Atlanta Irrigation System Repairs

Trying to water a steep hill in your yard with your irrigation system? Try reducing the time and watering more times per day that way your water bill doesn't go up and your lawn has time to absorb the water that is normally running off.

And, does that sprinkler head at the bottom of the hill leak and lose a lot of water? Try replacing it with a head that has a check valve. You could save $$$.

Wet Spots/Dry Spots - Irrigation System

You have an irrigation system right? You notice some really wet spots and some really dry spots. First check coverage and make sure its head to head (meaning on sprinkler head to another) then ask yourself this? Are there variations in sun exposure in that area? If so think about a Smart Controller that allows you to program in shade/sun, soil, plant type, etc. to help with less over watering and watering more efficiently overall.

Irrigation Systems

Today we are starting a 3 zone Hunter irrigation system in Hampton. While the customer had an existing irrigation system it was not in good shape at all and not properly design so it was more cost effective to install a new system rather than repair the old one.

Irrigation System Repairs

A lot of irrigation system repairs are results of work being done in yards....remember free of charge Georgia 811 will mark the public utilities (gas, electric, phone, cable, etc.) to help out on that end but they don't locate private utilities such as irrigation, landscape lighting, etc.

Irrigation System Repairs

Taking care of your irrigation system and irrigation system repairs is like doing maintenance on your car....for the longevity of your irrigation system it is important that you have a qualified, experienced irrigation company make your repairs (and ask about a warranty on the work too).

Irrigation System Atlanta

So you're thinking about a new irrigation system? Remember, warranty on your system is important but it is more important that whomever you choose can back up the warranty. We've gotten a lot of phone calls lately for system repairs where the customers thought they were protected by a warranty and they were given one. Unfortunately, the company and/or people who installed their irrigation system can no longer be found. Time in business and local or community ties seems to be the most indicative of being able to back up a warranty.

Irrigation System Repairs

A lot of people are considering adding on to their irrigation systems this year - keep in mind that adding on to a system can be somewhat difficult and costly UNLESS you asked the installing irrigation contractor to prep your system for future expansion which will save you lots of $$$ in the future.

Keep an eye on your system!

You need to do a regular maintnence check on your irrigation system. If your sprinklers aren't kept in great condition, they could be wasting water as well as having detrimental effects on your lawn!

Here is a sprinkler maintnence checklist:


Sprinkler Maintenance Checklist

Once a month, turn on each valve of your sprinkling system during daylight hours and
perform an inspection. Some automatic timers allow you to set a test run, or you can
program each station to come on successively for one minute. Check the following:




GENERAL MAINTENANCE


-Is any water being sprayed on the street or sidewalk?

-Are there obstructions preventing the water from reaching the desired areas?

-Are there any observable leaks or breaks in the pipe?



SPRINKLER HEADS


Are any heads…

-missing?

-broken?

-clogged?

-pushed too far into the ground?

-tilted or spraying in the wrong direction?





PRESSURE:

Is the pressure…


-too low?

(spray is not reaching all desired areas, spray is forming large water droplets, there are
doughnut shaped dry areas, rotor speed is too slow, rotors are not rotating)



-too high?

(spray is overshooting desired areas, spray is misting and there are dry areas between
heads, rotor speed is too fast, rotors are not rotating, heads are leaking)
