Sprinkler systems are the best way to keep your lawn lush and green all season long. From time to time, all systems will run into problems that need fixing. Some of them are more common than others. These are just some that we see all the time.
Accidents can cause ruptures. Parts can give out. Connectors can come loose. Even normal use of the system can cause hoses to slip.
These are quite common and are usually very easy to fix, whether the part needs to be replaced or simply unclogged.
Wiring problems can cause watering stations to stop working, fuses to blow, timers to stop working, and they can even stop the entire system from working.
Poor coverage can leave parts of the lawn untouched or overwater other parts.
Different types of plants are suited to different types of spray patterns. In some cases, even different systems, such as drip irrigation systems, are more appropriate.
If your system is improperly prepared for the winter, then piping can crack or damage the backflow valve.
The wrong controller settings can cause systems to cycle repeatedly or use water inefficiently, which can cause big problems for your lawn.
The wrong parts and improper installation can cause inefficiencies. Also, improperly installed parts are more likely to cause systems to break down.
Sprinkler or irrigation systems not installed by professionals can run into a number of problems, from inefficient water use to complete system failures.
It's always best to let the professionals install a sprinkler or irrigation system. Professionals can diagnose and solve problems before they become a hindrance to your lawn. The best way to prevent these types of problems is to hire a professional to inspect and maintain a system.
Regular maintenance and inspection can stop problems before they start, so you don't have to replace expensive parts, replant sections of your landscape, and so on. For professional help with your sprinkler system, call 905-203-2719 today.
