Winter is hard on yards and gardens in Lethbridge. So is summer. This is one reason why many people here invest in sprinkler systems. However, if they are not properly maintained and promptly repaired, even the most expensive sprinkler system will fail to function at peak performance.
Here are 5 common sprinkler system issues that we at Lawn Boys/LCW Industries see when we are called out for sprinkler repair.
Uneven Watering
Uneven watering is one of the reasons why people opt to install sprinkler systems in the first place, so it is disheartening when the irrigation system begins to replicate the problem. However, with regular maintenance and prompt sprinkler repair, you can avoid wet and dry patches in your yard or garden. The problem is often as simple as a faulty valve or control, or a wiring issue.
Leaky Valves and Pipes
Irrigation systems are designed to maximize water usage, so when you have leaking valves and pipes, your system is not performing one of its most important functions. A sprinkler repair person will be able to identify the cause of the leaking wherever it is along the line. Since there is a huge potential for problems, including property damage, it is important to proceed with prompt sprinkler repair.
Low Water Pressure
Leaks are a common source of low water pressure, but there are other reasons as well. These include design flaws, blockage, faulty hardware. When your irrigation system operates with low water pressure, your timed system will not provide your yard with enough water. To provide adequate water, you will need to water longer or more often. The best solution, however, would be to inspect and repair your sprinkler system so that it functions as it was intended.
Clogged Sprinkler Head
Regular inspection of filters and nozzles and maintenance of your sprinkler heads can prevent clogging due to the build-up of dirt, debris, or minerals. At Lawn Boys/LCW Industries, we offer this type of inspection as part of our sprinkler maintenance services. It is a proactive, cost-effective way to save on sprinkler repair.
Controller Issues and Electrical Malfunctions
When you have controller issues and electrical malfunctions, it is best to seek professional sprinkler repair to prevent injury or further damage to your system. We will examine the impeller and clear it of all debris, repair and replace any damaged parts, check the pump’s wiring for defects or damage and repair them as needed.
