Rainy season may mean running your sprinkler irrigation system less if at all, but it also can result in unknown leaks. Rather than discovering a leak only after receiving a costly water bill, take a few tips from the residential plumbing experts at Joe Klosterman Plumbing in Cincinnati, OH. The plumbing company regularly performs outside utility work, and the staff are masters at fixing any and all leaks.

Check out their favorite tips for ensuring a leak-free, fully-functioning sprinkler system:

  • Broken Sprinkler Heads: Inspect your system as often as possible for broken sprinkler heads. Replace them when necessary to avoid leaks and spray issues.
  • Sprinkler Head Filters: Look at sprinkler head filters to check for clogs. Soil and debris cause clogs and therefore water pressure problems, so clean filters about once a month.
  • Valve Boxes: Open the sprinkler irrigation system’s valve boxes to make certain the inside of each is dry. Replace leaking valves as needed.

  • Backflow Device: Observe your system’s backflow device for cracks.
  • Pipes: Walk around your property twice. Do so once when the weather is dry and you haven’t run your sprinklers for at least a day, and the other after you’ve run your system’s complete cycle. If you notice extremely wet/soggy areas of your lawn, you likely have a broken underground pipe to deal with.

Keep a watchful eye on your water bill, as this is another great way to determine if you have a leak. Don’t forget to winterize your system when the weather turns frosty, and to utilize the expertise of the Joe Klosterman Plumbing team for all serious leaks and repairs. The plumbing company continues to provide Cincinnati, OH, and the surrounding area with outstanding plumbing services.
