"Tom was really efficient and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do at my place and had it done and tidied. Gave some advice on how to get the lawn back to being green and healthy. At my neighbour's place where I look after their garden it was a bit different as he was virtually working blind as I was not able to help with what stations came on etc. However it did not faze him and even though it took some time he finally was able to work out what happening and getting it sorted. Also checked the other sprinklers and adjusted to suit and changed timing of retic to suit. I called Perth Retic as last time Justin had come to my place to sort out retic and he provided excellent service as well so I had no hesitation in calling them this time. I would recommend them without a doubt."

Regular servicing keeps your reticulation efficient, waterwise and reliable
Why regular reticulation servicing matters
Just like your car, a reticulation system works better and lasts longer when it's serviced regularly. Over a season, sprinklers drift out of alignment, solenoids start to weep, fittings work loose and controller settings fall out of step with the watering roster — and you usually don't notice until a patch of lawn dies or the water bill jumps.
A regular service catches those small faults early, while they're cheap to fix, and keeps your watering efficient and within Perth's rules. It's the difference between a system you can rely on and one that quietly wastes water all summer. If a service does uncover a fault that needs more work, our team also handles full reticulation repairs.
The small faults a service catches before they cost you
Most reticulation problems don't arrive all at once — they creep in over a season. A sprinkler clipped by the mower starts spraying the fence instead of the lawn. A solenoid valve stops sealing cleanly and a station weeps water long after it should have shut off. A controller battery dies and the program drifts. None of it is dramatic on day one, but left alone through a Perth summer it adds up to dry patches, soggy corners, a higher water bill and, eventually, a repair that costs far more than a service would have.
That's the whole point of regular servicing: our technician finds and fixes the little things while they're still little. We check the coverage your garden is actually getting, not just whether water comes out — over-spray onto paths and driveways is wasted water, and under-coverage is what kills lawn in the heat. We make sure your controller is running the correct days, start times and durations for your water pressure and the current Water Corporation roster, and that any controller or WiFi unit is set up the way you actually use it.
If a service uncovers something bigger — a failed solenoid we need to locate, a cracked main, a pump that's struggling — we can usually fix it on the spot, and for anything beyond that we'll be upfront about what's needed. Our technicians carry fully stocked vehicles, so the majority of repairs are handled there and then rather than turning into a second visit.
What a reticulation health check covers
A reticulation health check is a full once-over of your system by an experienced technician. We don't just glance at it — we run it, test it and adjust it, so you finish with a clear picture of its condition and our honest advice on anything that needs attention.
- Run every station and check coverage for dry spots and over-spray
- Inspect, clean and realign sprinkler heads
- Check for leaks, low pressure and burst fittings
- Test solenoid valves and wiring
- Review the controller program against Perth's watering roster
- Advise on anything that needs repair — minor fixes done on the spot
Seasonal servicing through the Perth watering year
Perth's watering year has a rhythm — spring start-up, peak-summer testing, the winter switch-off and the quiet window for improvements. We look after your reticulation through every season of it.
Spring start-up
Before the warm weather returns, we bring your system back to life: run every station, check for leaks or burst fittings from over winter, realign and clear sprinklers, confirm coverage and reprogram the controller for the season ahead. It's the best way to avoid a dead patch of lawn in the first hot week.
Summer testing
Perth's hottest months are when a small fault does the most damage — a blocked nozzle or a head knocked out of line can kill a patch of lawn in days. That's why we recommend two visits across summer: one as the heat sets in and another mid-season, checking coverage, pressure and controller timing while it matters most. Two checks over the hottest months is the surest way to keep your garden alive through summer.
Winter switch-off
Perth's sprinkler ban runs 1 June to 31 August, when both scheme and garden-bore sprinkler watering is switched off. Heading into winter we wind your system down correctly and make sure it's protected over the cold months — so nothing is quietly leaking or seized when it's time to start up again.
Scheduled winter improvements
Winter is the quietest time of year and the ideal window for any bigger work a service uncovers — from repairs and controller upgrades to a full new system install. Booking improvements over winter means everything's tested and ready to go the moment the warm weather returns on 1 September.
