Solving irrigation problems can require you to first identify where the problem is and its symptoms. Look for signs of damage, wear, or excessive water. Your locally owned and operated Mr. Rooter Plumbing can assist with diagnostics and repair.

Performing maintenance on an irrigation system can be integral to it working at its best and possibly even having a longer lifespan. There can be many maintenance tasks required, such as:

1. Regularly check and monitor sprinkler head water pressure
2. Winterize your sprinkler system
3. Clean and adjust sprinkler heads
4. Test and adjust the controller
5. Inspect and maintain valves
6. Check for leaks often
7. Replace worn and damaged parts

Faulty sprinkler heads, blockages, pipe leaks and wear, and bad components like pressure regulators can all cause irrigation systems to fail.

Some problems are certainly more common than others when it comes to crop, lawn, and garden irrigation systems. Call your locally owned and operated Mr. Rooter Plumbing for any of these common commercial irrigation sprinkler problems and others:

• Clogged Sprinkler Heads - Over time, sprinkler heads can become clogged with lawn clippings, dirt, and debris. When this happens, sprinkler heads can stop functioning entirely or experience reduced water flow. Fortunately, regular cleaning and maintenance can often prevent clogs. In a ‘worst case’ scenario, sprinkler head replacement can be required.
• Leaking or Broken Sprinkler Heads - Any number of things can result in a sprinkler head being broken, such as foot traffic, wear and tear, and lawn equipment. As leaks can result in water wastage and higher bills, it’s important to take action quickly. Get into the habit of inspecting sprinkler heads often and replacing any damaged ones. Your local service professional can also help with repairs and replacements.
• Leaking or Damaged Pipes - Freezing temperatures, age, and tree roots are some of the many factors that can cause leaking or damaged pipes connected to your irrigation system. Contact a service professional to locate and repair leaks to ensure your irrigation system is as efficient as it can be.
• Water Pressure Woes - Is your water pressure too high or low for your commercial or industrial sprinkler system? Talk to our experts. They can assist with installing pressure regulators and evaluate your system to identify what might be causing the problem.
• Backflow Issues - An irrigation backflow preventer is a core component of most water irrigation systems. A sprinkler backflow preventer stops contaminated water from entering your main water supply. When they fail, they can present health risks. Always regularly inspect and test your backflow preventers and repair or replace any that are faulty. Your safe water supply depends on it.
• Faulty Valves - Valves within watering and irrigation systems are crucial for controlling water flow to different zones. When they fail, some zones start to receive more or less water than others. As a result, you may notice water pooling in some areas while others are completely dry. Regularly inspect and maintain your valves to ensure your above-ground or in-ground sprinkler system functions at its best.

While it’s easy to see commercial irrigation repairs and maintenance as something else that will cost your business money, there are so many reasons to prioritize it:

• Save Money - Leaks, malfunctioning systems, and broken sprinkler heads can all result in excessive water use. You may be able to save money on your water bill by requesting irrigation system repairs as soon as you notice an abnormal spike in usage.
• Conserve Water - If water is a scarce resource in your area, or you frequently experience water restrictions, receiving a commercial irrigation repair service can be crucial. When your irrigation system is leaking or not operating efficiently, your company may be using more water resources than it needs to be.
• Improved Landscape Health - Malfunctioning business and home sprinkler systems can have a disastrous effect on plant health. Overwatering and underwatering can lead to plants wilting, dying, and going brown. Hiring a service professional to carry out repairs may ensure your plants are restored to total health before long.
• Enhanced Property Appeal and Value - While commercial and industrial sprinkler system maintenance and repairs may not be at the top of your priority list, they may soon become more important to you when you realize they may enhance your property’s appeal and value. If your landscape is well-maintained, it can make a great first impression with customers. You may also ensure your landscape remains an asset to your business rather than a liability.
• Local Regulations Compliance - Many areas have regulations regarding water use, especially in areas susceptible to drought. If your irrigation system isn’t in good working order, your business may be at risk of fines and penalties. Commercial irrigation repair services may assist with ensuring you remain compliant.
• Professional Expertise - Not every business owner or employee has the time or inclination to learn everything there is to know about their lawn irrigation system or drip irrigation system to keep them working at their best. Rest assured, hiring experts in commercial irrigation repair means you don’t have to. You can contact service professionals to take care of any problems that arise. Licensed and insured service professionals can also help with winterizing sprinkler systems and maintaining and installing a sprinkler system.
