You likely need sprinkler repair if you see uneven spray, puddles after watering, low pressure, a water bill that rises for no reason, or a timer that runs inconsistently. Here is what each sign means. In this article, we will focus on our sprinkler repair services, going over a few ways to tell if your sprinklers need our attention.
- Uneven Water Spray – One way to determine if you need sprinkler repair services is to pay attention to the pattern of water spray. If the spray on one side of a sprinkler head is noticeably weaker than the spray on the other, then we encourage you to give us a call so we can inspect the issue. Our technicians have the right experience to repair your sprinklers so they spray evenly all around.
- Puddles – Another sign you likely need sprinkler repair services is the presence of puddles or standing water on your lawn after watering. When your irrigation system is working properly, it will water every part of your lawn enough to keep the grass healthy, but not enough to leave puddles. If you are dealing with excess water pooling on your lawn, we encourage you to give us a call.
- Increased Water Bills – A third sign you need sprinkler repair is an increase in your water bill. If you have noticed your monthly charge for water going up without a corresponding change in your habits, then it’s likely you have a leak somewhere, and your sprinkler system could be the culprit. Our team can find the source of the leak and repair the issue.
- Low Water Pressure – A fourth sign is a noticeable drop in pressure at your sprinkler heads. Broken valves, leaks in the system or mineral build-up in the pipes can all cause low pressure, and ignoring it reduces your irrigation’s efficiency and can damage the system over time.
- Inconsistent Timer Operation – A fifth sign is a timer or controller that does not run your cycles as scheduled. Check that it is set correctly, and if you want more precise control and water savings, ask our team about upgrading to a smart irrigation controller.
