Sprinkler System Repair
Sprinkler systems offer homeowners a fantastic way to keep yards green and healthy throughout the year. Still, they may require repairs over time, such as leaky pipes, damaged sprinkler heads and valves, or broken irrigation wires.
Outdoor Legacy is an experienced sprinkler repair company that can assist in repairing or replacing parts to ensure your sprinkler system works correctly.
Signs that a sprinkler isn’t working. A sprinkler could include:
- Strange noises from the head.
- Wetter or drier area(s) in your yard.
- Uneven water coverage between zones.
A broken valve could be to blame, or more complex solutions might include installing new zone valve(s) or controller.
Sprinkler valves are generally plastic parts used to direct water to individual sprinklers. They may be installed above or underground and grouped into a central valve assembly or manifold for easy maintenance and servicing. When one of these valves fails, an unequal water distribution could result in drought-like conditions in certain places while it causes flooding elsewhere; most common signs include leaks, low-pressure levels, and discoloration or corrosion on its body.
Sprinkler heads can become worn out over time and damaged by debris or hit by lawnmowers, vehicles, or snow blowers. A non-functioning sprinkler head that leaks can waste water, causing higher water bills and costly damage to lawns and landscapes. Check the head’s stem and top for signs of cracks or debris – these could indicate that it needs either cleaning or replacement entirely.
Irrigation lines can become cracked or broken from wear-and-tear, root intrusion, or incorrect installation. A leak or broken line wastes water, allowing even small amounts to escape through the pipe into your yard. An Outdoor Legacy technician can locate damaged sections by shutting off your system and digging a trench around them; once found, they will cut away damaged pipe before inserting new couplings at both ends and tightening them to repair your sprinkler system.
Backflow prevention devices are connected to a home’s main water line to ensure that the water entering the household remains pure. Suppose a backflow prevention device malfunctions, fertilizers or common chemicals could enter the drinking water source. In most cases, when not adequately winterized in the fall (September to October), a backflow preventer can become damaged. Outdoor Legacy can help identify the issues and repair or replace backflow prevention devices if necessary.
