Keep Your Crowley Lawn Looking Its Best

Keep your lawn looking its best all season long! A healthy yard starts with a reliable irrigation system, but sometimes things go wrong. If you are noticing dry patches or swampy spots, it might be time to check your sprinklers.

Here is a quick troubleshooting guide to help you identify common sprinkler issues before you need to call in the pros.

4 Common Sprinkler Issues & How to Spot Them

1. Water Pooling
   Excess water gathering in unwanted areas can drown your plants and damage your foundation.

• Pro-tip: Turn on your system for five minutes and walk the yard. Look for bubbling water around the sprinkler heads, which usually indicates a broken seal or a cracked line.

2. System Inefficiency
   Are you seeing unexpected spikes in your water bill or uneven watering? Your system might be running inefficiently.

• Pro-tip: Review your controller schedule. Ensure your run times match the current season and that you are watering early in the morning to prevent evaporation.

3. Sensor Issues
   If your sprinklers run during a heavy rainstorm, your rain or soil moisture sensor is likely failing.

• Pro-tip: Locate your rain sensor (usually mounted on a gutter or fence). Gently wipe away any dirt, leaves, or spider webs that might be blocking the sensors from reading moisture levels accurately.

4. Non-Functional Zones
   Sometimes a specific zone simply fails to turn on, leaving a whole section of your grass to turn brown.

• Pro-tip: Check your valve box. Ensure the wires are securely connected and try manually twisting the valve a quarter-turn to see if water flows. If it does, the issue is likely electrical.
