A sprinkler/irrigation system is a convenient and efficient way to keep your lawns and gardens healthy and lush. However, without regular maintenance by a professional, your irrigation system can become a significant source of costly issues. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top five most costly issues you can experience with your sprinkler/irrigation system when you don’t have it serviced regularly by Greg Tanzer Sprinklers.
Clogged Sprinkler Heads:
When your sprinkler heads become clogged with dirt, debris, and grass clippings, it can interrupt the water flow, leading to uneven watering and ultimately, a dying lawn. A professional maintenance service will check and clean sprinkler heads, ensuring consistent coverage and water distribution.
Leaking Pipes:
A broken or leaking pipe can wreak havoc on your property. Not only can it raise your water bill, but it can also create a muddy mess in your lawn and soil erosion. Regular maintenance will help detect leaks and prevent pipes from bursting, saving you money on costly repair bills.
Overspray:
Overspray occurs when the sprinkler system emits water beyond its intended boundaries, leading to water waste and a spike in your water bill. A professional can adjust the sprinkler heads and ensure each one is tossing water only to the intended area.
Non-Working Backflow Preventer:
Backflow preventers prevent the irrigation system’s water from flowing back into your home’s clean water supply, preventing contamination. Without proper maintenance, backflow preventers can malfunction, leading to cross-contamination and health risks. A professional can ensure that your backflow preventer is in good working order, preventing any potential health risks.
