3 Most Common Sprinkler Issues
Sprinkler repair is a crucial service provided by professionals in the irrigation industry that ensures the optimal functioning and longevity of watering systems. These experts possess a comprehensive understanding of various components such as valves, pipes, timers, and nozzles, allowing them to diagnose and rectify any issues promptly. Their expertise extends beyond simple repairs; they are skilled in conducting thorough inspections to identify hidden problems that may impact the overall efficiency of the system.
Here are some of the sprinkler issues that you may encounter:
Broken Heads
Broken heads are typically one of the most obvious faults, and if they are not corrected as soon as possible, they can cause a significant amount of water loss. Broken heads can have anything from a little crack in the plastic body (which may have been caused by a lawn mower running over it one too many times) to a geyser-forming break. In either scenario, water will gather around the head, preventing it from reaching the location it was supposed to go. Therefore, in addition to causing water loss, a damaged head will prohibit your lawn from receiving the amount of water it requires.
Poor Water Pressure
One of the primary contributors to insufficient lawn covering is having a water pressure that is too low. Common causes of low water pressure include obstructions, malfunctioning devices, broken pipes, and problems with the system’s back end. The good news is that the problem is usually easy to fix. It is also possible that the problem is the result of an inadequately built system for the existing operating pressure. To our great relief, this is also one of the most common reasons for inadequate coverage.
Pump Buzzing
Another potentially catastrophic issue is a humming pump. It is a red flag that there is anything wrong with the relay system of your sprinkler, which is a magnetic switch that turns on the system. This problem will be easily identifiable by a buzzing sound that is similar to static. Because a malfunctioning relay will cause an inactive sprinkler head, you should give us a call as soon as you hear the buzzing start up so that we can troubleshoot the problem.
