Common Irrigation Problems
When you invest in an irrigation system, you expect to achieve a stunning landscape in return. Problems like low water pressure and poor sprinkler coverage can cause deep disappointment. Brown patches of grass, dead shrubs, and runoff channels are the possible results, which nobody wants to live with. Here are a few examples of common irrigation problems All-Plumb-Rooter Plumbing can resolve for your system:
Clogged sprinklers. Dirt and other debris can make its way inside sprinklers. Over time, the debris collects and can reduce or completely block water flowing to the sprinkler head.
Missing or damaged sprinkler heads. Foot traffic, lawn mowers, and cars commonly damage sprinkler heads. Additionally, many dogs seem to view sprinklers as an opportunity to play tug-of-war with the ground. A sure sign of a broken or missing sprinkler head is a geyser of water shooting straight up from where a sprinkler once was.
Drainage issues. Many conditions can cause drainage issues, such as concretions under the soil surface. A lack of rain runoff solutions (like gutters or French drains) will exacerbate drainage problems. A plumbing expert can examine the site and recommend effective water management solutions.
Faulty water pump. Troubleshooting a malfunctioning water pump can be a challenge. Trust All-Plumb-Rooter to examine every possible repair option before recommending a total replacement.
Cracked irrigation pipes. Broken pipes buried under your lawn will often cause soggy patches or even major flooding events. At the first sign of a busted pipe, keep the irrigation system turned off until a professional arrives to repair it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does drip irrigation work?
Drip irrigation delivers a slow and steady water supply directly to a plant’s root zone. This method of watering is designed to minimize the water wasted through runoff and evaporation.
How do you maintain a sprinkler irrigation system?
A little care goes a long way for sprinkler systems. Winterize the system each fall, and address leaks and other problems as soon as they arise. Also, have an expert like All-Plumb-Rooter inspect and activate the system each spring to make sure it’s working as intended.
How do you winterize an irrigation system?
If you live in a four-season climate, winterizing your irrigation system will prevent pipe damage during the winter. To winterize the system, all water is blown out of the pipes and the water supply is turned off. Sprinkler heads in danger of being broken by a plow or shovel should also be removed and the fixture capped for protection.
