Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for Home Sprinkler System Repair

While the best sprinkler systems and drip irrigation systems on the market are designed to provide years of reliable service, that doesn’t mean they’re flawless. Repairs and maintenance can be required over their serviceable lives so they can offer the faithful service you expect.

Here are the most common problems that homeowners can encounter with their residential sprinkler systems:

Sprinkler head issues are certainly among the most commonly experienced by homeowners. Sprinkler heads not rotating, sprinkler heads leaking, and sprinkler heads that have been damaged by foot traffic, pets, and lawnmowers are just a few of the many common problems. Sometimes, sprinkler heads are just out of adjustment, or they become clogged with debris.

Clearing blockages, performing thorough cleaning, and replacing sprinkler heads are some of the most common solutions for these problems.

Sprinkler controllers are helpful for watering your lawns and gardens at a specific time on a set schedule. However, controllers can stop working for many reasons. They may fail to keep time, won’t operate in auto or manual mode, or simply won’t function as they should. Now might be the right time to contact a service professional for help so you can get back to watering on your preferred timeline.

Pipes, valves, and connectors can wear out over time, resulting in leaks. Before long, you may notice poor performance, reduced water pressure, and even property damage. If you suspect a pipe or valve leak, seek professional help to limit water loss and damage to your plants and property.

Have you noticed that your home irrigation system’s water pressure is too high or low? This is a common problem that many homeowners encounter. Water pressure that is too high or low can cause your water irrigation system to perform poorly by not covering an area adequately or overwatering it.

Alongside checking for blockages and leaks, your local irrigation system experts may recommend installing a pressure regulator.

A sprinkler backflow preventer can stop contaminated water from entering your home’s drinking water supply. When it’s not working at its best, it can stop performing this critical task. Make it a routine to regularly test and maintain your backflow prevention device. If you’ve noticed any problems, contact a sprinkler system repairs provider.

Winterizing sprinkler system units is integral to maintaining their condition over the coldest months of the year. If you don’t prioritize winterization, your sprinkler system can experience frozen pipes and significant damage.

Get into the habit of winterizing your irrigation system every year. A trained professional can handle this task. However, you can also learn how to winterize sprinkler system units with these helpful tips:

1. Shut off the water supply
2. Drain the water (automatically, manually, or with the blow-out method using an air compressor)
3. Insulate any exposed components, such as the backflow preventer and any above-ground pipes and valves
4. Cover exposed equipment
