Problems With Your Irrigation System? Why You Need To Take Care Of Repairs Right Away

Blog

If your irrigation system isn't working properly, you need to have it repaired before spring arrives. Problems with your irrigation system can cause additional problems for you and for your yard. Here are just four of the reasons you need to keep your irrigation system in good repair. 

Conserve Water

If you're having problems with your irrigation system, you could be wasting water. Unfortunately, wasted water translates to an increased water bill for you each month. However, it also puts additional pressure on your community water levels, especially during drought conditions. Every drop of wasted water counts during a drought. If your irrigation system is leaking, you need to take care of the repairs as soon as possible. Taking care of the repairs in a timely manner will help you conserve water and save money. 

Reduce Soil Erosion

If your irrigation system is broken and it's over-watering certain areas of your yard, you could be at risk for soil erosion. Over-watering can undermine the stability of your soil, which can cause serious problems for you, especially on hillsides or around the foundation of your home. If your irrigation system is over-watering your hillside, you could end up with small slides, which could send mud into the lower portion of your yard. Soil erosion around the foundation of your home or driveway could cause your concrete to collapse. Avoid those risks by having your irrigation system repaired as soon as a problem develops. 

Ensure Proper Coverage

If you have large expanses of lawn in your yard, a broken irrigation system could lead to problems with coverage. For your lawn to thrive, it requires the perfect level of water absorption. If your lawn receives improper water levels, it could die. Improper water coverage can also harm your gardens, especially if they're being deprived of adequate moisture. To ensure proper coverage for your lawn and gardens, keep your irrigation system in good repair. 

Protect Against Pest Infestations

Finally, if your irrigation system is malfunctioning, you could be at risk for pest infestations. Over-watering can lead to an increase in mosquito and roach activity around your yard. That's because these types of pests are attracted to standing water, especially during warm weather. Under-watering your lawn and gardens could invite pests that will destroy your landscaping. One of the best ways to protect your home and landscaping against pest infestations is to take care of your irrigation problems immediately.
