When an Orlando customer called us to inspect this irrigation system, it was in a poor state needing repair. The landscaping was dying due to poor condition of the existing irrigation system. Brown spots formed because the sprinklers did not cover the area evenly and were missing spots.

We refurbished the irrigation system by replacing any broken or leaking sprinkler heads, then we added and moved the sprinkler heads as appropriate to provide proper coverage. Respacing all of the sprinkler heads allows a better coverage of the landscape.

The result is a more effecient sprinkler system with correct head to head coverage in order to support the turf and landscaping.

Contact us today for an estimate to refurbish the sprinkler heads and irrigation system for your Orlando area home or business. If you have brown patches in your lawn, you may want to consider refurbishing your existing irrigation system before it is too late.

Commercial Irrigation Sprinkler System Maintenace

At first glance an irrigation lawn sprinkler system may appear to be a fairly simple means of moving water from point A to point B & designed to everything in between wet. We can’t see the labyrinth of mainline, lateral pipes, wires & valves beneath the ground.

These combined components, when installed & maintained correctly, will provide maximum efficiency from water source whilst enhancing the beauty & value of the property.

Having a working understanding of the hydraulics involved within an irrigation system is critical in order to maintain the system’s maximum efficiency.

Irrigation sprinkler systems are subject to occassional breaks & malfunctions. Things such as a semi truck that can’t quite make a tight turn or a lawn crew that operates at over 100 mph can cause damage to our commercial irrigation sprinkler system. Then of course we have the forces of nature that unleash massive lighting strikes upon our electrical systems that are at your Orlando or Central Florida business. These type of problems, to mention but a few, can cause extensive damage & expenses for our commercial irrigation sprinkler system.

Unfortunately, a licencsed irrigation contractor, skilled & knowledgable about the art & form of an irrigation sprinkler system cannot stand guard over your system 24 hours a day. However, they are able to be creative about redesigning vulnerable areas of the system without affecting the hydraulic dynamics of the system.

If we consider irrigation sprinkler system maintenance from the perspective of a managing agent responsible for the upkeep of a community association. Today your over worked maintenance personnel have a whole list of repairs to complete including broken a/c units, clogged drains, a broken ice maker & a broken sprinkler head. I bet the broken sprinkler heads is bottom of the list. Short term a broken sprinkler head may just cause a wash out but may have the most costly consequence.

That initial wash out may turn into a hole, creating a hazard. It will create a low pressure situation on the zone which will cause insufficient coverage which will create problems for your turf or landscaping. It may even create a shutdown situation if you have pressure sensors installed. Improper product & brand replacement will cause long term problems. When an irrigation system is designed it’s water demand is either equal to or less than it’s water supply capacity. When installed, all rotors or spray heads are installed on like zones to provide a matched precipitation rate. Over a period of time the inexperienced irrigation sprinkler repair person can replace heads with other brands or types which will cause an imbalance within the irrigation system’s hydraulics.

It is important that irrigation contractors should maintain commercial sprinkler systems. Choosing the right professional will actually save you money over the long term. The professional irrigation contractor will have the knowledge, resources & equipment on hand to enable them to do any job right the first time.

By establishing a regular irrigation sprinkler system maintenance program & an emergency procedure for those occasional breaks that can’t be predicted, you can reduce your liabilities by consigning the responsability of your commercial irrigation system to a lincensed irrigation contractor.

If after reading this post you can understand that irrigation contractors should maintain commercial sprinkler systems at your place of business within the Orlando or Central Florida area you can contact us on 407-302-2227  for more information regarding our professional irrigation sprinkler system maintenance contracts.

This conversion to an automatic irrigation system works with residential standard electric sprinkler timers to give homeowners freedom to set watering schedules without being near the home.

These photos show the removal of an existing cycler system and atmospheric vacuum breaker valve. For this particular project the service technician installed Rain Bird DV100SS type electric valves and a reduced pressure zone type backflow assembly.

This manual to automatic irrigation system replacement was necessary because the cycler was malfunctioning and not running individual zones as required in the run cycle. Automatic electric valves and a reduce pressure zone type backflow assembly were installed to comply with local code regulations.

Converting from a cycler system to an automatic irrigation system provides more accurate scheduling and added reliability of this customer’s irrigation system. In addition the new backflow assembly prevents contamination of the water supply into the home.

The problem was that the homeowner did not have the time to hand water the turf in his yard. The plan was to install an automatic irrigation system to provide automated water scheduling with a battery timer, as no power for the regular controller was available.

That solves the time and money problem of hand watering required as the irrigation system is automatically scheduled and supports the landscape and turf without the homeowner needing to be home.

Hessenauer offers our customers quality service and only the best products for both residential and commercial installations and repairs here in the Central Florida, Orlando area.

Contact us today to have an automatic irrigation sprinkler system installed in for your business, your landscaping, or your yard. Feel free to call us for an estimate at 407-302-2227 or for a quick reply.

This is an example of the damage that even small roots can cause to an irrigation system. The unseen roots can crush pipes slowly over a long period of growth and create low pressure and poor flow situations. Notice how the pipe went between the sections of tree roots and were crushed by the growing roots. As the roots grow wider, any irrigation pipes in between could get pinched off completely.

To control the problem, the tree roots need to be removed by being cut into sections then carefully extracted. Once the portions of pipe are taken out and replaced, they may have to be repositioned to avoid any remaining tree roots. The finished sprinkler system repair project solved the loss in pressure, and the happy customer has a quality solution to tree root damage.

Battery Operated Irrigation Controllers For Orlando

Battery operated irrigation controllers for Orlando & Central Florida areas can play an important role within the irrigation sprinkler system installed at your home or business. The reason for the installation of a battery operated irrigation controller is because no main’s power is available to operate a regular 110 volt controller or there is a difficult to solve field wiring issue within an existing system.

These irrigation controllers can be wired directly to the valve solenoid. If a field wiring issue does occur this can be viewed as a quick fix temporary solution until the wiring issue can be repaired correctly. Alternatively, these battery operated irrigation controllers for Orlando & Central Florida areas can be installed if there is no electrical supply available at your home or business.

These controllers have more basic functions than a regular 110 volt controller. But functions such as setting individual days of the week, multiple start times & zone run times are all standard features which makes them suitable for both commercial & residential applications. With the introduction of Florida State statute 373.62 ammended they all now have the ability to connect a rain sensor shut off device.

If you would like more information regarding battery operated irrigation controllers for Orlando & Central Florida home or business locations you can call us on 407-302-2227 for more information.
