Sprinklers provide a steady supply of water to your lawn and landscaping, fostering the healthy growth of trees, plants, and flowers. Routine upkeep of your irrigation system will ensure your garden receives the right amount of water at the appropriate times. Learn about sprinkler repairs and maintenance so you can take proper care of your landscaping’s hydration needs.

A Guide to Sprinkler Repairs & Maintenance 

Look for Common Problems

Leaks are among the most widespread sprinkler repair issues. Visually inspect your system at the beginning of each season. Check the water lines, valves, spray heads, rotors, and fittings for visible holes and cracks. If leaks are present, they can waste up to hundreds of gallons of water per week. Clogged sprinkler heads are another frequently occurring issue, causing unsteady spray patterns and pooling water.

When You Need Repairs

While it’s easy enough to replace a clogged or damaged sprinkler head on your own, you’ll need a professional for more extensive issues. Broken water lines, for instance, require digging deep into the ground to unearth pipes for repair. Hire the experts when you have broken valve switches as well since these control the entire water supply to your sprinklers and usually require part replacements. 

How to Prevent Potential Issues

One of the most effective safeguards against the above sprinkler problems is mid-season tuneup from a local contractor. They’ll inspect your sprinkler heads, moisture sensors, timer, lines, and valves for any signs of trouble, performing repairs as necessary to get your system ready for the growing season.
