Your sprinkler system is one of the tools you need to ensure your garden and/or grass stays vibrant and healthy. If your system becomes damaged or faulty, you could experience severe issues in your lawn and landscape. You could also find yourself paying some steep water bills. You need to know how to spot potential problems with your irrigation system so you can get sprinkler repair as soon as possible. And if you find any of these warning signs with your sprinkler system, then prepare to address the issue before it becomes too costly. Look for these common signs that your sprinkler system may be in need of a repair.
If the sprinkler system is malfunctioning, you have a leaky valve, or a sprinkler head is under blockage, you could see inconsistency in watering. This will present itself in the form of standing water in your garden or on your lawn, sidewalks and roads are wet, brown spots, or dry spots in your lawn. These are signs that your system needs a fix.
When you observe your sprinklers in action, make sure you are looking for other important signs that you may need to have some repairs made. A sputtering head is one of those signs. The direction of the sprinkler head's spray can reveal issues. If you find the spray goes away from the intended path, check the water pressure. Low water pressure can be responsible. Sputtering heads can also be a sign of the development of a crack. Also monitor the pop-up heads routinely to ensure that you pot any sputtering heads if they appear.
If you start to notice that the monthly water bill is increasing, but you haven't had an increase in your water usage, then you may need repairs. Leaks and drips can happen without any notice. A minor leak can still lead to a major increase in your bill. Pay attention to your bill and water usage each month.
If you start to experience an increase or decrease in water pressure of your system, it could be caused by a number of reasons. The more common reasons this happens is a blockage in the pipes, and tree roots. If something is restricting the flow of water in the lines of your sprinkler system, you need to get it addressed before you find yourself with a costly bill and major water damage.
Something that you need to keep an eye on is damp spots near the filters and pressure regulators. It could mean an issue with the system. While it is an infrequent occurrence to have a valve drip or leak, you cannot ignore them if they do happen. Inspect for grass clippings, bubbles, mildew, and dirt on the equipment.
