Irrigation System Repair in Montgomery, AL

But let’s say you already have an irrigation system installed and are not happy with its performance. The Grounds Guys of Montgomery are experts at irrigation system repair to ensure your system operates as it should.

Some of the most common problems repair solutions solve include:

  • Water is pooling: If you see puddles around one or more irrigation heads, you probably have a leak. Watch for any unusual increase in utility bills, as repairing this issue can help lower high water bills.
  • Dry patches in your lawn: This is a sign that your irrigation is not spraying evenly. A damaged irrigation head or a blockage could cause it.
  • Pressure too high or low: If your irrigation heads are overshooting the spray or spraying too short, you probably have a pressure problem. Tree roots infiltrating the system could also be a cause.
  • Sputtering heads: This is a common problem that is often caused by a blockage in the irrigation head or low system pressure.
  • Dripping valves: The valve’s job is to deliver the proper amount of water to each region of your landscape. Drops and leaks will cause inefficient watering.

Do automatic irrigation systems use more water?

No! These systems use less water than manual watering with a hose.

Are lawn irrigations just as effective as watering by hand?

An irrigation system is much more effective as it targets areas that you specifically position it for. It also saves you the effort and time needed to walk around your property watering by hand.

Do irrigation systems require a lot of maintenance?

An efficient irrigation system will allow your lawn to look its best. If your current system is not well-designed or in a bad state of repair, your property’s landscaping may not get the proper water distribution it needs.

Irrigation systems require maintenance from time to time, and your local Grounds Guys expert will help you determine whether or how often your irrigation system needs maintenance solutions.

How long does it take to install an irrigation system?

The installation time depends on the size and contour of your landscape. Contact our team today to schedule an estimate!
