Why won’t my sprinklers pop up?

Several problems can prevent sprinkler heads from popping up. For example, here are a few possible culprits:
- The valve is partially closed.
- There’s dirt, sand or debris between the sprinkler’s cap and riser.
- There's low water pressure.
- There are leaks in the water line.
