Drip Irrigation Repair For Leakages

By Martha Hill


Nowadays it's well known that an irrigation company can do many things for people such as, planning and installing an irrigation system, however, do we realize what exactly we can get from them? What exactly are the after sales services we are entitled to? Well, simply you will find loads of providers, but there are some specific Drip irrigation repair that they should have the ability to do.

Sprinkler and watering drip systems are one of the most effective ways of having your lawn properly watered. Many owners of homes and business premises choose a sprinkler system that they can set and forget. As with any sprinkler system, there are moments when you'll have to have it examined and if needed, have some sprinkler watering done.

It's an efficient watering system but has its drawbacks too. The main one is that over time it gets damaged by the heat, sun, and cold weather. It is also easy for small animals such as rabbits and ground squirrels to chew through. And, this time of year, the animals are thirsty and trying to get water any way they can. An easy way is for them to dig up a poly line and chew through it. This creates a leak.

Trickle watering leaks can run undetected for long periods of time since the poly line is buried underground. You may only see a small damp spot on the soil when there is a larger leak below ground. Also, the trickle line runs between and sometimes under plantings and may go unnoticed because a leak is a shrub. Mulch and rock can also hide a trickle watering leak.

Leaving a broken sprinkler to inadequately water your lawn is opening it up for dry patches, mismatched colors and a whole lot of extra money spent on water that is just leaking through the sprinkler because it needs some sprinkler watering done.

Now, if we take a look at after sales care, that will depend upon the arrangement that you have with your watering company - right now there is no uniformity when it comes to after sales. In fact, in my view, after sales support is one of the determining factors for me when selecting a company that will help me with the watering needs of my lawn and garden.

Newer, more durable poly line material is now available. This reduces leaks because it is more resistant to animal damage and the elements. Emitters have also been improved. The newer ones last longer and stay attached to poly and spaghetti lines better.

In addition, examine the warranty for any potential problems with things that you're doing to your watering system - that is, make sure that there's not something that's prohibited by the warranty deal which you commonly do with your watering systems, which could potentially void your warranty very early on.
