New Irrigation System

This is an excellent time of year to get your new irrigation system installed. If you've been thinking about getting an irrigation system, fall is a great time to do so that your yard is ready for next spring. Ask to make sure your irrigation company is complying with state regulations (backflow prevention & rain sensor) and about warranties.

Irrigation Pumps

It takes a great deal of expertise as I've said before to repair an irrigation system but whether your considering installing an irrigation pump system or need one repaired, you need an irrigation company with the knowledge to handle your problem. Ask the important questions to see if the irrigation company knows about pumps, but not all irrigation companies are created equal.

Water Sense - Heard of it?

Water sense is a program of the EPA set up to encourage overall more efficient water-related practices. Since we know 58% of water usage goes towards landscape irrigation then we know that effecient irrigation practices is a HUGE part of the water sense program. Water sense also includes toliets and those little water wasters we never think about.

Prepare for Spring - Fall is excellent time of year to install a new irrigation system


No doubt about it...we got a sneak peek at fall and this is most definitely the time of year to install your new irrigation system so that you are ready come spring time.
Just remember the state does not regulate the irrigation or lawn sprinkler industry to chose a reputable company that can back their warranty and will meet or exceed the state requirements of a rain sensor and backflow prevention.

Proper Irrigation Wiring

We had to re-wire an entire irrigation system put in by a builder that used improper wiring for the whole system. Fortunately, it was a large irrigation system so it wasn't expensive for the new homeowner. I've seen many things in my years but telephone wire for irrigation wire is a first. I'm sure there was a logic but we believe at Millenium Irrigation that you do things the right way not the half way.

It's time to start thinking about irrigation maintenance agreements!

With the cooler temps we've seen of late, many of us are getting a taste of the beautiful Georgia fall that is coming. Now is the time to consider getting an irrigation maintenance agreement where for a flat annual fee your irrigation system will be shut-down properly and started up properly as well as check on for any issues. If you've never considered an irrigation maintenance agreement, there's no time like to present...like changing the oil in your car...it will give your irrigation system more longevity.

Irrigation Repair McDonough - Irrigation System Leaks


Another situation that is just so crazy we have to share it with you. Our customer has an irrigation system in McDonough. When it was installed it was installed without a separate irrigation shut. So the's having a pool put it...they hit one of the irrigation lines and it springs an irrigation system leak - A Big leak. They have to shut all of the water off completely to the house to just turn off the irrigation leak itself. Our customer was not very happy living without water until the pool people repair it - and guess what - it happened again. We came out and properly repaired it.

Irrigation System Repairs


We are often asked "if one of my valves is bad aren't the others soon to follow?" Well, on an older system with all the same valves it is quite possible but not absolute. With newer systems, there is no way to tell whether or not just because one irrigation valve went bad another one will follow suit. I've seen valves last fifteen years or more. So the answer is one of those unsures.

Irrigation System Installation Companies


When getting your quotes for your new irrigation system be sure to ask your irrigation contractor about what products they are using and why. Ask about any special features those products have, how they benefit you and for any written information on those products. Make sure any irrigation contractor you use knows all about the products they want to put in your yard to be sure you're getting the very best you can get.
