Preventing Unnecessary Water Accumulation

flooded sidewalkThank you for visiting the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We like to provide our online readers with news, tips and advice concerning irrigation and drainage. Today we would like to offer some tips on preventing unnecessary water accumulation.

A common cause of water accumulation around the home’s foundation is undetected broken pipes. Flooding can occur when pipes are cracked by whatever the reason.

One usual occurrence which causes breaking water pipes is root intrusion. Root intrusion is where tree roots grow to the point that they interfere with water pipes, bend them and eventually break them.

Catch broken pipes as soon as possible. Nip it in the bud because a stitch in time saves nine. Flooding around the base of your home causes water damage and eventually settling, cracking, wood rot, mold and mildew can occur. Catching the problem before it becomes a major issue is key to avoiding much unnecessary expense.

Since a clogged drainage system can be the cause of flooding, it is important to keep these areas clear of debris. Our professionals are trained to detect and solve your irrigation and drainage problems quickly and easily.

Overspray from your sprinkler heads can cause puddles to form around your sidewalks. When your irrigation system is installed, the professional doing the job should check there is no overspray to cause problems with water accumulation on the sidewalk, otherwise adjustments may have to be made.
