Keep Your Texas Lawn Thriving Year-Round with Home Pros Residential Sprinkler Maintenance Guide

Here in Texas, a healthy lawn needs a well-maintained sprinkler system. Home Pros Residential is here to help you keep your grass lush and green all year long with our Ultimate Guide to Sprinkler Maintenance.

Why Maintain Your Sprinklers?

Regular maintenance offers several benefits:

• Save Money & the Environment: A leaky system wastes water, costing you more and harming the environment. Maintenance ensures efficient watering.

• Effortless Watering: Spend less time dragging hoses! A well-maintained system keeps your lawn hydrated automatically.

• Longer System Life: Regular care catches problems early, preventing costly repairs and extending your system's lifespan.

Basic Maintenance Tips

• Hunt for Leaks: Look for damaged pipes, sprinkler heads, or pooling water to identify leaks that waste water and damage your lawn.

• Clean Sprinkler Heads: Dirt, debris, and minerals can clog heads. Regular cleaning ensures even water distribution.

• Adjust Sprinkler Heads: Over time, heads can get misaligned due to mowing, foot traffic, or settling. Adjust them for even watering.

• Inspect the Valves: These control water flow. Look for signs of wear and tear and replace faulty valves promptly.

• Check the Controller: This "brain" of your system needs a check-up too. Ensure the time, date, and watering schedule are correct for your lawn's needs.

Troubleshooting Common Sprinkler Issues

Even with maintenance, problems can arise. Here's how to tackle some common ones:

• Low Water Pressure: This could be caused by a clogged filter, a leak, or a faulty valve. Clean or replace the filter, and if the issue persists, check for leaks or damaged valves.

• Uneven Watering: Misaligned sprinkler heads or clogged nozzles can cause this. Adjust the heads and clean the nozzles for even water distribution.

• No Water Flow: First, check the controller to make sure it's on and programmed correctly. If that's not the issue, inspect the valves and pipes for leaks or damage.
