Irrigation Wire Tracing Services for Your Home's Landscape

A sprinkler zone refuses to wake—one valve silent. No visible glitch, no obvious break. Time for AIM’s wire tracing sleuths: they follow electric trails underground like detectives, pinpoint a nicked wire, fix it, and restore flow. Pow—system revived, zero guesswork.

Serving homeowners and property managers throughout Northern Arizona, we use advanced diagnostic tools to get to the root of your irrigation system’s electrical problems.

What Is Irrigation Wire Tracing?

Irrigation systems rely on a network of low-voltage wiring that connects your controller to every valve in the system. If one of these wires becomes nicked, cut, corroded, or damaged, it can cause intermittent operation or complete failure in one or more irrigation zones.

Wire tracing is the process of detecting and following these buried wires to find faults or breaks without tearing up your yard. With professional-grade tools, we pinpoint issues and restore full system functionality without unnecessary digging.

When Should You Consider Wire Tracing?

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to call us:

  • Certain sprinkler zones not turning on
  • Valves that seem to operate randomly or inconsistently
  • Your controller is signaling activity, but no water flows
  • Burned out or unresponsive solenoids
  • Suspected rodent or landscape damage to underground wires

Don’t waste time guessing. Our team can quickly determine whether the problem lies in the wiring, controller, or valve.

Our Irrigation Wire Tracing Process

1. Initial Electrical Diagnosis

Before jumping into wire tracing, we perform a full electrical test of your irrigation system to verify if the issue is wiring-related or due to a faulty controller, solenoid, or valve.

2. Wire Tracing and Fault Detection

Once a wire issue is confirmed, we use professional wire tracing equipment to follow the underground paths from the controller to each valve box. This process allows us to locate precisely:

  • Broken or cut wires
  • Corroded or exposed connections
  • Shorts or signal loss in bundles

3. Repairs and Restoration

After identifying the problem area, we carefully dig only where necessary to expose and repair the wire or connection. We test the system before leaving to ensure full restoration.
