The Consequences of Neglecting the Need for Proper Lawn Sprinkler Repair
No matter how well your lawn sprinkler system is functioning, it is always important to regularly inspect your sprinklers for signs of damage and wear and tear. Neglecting to properly maintain your lawn sprinkler system could lead to a number of costly risks. As opposed to properly maintaining your system, more often than not, it is more expensive to fix any damages due to a lack of regular maintenance and inspection. Before your next lawn sprinkler repair session, it’s important to be aware of the following risks and dangers:
Erosion
One of the most common problems of failing to properly maintain your sprinkler systems is erosion. If your sprinkler system isn’t delivering an even stream of water, water could be running off to places you do not want them to go. In some cases, erosive action can cause your landscape to begin to wash away and form gullies. If left unattended, gullies can become steep and deep, lasting for a long period of time.
Inefficient Water Distribution
Another common problem resulting from a poorly maintained sprinkler system is the improper distribution of water. This includes water being released in the wrong direction, or the water pressure being too high causing some areas of the lawn to be over-watered. This can lead to an abundance of growth in certain areas, which can cause an uneven look to the lawn and weaken the root zone in other areas.
Accumulation of Debris
Neglecting to inspect your sprinkler system regularly can also lead to a buildup of debris. When debris accumulates, it can lead to clogged nozzles and broken pipes, both of which can break down your lawn significantly and lead to different repair costs.
Premature Replacement
Finally, not regularly inspecting and repairing your lawn sprinkler system can lead to an overall decrease in its lifespan. Regular maintenance can help ensure a long-term, reliable seamless use of the system. Without regular maintenance, your lawn sprinkler system may need to be replaced far sooner than expected.
