Lush lawns and vibrant gardens go hand in hand with automatic sprinklers. However, hidden sprinkler system leaks can lead to water waste and property damage. Regularly checking the automatic sprinkler valves lets you find leaks quickly, and prevents unnecessarily high water bills.
Landscape Beauty:
A well watered landscape enhances your curb appeal and home value. Leaks in sprinkler valves, if left unaddressed, can lead to uneven watering, ground sogginess, and patchy grass. Periodic checks ensure that your landscaping thrives by providing consistent water distribution. Keep plants from growing up, over, and around the sprinkler valves so you can see them directly.
Preventing Structural Damage:
Unchecked leaks can lead to more than just cosmetic issues. Excessive moisture around the foundation or walls of your home can cause structural damage over time. Regular inspections safeguard your property from deterioration and costly repairs.
Checking sprinkler valves is an important home maintenance checklist item. From saving water and money to safeguarding your landscape and preventing structural damage, this simple practice ensures that your property thrives.
Pictured here are two sprinkler valves. The one circled in yellow is wet and leaking; the one on the left is dry and not leaking. Both valves had been hidden by overgrown agapanthus plants for a long time before we pulled away the plants and detected the leak.
