When Should You Hire Sprinkler System Repair Services? 5 Major Problems

With the introduction of the sprinkler system in the irrigation process, the maintenance of lawns and other landscapes has become easy. The manual effort for watering plants and trees has reduced and you can see much more greenery in your lawn than before.

But, with times, the sprinkler system starts giving problems. Slowly and steadily, problems start overpowering the system and affecting the output. You will find that the result of the system is not the same as before. At the initial stage, the issues are minor but if it’s not identified on time, it can become major issues for your system. So, it’s always said to identify the issues as early as possible and hire sprinkler system repair services before the issues become critical.

 In this blog, we have mentioned 5 common sprinkler problems that require repair service:

1)     Damage in head and pipe of the sprinkler

Just like irrigation products, sprinkler systems do suffer from wear and tear. If not so, you might find damage in the head or pipe due to vandalism or accidents during building renovation or construction. If these damages are not repaired on time, the system will stop working after a few days and it will become a major problem for you. In case, you wish to stay away from such issues, you should install a protective cage around the system.

2)     Leak in the sprinkler pipe

It’s difficult to identify pipe leaking problems directly in the sprinkler system so you should analyse the wetness of the lawn. If your lawn is flooded, soaked, or sodden every time, it means your sprinkler is leaking. There is no such particular reason for water leakage; it can happen as a result of damaged, defective equipment, tight fittings, improper installation, or lack of maintenance services. To protect the lawn, hire the sprinkler system repair services soon.

3)     Corrosion in the sprinkler system

It’s a well-known fact that corrosion occurs in any device that uses water (either works for water or works with water). Thinking it to be a common problem, people often ignore it and do not worry about any repair. But, later, it starts making a hole in the pipe which causes leakage. If you experience awful smell near the system or find discoloured water coming out from the system, your system is corroded.

4)     Head of the pipe not popping up

If you have a pop-up sprinkler system, this might be a major problem for you. It’s not necessary that your system is damaged; head not popping up can be the result of debris, mud accumulation, and mechanism issues. If the head will not pop-up, excess pressure will build-up in the pipe and will cause a leak in the pipe. You should not try repairing it yourself and hire sprinkler system repair services.

5)     Sprinkler not rotating properly

Without proper rotation of the sprinkler system, irrigation would not be done right. It will be difficult to water every corner of the land and thus, plants will suffer severely. Improper rotation of the sprinkler system can happen if the system has become old, there is a gunk build-up or a hard object has caught in the mechanism. Whatever is the situation, you will need a repair service for your sprinkler system.

So, if you experience any of these problems, you should arrange a consultation or hire sprinkler system repair services. The service provider should be experienced and well-reputed in the market for the desired result.
