Sprinkler System Checklist for Salt Lake City Homebuyers

Purchasing a new home is a stressful experience and the technicians at Sprinkler Master Repair SLC UT want to help relieve some of your stress. Among all the things you have to worry about with a new home is whether or not your sprinkler system works the way it should. We have created a sprinkler system checklist to help Salt Lake home buyers easily notice if there are sprinkler system problems. 

There are 4 main sprinkler system problems that we run into at Sprinkler Master Repair SLC UT. They are; leaky sprinkler pipes, broken sprinkler heads, sprinkler heads that need to be adjusted, and faulty sprinkler zones. 

Sprinkler Leaks

The most common signs that there is a leak in your sprinkler system are puddles of water forming on your lawn or low water pressure to your sprinkler heads. If you see pools of water after running the system or if your sprinklers don’t seem to be spraying as far as they should, there’s a good chance you have a leak. Leaks in your sprinkler line can cost you a lot of money if they aren’t addressed promptly. Call Sprinkler Master Repair SLC UT at 385-226-5764 as soon as you can if you suspect a leak.

Broken Sprinkler Heads

Broken sprinkler heads are usually pretty easy to spot. Often times they look like a geyser, are stuck spraying in only one direction or don’t even pop up at all. Just like leaks, broken sprinkler heads waste water and can become costly if not fixed quickly.

Sprinkler Heads That Need Adjustments

Sometimes all your sprinkler system needs is a little adjustment. If you notice dry spots or if your sprinklers are spraying on the driveway, sidewalk, shed, or any other areas that don’t need watering, give our Salt Lake technicians a call. They can adjust your sprinklers properly.

Faulty Sprinkler Zones

A zone that does not start or stop can involve scheduling, sensors, power, wiring, a valve, or the water supply. The symptom alone does not identify a failed solenoid. Arrange diagnosis before buying replacement parts.
