Welcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We normally do not encourage homeowners to tackle their irrigation and sprinkler problems without professional help, but there are some situations to take action. Today, we would like our online readers to review these general sprinkler and irrigation tips and advice.
Emergencies occur, and there isn’t always a trained professional by your side. That is why it is important to know a few things to be prepared when disaster strikes. Generally, the crew who installs your irrigation system will make the complicated decisions, but the homeowner has options and actions to take for any problems encountered.
For a properly running sprinkler irrigation system, keep the rotors cleared of any branches, grass or brush. The water can only help your lawn, plants, flowers and trees if everything runs in harmony.
Keep an eye out for brown patches in your lawn. Brown patches do not necessarily mean underwatering, but in some cases, are caused by overwatering as well.
Should you notice serious leaks anywhere throughout your irrigation system, turn off the water at the closest point before the leak. Contact a professional to then locate and fix the problem promptly.
Avoid allowing areas of your lawn to collect water or flood. Standing water causes home damage, and we have the tools and equipment to troubleshoot this type of problem. Should flooding occur, be sure to set watering timers shorter.
Become familiar with the parts of your irrigation system and what they do. When a problems occurs, you can better deal with it by understanding how sprinkler systems work.
