When it comes to maintaining a vibrant and healthy lawn, nothing is as effective and convenient as a sprinkler system. Automatic timers and other user-friendly features mean that homeowners can water their lawns with minimal effort, allowing them to dispense with the more time-consuming methods of the past.
If your sprinkler system is broken or wasn’t installed properly in the first place, then you can’t take full advantage of these labor-saving benefits. When problems develop, you can call Christianson Air Conditioning & Plumbing for local sprinkler system installation and repair services available at reasonable rates.
Common Sprinkler System Problems
Here are just a few ways a sprinkler irrigation system can experience performance issues:
- Broken sprinkler head(s) – If a sprinkler head protrudes too far from the ground, it can be easily broken by a lawn mower or human feet. The hot sun also plays a role in promoting the premature deterioration of sprinkler heads, making them more prone to breakage.
- Misaligned sprinkler head(s) – Sometimes, a sprinkler head can tilt out of alignment or sink into the ground due to the shifting of the soil.
- Low water pressure – Broken pipes or defective backflow valves could result in weak pressure that leaves parts of the lawn unwatered.
- Poorly spaced sprinkler heads – The arrangement of the sprinkler heads is suboptimal, so the water fails to reach certain areas of the lawn.
