is run and walked while it operates. Individual emitters aren’t individually tested unless they’re visibly stressed or you ask us to, which we quote as additional work.
Is repair work included in the membership?
No. The membership covers the full system check and seasonal programming. When we find something during a membership visit, it’s quoted on the spot at add-on pricing, since we’re already on the property, plus your 10% member discount. Need a repair between scheduled visits? That’s billed at standard service pricing with the same 10% discount.
Is there a discount for paying annually?
Same price either way, whichever is easier for you: monthly on a card, or the year up front.
What if I have more than one timer?
We count zones across all controllers on the property, and every controller gets checked and reprogrammed on every visit. Your zone total is what sets your price.
Can I cancel my membership?
Memberships are a 12-month commitment and renew annually. You can cancel or change plans with 30 days’ written notice before renewal.
How do I sign up?
Call (480) 699-9695 or ask your technician on any service call. They’ll build a membership quote for your exact zone count on the spot. If you already have a quote in your inbox, accepting it starts your membership.
