Prevent Costly Sprinkler Repairs And Landscape Damage

The spring season is in full swing with the sprinkler systems being turned on and landscapes being cleaned up. This winter was brutal to both and many sprinkler repairs are required in order to have the system up and running for the season. The Rain Rich Team often finds many repairs completed by others that were done incorrectly. Although, many sprinkler repairs are relatively simple and straightforward, there are many subtle details that other sprinkler companies miss. These include:

1. Failure to replace item with equal or better part.
2. Install part correctly.   E.g. sprinkler head should be level with surface and not sticking above.
3. Clean and flush system of dirt, rocks, and debris after the repair.
4. Test and adjust equipment after the repair.
5. Survey remaining system for related problems.

The challenging part to complete these repairs is to clean and flush the zone or piping and to remove debris.  Leaving debris in the line will eventually clog the system causing failure or dirt getting into sprinkler heads causing sprinkler head failure and more repair.  When clients call us for sprinkler head failure we look for debris in the sprinkler head and or clogged nozzles. Making these repairs properly is the key to having a properly working system during the hot summer months and to longevity of the system.
