The sprinkler system that you use for your landscaping can be an important part of caring for the plants that you are growing. Unfortunately, a modern sprinkler system can suffer from a number of different failures that may require major repairs to complete.
Not All Sprinkler Clogs Will Require Excavating Your Property
A clog in the sprinkler line can be one of the more routine issues that this system could experience. When a large clog is able to form in these lines, it can lead to the water supply becoming obstructed. Not surprisingly, this will often manifest as a portion of the sprinkler system having extremely low water pressure or it may even completely stop working. While it might seem like this problem will always involve excavating the yard to remove the clog, there are some repair options that might avoid this. For example, tools that can be inserted through the line and will provide the technician with a video feed of the interior of the sprinkler supply line. In the event that a large clog is found, these tools may be able to break through the clog so that the flow of water can be restored. This is generally best suited for clogs that are the result of soil getting into the line, but it may be insufficient if the clog is due to a root intrusion.
The Sprinkler Heads Can Be Especially Vulnerable To Damage
The sprinkler heads can be one of the more vulnerable parts of your sprinkler system. These components can suffer substantial damage when mowing the lawn or even from animal activity. If the sprinkler head suffers structural damage, replacing it will likely be the only option for restoring its functionality. Unfortunately, this is a common outcome of a lawn mower or weed eater striking an extended sprinkler head. However, minor damages may only result in the sprinkler coming out of alignment, and a technician may be able to recalibrate the sprinkler head so that it will spray in the correct direction.
A Leak In The Sprinkler's Supply Lines Can Cause Significant Property Damage
A leak in the sprinkler system's supply lines can be an issue that has the potential to cause widespread property damage if it is not quickly addressed. One of these leaks may be able to spill enough water into the soil to erode it, damage the roots of plants, and even flood entire sections of the yard. Unfortunately, excavation is required to repair these damages, but a professional sprinkler repair service can minimize the amount of digging that is needed by accurately locating the source of the leak.
