Top Signs Your Irrigation System Needs Repair in 2024
Failing to recognize a broken irrigation system can become a nightmare. After all, when there are broken sprinklers and pipes, your water bill will skyrocket. Plus, all that water is going to be wasted. Then there's a mess to think about. Fortunately, there are noticeable signs to pay attention to.
The following are signs you need irrigation system repair:
Leaks: Water leaks need immediate attention. Contact us at the first sign of any leak.
A sudden increase in your water bill: Cracked or broken sprinkler pipes and broken sprinkler heads can cause leaks and an increase in your water bill. A hole in a drip irrigation line, faulty irrigation valve, or maladjusted time controller settings can also lead to high water bills.
There is too much water in the valve boxes: Each zone within a sprinkler system has a valve box in the landscape. If you've noticed excess water on the valve box, there may be a leak, faulty irrigation valve, broken pipes, or another issue.
Low water pressure: If you've noticed low water pressure coming from your irrigation system, there could be a leak somewhere in the system.
Low water pressure is related to:
-
-
-
- Leaky sprinkler pipes or heads
- Leaky irrigation valves
- Leaks in the water main
- Holes in the drip system
- Damaged irrigation valve
- Broken pressure regulator

Dry, yellow, or brown patches on the lawn: Brown patches of grass typically mean the lawn isn't getting enough water. Yellow patches usually indicate that the lawn receives too much water, possibly from a leak.
Specific irrigation zones aren't starting up: Many irrigation issues are caused by clogged, worn-out, or damaged components. However, electrical hiccups can also create zone-specific problems which may require recalibration.
