Leaking Sprinkler Heads

If you have a lot of water that makes you think "leaking sprinkler head" - it could be normal drainage, it could be a leak at the head connection point, or some other things. First think I recommend is getting a sprinkler head with a check valve in it which help to prevent about drainage and will save you a little cash too. If that doesn't fix the problem email me at carla@milleniumirrigation.com. There are other solutions too.

Irrigation Leaks

Did you know sometimes an irrigation leak is so small that you may not notice it for weeks? It will eventually rear it's ugly head and sometimes it's in the form of your water bill. If you have a higher than normal water bill. You need to get it checked out. Most water companies will issue you a credit on your water bill provided you can show them proof it's been fixed such as an irrigation repair company invoice.

Irrigation Backflow - Sound alike but are different

Irrigation backflow is not only required but super important. You should be sure that you are getting the highest protection for your family via a double-check backblow prevention device. Dual check backflow prevention devices, while they have similar sounding names, do not afford the highest protection are not meant to be used in toxic prevention situations. Think about it like this to understand the importance...everything seeps into your yard, for example, fertilizer, often ends up in your irrigation water. Do you want that in your drinking water too? Backflow prevention is how you keep that from happening. No mention of backflow by your irrigation company in Atlanta...it's state law.

Irrigation Systems & Backflow Prevention


I haven't blogged about this subject in a while but feel it would be prudent to do so now. As things begin to pick up for new irrigation system installations for the fall, please don't forget about the importance of backflow prevention and the fact that backflow prevention is required by state law. Know the differences between a dual check and double check device and which one affords the most protection for your family. Here's a clue: many communities & counties south of metro Atlanta required and test double check backflow prevention devices.

Irrigation System Repairs McDonough

We were out at an irrigation repair call yesterday in McDonough. The system has been working fine until recently when it developed "water hammer." We were able to reduce some of the water banging around adjusting the flow control on his valves, however, a pressure reducer is in order. With most of the water pressure in Atlanta being so high, it is prudent to pressure reducers in at installation in many cases.

Irrigation System Repairs

Make sure that when you are considering any landscape change to check with your irrigation company so they can direct you how to limit repairs and prepare you for the changes that may need to be made to your irrigation system. Irrigation System Repairs made after the fact and without planning can be more costly because of the difficulty of the repairs due to the new obstacles in the way.

Irrigation Atlanta

As we finish up our one of our new irrigation installation projects, I wanted to remind you guys how important "service AFTER the sale" is. We have some customers who called over the weekend with a newly installed system with a warranty. Their controller is dead for whatever reason. They have called numerous times and no one has called them back. Now they have called us and we are going to try to help them out but it should be done totally free under their warranty. So keep in mind when choosing an irrigation company in Atlanta for your new irrigation system the importance of Service After the Sale.
