A functional sprinkler system is necessary for more than just routine watering to maintain a lush lawn. Whether you own a business or are a homeowner, maintaining the health and beauty of your landscape depends on your sprinkler system. However, it’s not always easy to tell when your sprinkler system needs maintenance or repair.
In this blog, we’ll look at a few telltale indicators that your property likely needs professional sprinkler services.
- Uneven Watering: Uneven watering is one of the most obvious signs that you need repairs or maintenance. Your sprinklers may not be dispersing water evenly if you see areas of overly wet grass next to patches of brown, dry grass. This might be the result of low water pressure, misaligned sprinkler heads, or clogged nozzles.
- Low Water Pressure: If you observe a noticeable drop in the water pressure coming from your sprinkler heads, you should schedule sprinkler services right away. Many problems, such as broken valves, system leaks, or mineral accumulation in the pipes, can result in low water pressure. Ignoring low water pressure will reduce the efficiency of your irrigation and, over time, can cause additional harm to your system.
- Evident Puddles or Leaks: Your sprinkler system may have leaks that waste a lot of water and harm your property. Look out for any water collecting or puddles near sprinkler heads or along irrigation lines. A minor leak may be a sign of a bigger problem that requires immediate sprinkler services, including sprinkler repair. A concealed sprinkler system leak may also be the cause of an unexpected spike in your water bill if there is no corresponding increase in usage.
- Inconsistent Timer Operation: If you schedule your irrigation cycles using a timer or controller, keep an eye out for any irregularities or inconsistencies in its performance. Make sure your timer is set correctly, and if you want more precise control and water savings, talk to our team about upgrading to a smart irrigation system.
