FAQs about sprinkler maintenance

What are the signs my sprinkler system needs servicing?

Here are some ways to spot a problem with your sprinkler system:

• Low water pressure or uneven watering (this could indicate clogs or damage)

• Obvious damage or leaks coming from the sprinkler heads

• Inconsistent operation or lack of scheduled waterings (potential wiring or valve issues)

• Strange sounds coming from the system itself signal a malfunction

• Wilted or overwatered plants, which suggests poor spray distribution

How often should a sprinkler system be serviced?

As a general rule, opt for an annual inspection to make sure everything is working well. Also, choose a twice-yearly maintenance package to prepare it for peak usage times.

In addition, do your own ad-hoc checks on parts like valves and sprinkler heads to make sure everything is working properly.

How long should a residential sprinkler system last?

Typically, a sprinkler system lasts around 20 years on average, provided it's properly installed and maintained.

Components like sprinkler heads may need replacing every 10 years, while subterranean pipes can last up to 40 years.

Can I do sprinkler maintenance myself?

Basic checks, like spotting leaks or clearing obstructions, are fine to approach as a DIY task.

But full inspections and pressure tests should be done by a qualified engineer to ensure safety and compliance.
