5 Signs Your Sprinkler System Needs Repair
There are many benefits to owning your own sprinkler system. However, its benefits will only be present if you take care of the components that make up the sprinkler system. The following includes five signs your sprinkler system is in need of repairs.
5. Sprinkler System Leaves Random Yellow Patches
As you may know, the job of a sprinkler system is to equally water every part of your yard. So, what does it mean when you start to suddenly see yellow patches around your yard? It means that you may have one of a few different underline issues. Having these issues fixed, especially within a desert landscape, is critical to saving your yard. Seek a desert landscaping Las Vegas company to ensure that the work is properly done and your irrigation system is back up and running.
4. Too Much or Too Little Pressure
If you’re noticing that your sprinkler is spouting too much or too little water, then you may have a different issue on your hands. It is often the case that the pipes within the ground have moved due to tree roots or even an earthquake.
3. High Water Utility Bill from Sprinkler System
It’s the first of the month, and you notice that you suddenly have a high water bill on your hands. This can be one of two things. Either your system’s regulator is off, or the underground pipes have begun to leak.
2. Odd Sprinkler Head Movement
If you notice that the sprinkler head is moving oddly, then you could be dealing with a dirty sprinkler system. Dirt and debris may have made its way into the sprinkler head, preventing it from moving within its normal pattern.
1. Leaking Control Valves
Your control valves should be tight to the point that there is no water leaking. They are also built this way to prevent debris and dirt from entering the pipes. Therefore if you begin to notice damp soil around the valve or clearly see water spouting out of it, then it is likely that a repair is required.
When in doubt, you can always get in touch with a desert landscaping company who can perform regular maintenance and repairs for your yard technology.
