Common Irrigation System Repairs
Addressing repairs early keeps small issues small and can prevent more expensive fixes down the line. We'll inspect your entire irrigation system to pinpoint the problem and repair any issues that day!. Some possible causes for sprinkler system failure include:
Broken or Punctured Irrigation Lines
Underground pipes distribute water to your entire system, and a lot can happen underground! risers, which connect to sprinkler heads above your lawn's surface. Harsh weather conditions like drought or extreme cold can cause the ground to shift, resulting in underground leaks. Or you might accidentally hit a pipe while digging.
Malfunctioning Control Valves
Each zone in your system has a valve that controls the flow of water to that area. When those valves fail, they will either stop turning on or refuse to turn off. If they are leaking, it can cause the pressure to drop for that whole area and contribute to a large amount of water waste.
Busted Sprinkler Heads
This is what we see the most of! Lawnmowers hit them, weed whackers clip them, and cars run over them...
Controller Issues
Every sprinkler system has a controller that automates the watering. Lightning strikes, power surges and age of your controller may cause it to fail This can lead to your system not coming on or watering outside of its set times.
FAQ
At Heartland Sprinkler, we get a lot of inquiries about sprinkler system repair, and we're always happy to answer questions. Here are some of the most common questions we receive:
How long should an irrigation system last?
Each component of your system has a different life span, but regular inspections and winterizing can help extend the life of your system. Heartland Sprinklers can help with both.
What causes irrigation problems?
It's true that poorly installed irrigation systems can cause problems, but even the best installs aren't immune from the effects of regular wear and tear, equipment failure, settling soil, and extreme cold. Routine maintenance and repairs, while issues are still small, help systems last longer.
Can you fix an irrigation system?
Short answer: Yes! Minor problems such as controller issues, valve malfunctions, and broken sprinkler heads are easily repaired. When more serious issues are present, such as swimming pool installations, a redesign might be the best option. Our technicians have seen (and repaired) it all!
Why do irrigation systems fail?
Because they are working hard! Just like your air conditioner, your car, or your water heater, these parts are mechanical. When used often (or not at all), they will eventually show signs of wear.
