Atlanta Irrigation Repair

Repairs to your irrigation system should always be completed in a timely manner. It is important to use an irrigation repair company that is famaliar with and has the experience to fix any system. Lastly, comparable or upgraded equipment from what is existing should always be used. Make sure you ask your irrigation repair technician this question so that you are not paying for repairs that will "lower" the overall quality of your irrigation system.

Atlanta Irrigation Companies

There are 'Irrigation Best Practices' issued by the Irrigation Association. These are the guideslines that all Atlanta irrigation companies should follow as closely as possible when installing or repairing an irrigation system. Many things I blog about come directly from that so it's not my opinion, it's what should be done. Since Georgia doesn't have licensing for Irrigation Contractors, this makes following these recommended practices even more important.

Be sure that your irrigation company get's the public utilities marked by the Utilities Protection Center ("Call Before you Dig, 811") and you should also make sure that any private utilities (gas lines for lights, lighting, dog fences, drain linesm, etc.) are marked for your irrigation installation company. be sure that in the event of damage to the private utilties there is a written contract about who is responsible.

Be sure that when you award an irrigation company in Atlanta your new irrigation system installation that you understand the complete scope of work. Are there any permits required, are those fees included? Is any landscape restoration included, if so what specifically? Things of that nature are very important so that you know exactly what to expect when your new irrigation system is completed.

Irrigation Leaks & Repair Atlanta

After the thaw, we would recommend that if your irrigation system wasn't winterized that you run-thru your irrigation system to see if there are any broken pipes or sprinkler heads. Getting those types of items repaired now will prevent further damage and also get you ahead of things for spring watering and planting.

You, the customer, have the main role is making sure that your irrigation system is working properly. You can do this by simply watching the system run - looking for heads that needs adjusting, areas that seem overly wet or dry, obvious leaks. By taking an active role just visually observing your system, you can help save yourself $$$.

For proper and uniform distribution of watering and to avoid wet/dry spots, the sprinkler heads in your new irrigation system should be properly spaced and reach "head to head" to ensure that you don't have any overly wet or dry spots. Ask your irrigation company if you are not sure about the placement of your new sprinkler heads. Sometimes in unsually shaped areas placement of sprinkler heads do not look correct to the untrained eye. So be sure to ask because sometimes sprinkler nozzles and adjustments are what is planned to ensure "head to head" coverage.
