Irrigation Inspections
Water Bill Too High? It’s Time to Check for Leaks!
To save you the time and hassle of watering your plants and gardens, well-functioning lawn irrigation can work like magic and helps keep your front lawn and backyard looking great. However, unlike plumbing systems that are safely nestled under the home’s foundation, irrigation is more susceptible to damage and frequent exposure to external forces. Whether it’s because of high winds or you accidentally knocked the valve while mowing the lawn, your irrigation system is prone to breakage and leakage.
How To Check For Signs Of Irrigation Leak
If you notice an increase in your water bill, then it’s only one of the many signs you should be on the lookout for. A sprinkler system that doesn’t work properly can also damage other parts of the home such as the foundation.
- Visible, physical damage – Pipe burst, broken valve, shooting water like a fountain – all these are signs of a defective sprinkler system.
- Increased water bill – Increased water bill even without using water more than usual? That’s a sign of a leak and would call for a sprinkler repair.
- Wet and soggy spots – If you notice any particular areas on your lawn or backyard that are always soggy and wet, check to see if your irrigation system needs repair.
- Dying or withered lawn – A dry and dying lawn is an indication of insufficient water supply.
We highly recommend that you include an Irrigation System prior to purchasing a home to make sure that its functions are working as it should. Our home inspectors will do a thorough inspection and issue a comprehensive, digital report.
