Irrigation Audit Services in Wall Township, New Jersey
Is Your Irrigation System Wasting Water and Money?
A sudden jump in your water bill is one of the clearest signs something is wrong with your irrigation system. Leaks, broken heads, and misaligned nozzles waste water quietly for months before you notice, and by then the cost has added up. An irrigation audit finds exactly where that water and money are going. (Our post on why an audit matters for your wallet and the environment breaks down the payoff.)
An audit is a full inspection of your system. We check every component, including sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves, pipes, the backflow preventer, and the controller, then test how evenly your system actually waters. You get a clear report showing where you're losing water and what it will take to fix it.

Signs You Need an Irrigation Audit
Your water bill spiked with no clear explanation
Green patches next to dry or brown spots, which points to uneven coverage
Soggy areas or pooling water, a common sign of an underground leak
Some zones water weaker than they used to
The system is 10 or more years old and has never been evaluated
If any of these sound familiar, an audit tells you what's really going on before small problems become costly repairs. For older systems, an audit often points toward revamping an antiquated setup rather than piecemeal fixes.
What We Check During an Audit
Our irrigation audit looks at the whole system and how well it delivers water where it should go. A typical residential inspection takes about 30 to 60 minutes, run under calm conditions so the readings are accurate.
Distribution Uniformity
We test how evenly your system waters using a catch-can measurement, placing containers across a zone and comparing how much water each one collects. Distribution uniformity of around 70% is considered strong, and anything well below that means parts of your lawn are being overwatered to keep other parts green, wasting water every cycle.
Leaks and Broken Components
We inspect for leaking valves, broken or misaligned heads, and clogged nozzles, the most common causes of water waste and rising bills. A single failed zone can run $500 to $2,000 to repair if it's left to worsen, so catching it early matters — and in some cases the numbers favor a repair versus a full replacement.
Pressure and Coverage
We check water pressure and precipitation rate across zones. Too much pressure causes misting and wear; too little causes dry spots. Both waste water and stress your landscape.
Controller and Scheduling
We review your controller settings and run times. Systems often water too long or at the wrong times, and correcting the schedule alone can cut a noticeable amount off your bill.
What Happens After the Audit
An audit is the starting point, not the finish. Once we know what's wrong, we handle the fixes, whether that's repairing leaks and broken heads or upgrading to a smart controller that adjusts watering to the weather and reduces water use by 30 to 50%. You get one company handling the diagnosis and the repair, so nothing gets lost between finding the problem and fixing it.
