Repairing Your Property's Sprinkler System
Posted on: 26 May 2022
The installation of a sprinkler system can make caring for your landscaping a significantly easier task for you to do. While sprinkler systems are typically very durable additions to a property, they can malfunction, and this may lead to there needing to be major repair work done to the sprinkler system.
Issues With The Water Pressure The Sprinklers Are Able To Produce
Water pressure issues can have a profound impact on the performance of your sprinkler system. When there are issues with the water pressure in the system, the sprinklers may have their coverage impacted. For example, low water pressure issues could lead to the sprinklers covering a significantly smaller area than you had originally intended. Additionally, it is possible for the water pressure to be too high, which can lead to the sprinklers watering unintended areas. Unfortunately, it can even be possible for a sprinkler system to experience both of these problems simultaneously. An example of this could be an intrusion in the water lines for the sprinkler system. This may drastically reduce the water pressure in the portion of the system that is supplied by the line, and as a result, the pressure in the other areas of the system may rise substantially.
Leaks Forming In Buried Sprinkler Lines
Problems with the water supply lines for a sprinkler system are typically rare, as these lines will be protected by the soil that is covering them. However, it is possible for this part of the sprinkler system to suffer problems. In particular, leaks forming in these lines can be among the more likely problems that you are to experience with this part of your system. Root intrusions, animal damage and accidental punctures are among the more common examples of the threats that the water lines can face. Regardless of the source of the leak, it will have the potential to spill large amounts of water, which could have negative and widespread impacts on the overall health of your landscaping.
Faulty Sprinkler System Controls
Modern sprinkler systems will often have control systems that allow the property owner to utilize a number of practical features. An example of this could be a control system that allows the homeowner to adjust the timing for when the sprinklers activate. Additionally, some of these systems can provide diagnostic information about the system as well, which may include the water pressure levels in the system, the amount of water used, and the length of time the system ran. Luckily, a sprinkler repair technician will be able to assist you with ordering a replacement control panel and completing its installation.
