Your irrigation system is essential for keeping your lawn and landscaping healthy, but when it’s not working properly, it can lead to dry patches, overwatering, and wasted money. Here are three common irrigation problems we’ve fixed recently—along with tips to help you avoid them.
1. Leaking or Broken Sprinkler Heads
A broken or leaking sprinkler head can waste a significant amount of water and cause uneven coverage. Damage often happens due to lawnmowers, foot traffic, or freezing temperatures.
Fix: We replace broken heads, clean clogged nozzles, and adjust spray patterns for proper coverage.
Prevention Tip: Regularly inspect your sprinkler heads for damage or leaks and clear away any dirt or debris that could cause clogging.
2. Low Water Pressure
Weak water pressure can lead to inefficient watering, leaving some areas of your lawn dry while others get too much moisture. This issue is often caused by leaks, clogged filters, or issues with the backflow preventer.
Fix: We identify leaks, clean out clogged components, and adjust pressure regulators to restore proper flow.
Prevention Tip: If you notice weak or uneven spray patterns, check for visible leaks or clogs and schedule a system inspection.
3. Faulty Irrigation Controller
An irrigation system is only as good as its controller. If your system isn’t running on schedule, is skipping zones, or won’t turn on, the controller could be to blame.
Fix: We reset controllers, update settings, and replace faulty wiring to get systems back on track.
Prevention Tip: Check your controller regularly, update the watering schedule for seasonal changes, and replace backup batteries if needed.
