Some sprinkler problems can't wait for a scheduled appointment — a zone running constantly is wasting hundreds of litres per hour and driving up your water bill. A broken main line is flooding your yard. A head spraying directly onto your house siding is causing moisture damage. For these situations, J.G. Irrigation prioritizes urgent service calls in Calgary.

How do I turn off my Calgary sprinkler system in an emergency?
Three ways to stop your Calgary sprinkler system in an emergency: (1) Turn off the controller display — most zones will stop within 30 seconds. (2) If the zone keeps running after controller is off, close the manual shut-off on the backflow preventer box (usually near the house foundation or utility room). (3) If you can't find the backflow shut-off, turn off the main water supply to your home. Then call J.G. Irrigation at 587-433-4795 for emergency repair.
