Atlanta Irrigation Repair

With there being so little rain, I am receiving many calls regarding noticeable brown spots in yards. The reason for this is that the system was not designed and installed with full coverage. For this reason, there are limitations to what an irrigation company can do but moving heads, changing heads, nozzles, etc. can often times rectify the water coverage issues.

It is important that your irrigation repair technician has some knowledge of the turf and plants you wish to you water with your lawn sprinkler system. The reason for this is so that if you are not using an ET based automatic controller, like Rainbird's ESP-SMT, proper watering times can be set. Did you know over 70% of people OVERwater there landscape?

I've had many calls lately from customers who really want a new irrigation system but want to "side step" to get the system in their budget. By "side step" I mean saying "can we skip the rain sensor?" "Do I really need a doublecheck backflow preventor?" "Can I buy the parts to save money?" All really good questions or concerns but the state requires backflow prevention and a rain sensor. Do you need a double check backflow preventor - yes. A dual check, while much cheaper, is not meant to be used in a potentially toxic situation (i.e., fertilizer backflow) and is not testable. Rain Sensor - yes - the state requires it - period. Sure you can also buy the parts but there are warranty issues with that which a contractor will not be able to help you with. A properly designed and installed irrigation system with proper components will ensure you a healthy landscape and save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Don't skimp - you'll pay for it later.

Ask for sprinkler heads with check valves in them. Why? They prevent water from draining out of the system at the lowest sprinkler which eliminates erosion and runoff. Not to mention, they help keep a little more water in your irrigation lines which therefore saves you $$$$.

Doing lawn sprinkler repairs & installations, I immediately realize the importance of word of mouth. It used to be check the BBB & then you picked your contractor. With the Internet, it is much easier to check up on companies using services such as Angie's List, RatePoint, Kudzu, etc. How your neighbors, friends or co-worker were treated by an irrigation contractor should be one of the most important factors to help you pick an irrigation company for your new irrigation system or service. This & of course, knowledge if rules, regulations and efficient water usage.
