drainage and guttersWelcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We like to provide our online readers with news, tips and advice concerning sprinkler irrigation here in Orlando and Central Florida.

Today we would like to discuss the importance of a well-functioning drainage system as these hot and humid summer months bear down on us all over the nation.

With the recent increased temperatures, precipitation and humidity here in Central Florida and around the country, a properly functioning drainage system is essential for this time of year.

More moisture means increased amounts of water cycling around the atmosphere and more rain than usual during these muggy summer months. More rain equals greater demand on what should be an efficient drainage system.

A well-functioning drainage system should be free-flowing and clear of debris. It should be checked for breaks and cracks in the pipes and lines. There should be no standing water or puddles that form from poor drainage.

Flooding and water intrusion can go on to cause more serious issues such as water damage to the home, wood rot and mold and mildew. The intention is to halt irrigation leakage problems at the root, to avoid water leaks entirely.

A properly installed drainage system could help you avoid property damage and health risks by moving water away from your home. Installing an efficient drainage system to prevent water damage is less costly than repairing the water damage itself, and could prove to prevent further problems from occuring in the future.
