In our 20 years of experience at A Greener South, we have observed that many people know little about their irrigation systems. While we don’t think you need to be an expert on the subject, it’s important to have a basic understanding so you can take proper care of your system. Today, we’ll go over four telltale signs you need irrigation repair so you’ll know when to give us a call.
- Uneven Watering- Irrigation systems are designed to distribute water evenly among your plants or grass. If you notice dry, patchy areas on your lawn, spongy grass, or standing water, these signs indicate that something is wrong with your system and you need to call for irrigation repairs.
- Inconsistent Pressure- If the water pressure is too low or too high, you know there is a problem. Low pressure might be caused by a blockage in the pipes (perhaps tree roots), while high pressure could mean some part of your irrigation system is malfunctioning. To prevent premature wear on your system or underwatered grass, irrigation repairs are necessary.
- Sputtering Heads- Check your sprinkler heads to make sure they are spraying in the intended direction. Cleaning them can resolve some problems, but if the heads are still sputtering after you clean them, there may be a problem with the valve.
- Skyrocketing Water Bill- If your irrigation system is working properly, you shouldn’t be seeing an unpredictable water bill each month. A water bill that continues to rise may indicate that there is a leak or another problem within your irrigation.
