Sprinkler systems are supposed to make maintaining your lawn easy, convenient, and relatively affordable. But if yours isn’t working, it can instead be a source of stress. Even worse, if left unaddressed, it can cause dry or wet patches of grass, shallow roots, insect infestations, and other kinds of damage that can be frustrating (and expensive) to fix.
To prevent potentially irreparable damage and keep your lawn healthy, it’s important to have a broken sprinkler repaired immediately. Contact SoCal Sprinklers for fast, reliable, and fairly priced sprinkler repair services in Costa Mesa.
Common Signs Your Sprinklers Aren’t Working Properly
It can be hard to spot issues with your sprinklers if you don’t have the proper tools and training. Worse still, some sprinkler system components can be underground and difficult to access and examine, making DIY diagnostics and repair even more challenging.
Fortunately, there are a few tell-tale signs that any homeowner can – and should – look out for:
- Some areas of your lawn are significantly wetter or drier than others.
- You can see visible damage on your sprinklers, such as frayed wires or bent metal components.
- Water pools around your sprinkler heads and other system components, seeping out into your porch, sidewalk, or home.
- The sprinkler heads are spraying weakly, inconsistently, or not at all.
- The control panel or sprinklers emit strange noises such as buzzing and hissing.
- Your controller displays error codes or messages, which could be a sign of electrical or software issues.
- The system doesn’t turn on or off according to its programmed schedule.
- Sprinkler heads don’t pop up or retract properly.
- Your water bills are increasing even though you aren’t increasing your consumption
