Sometimes these winter months just seem to never end, and if you’re anything like us, you are just itching to get started on spring activities. The start-up of your irrigation system is one of the most important services performed. During this process, all aspects of the sprinkler system are tested, adjusted, and programmed for the desired result. This inspection process ensures that the system is running smoothly and effectively. But the work doesn’t end there!
It is a common misconception that lawn sprinklers are a “set it and forget it” tool. Systems should be checked regularly throughout the season, by a qualified technician who has been trained to look for inadequacies in a complex design. By staying on top of your system throughout the season it will elevate the efficiency of your system and watering schedules which will deliver homeowners with their desired end result.
A sprinkler system is an extension of your plumbing utilities, plain and simple. A qualified sprinkler company should have an extensive comprehension of plumbing AND irrigation implementation. It has become common practice nowadays for companies to be lacking knowledge in these areas, resulting in poor designs and installation practices. This leaves the homeowner with a system that underperforms, ultimately costing the homeowner thousands of dollars each season in undesirable results. Here are a few of the most common outcomes homeowners can expect when installing a sub-standard system:
- Incorrect placement of sprinkler heads can lead to gaps in coverage, allowing plants in untargeted areas to die and constantly require replacement.
- Incorrect placement of sprinkler heads force homeowners to increase watering times in an attempt to increase water to lacking areas, causing overwatering in other areas. Overwatering will drown root structures and cause plant material to die, ultimately requiring replacement.
- Mismanaged watering schedules can result in extremely high water and sewer bills each quarter.
