sprinkler valves stuck
I had a bad valve in one sprinkler zone. Just got back down here and found I have grubs due to lawn not getting water. I have worked on 2 zones so far and both do not work without me manually turning the valves. When I manually turn on Zone 1, I hear squeaking coming from the valve. The water is dribbling out of the heads. I have to manually turn valve and then I can hear the gush of water go through. So then it is fine. Then I try again manually and find the same issue. I am not sure what the problem is. So far Zones 1 and 2 are acting up at the new valves. They will not fire up on theirt own. Any suggestions?
I would also consider hiring someone with a push mower, that does weeding and trimming and knows his sprinklers. I just fired my last guy due to neglect. I need someone with sprinkler knowledge due to my problems always stem from lack of water. I have grubs and weeds. Why are these guys so good the first year and then terrible the following year.
