Springtime in the San Antonio area is lovely: the bluebonnets, buttercups, and prairie-fire are in bloom; the weather is temperate, and your lawn sprinkler system probably doesn’t need to be run yet.
For that reason, springtime is the absolute best time to give your lawn sprinkler system a check up to not only ensure that it is running efficiently, but to prevent future problems which can lead to costly repairs.
Hiring a licensed professional irrigation company like Bexar Irrigation to inspect your lawn sprinkler system this spring means that you can rest easy knowing that there are no hidden issues.
Spring Maintenance for your Lawn Sprinkler System
The Bexar Irrigation Spring Maintenance Check Up includes the following:
We check the backflow prevention assembly for any obvious damage such as cracks, broken ball valves, leaks, or a warped body which will cause the internal parts to stop working correctly. An underground assembly might have water in its box which will require us to determine the source of that water. Repairs and subsequent testing may be recommended.
We’ll clear any dirt and debris from the controllers and check the back-up battery. It might be time to change the back-up battery, which should be replaced about every six months.
We make sure the rain sensor is working, correctly positioned, and clear of any dead bugs or leaves inside the housing. We look for misshapen or moldy discs which should be replaced.
We check the valve boxes for standing water, cracks, and broken or loose wiring and locate the isolation valve to make sure it has not seized up.
We inspect all sprinkler heads for overgrown grass, rocks, dirt or mulch which may obstruct them and block sprinkler water flow. We’ll note any broken or cracked sprinkler heads that need replaced and we will straighten leaning sprinkler heads and make sure they are at the correct angle.
We check the drip irrigation system to ensure that it works properly.
