Your Lake Norman irrigation system is the lifeblood of your lawn, landscape and gardens. To keep it in optimum condition and peak performance, now is the time to ensure that you’re ready for the rigors of summer.
Conserva Irrigation knows full well that healthy lawns, hearty gardens and flourishing landscapes depend on nature’s most precious resource: water. The challenge is to know when to irrigate, how often and for what periods of time – and that’s where we can be of valuable help.
To ensure that your irrigation system works perfectly enriching your landscape, trees, flowers and vegetation, we can guide you to the best results possible.
The 7 sins that must be forgiven and rectified to experience irrigation heaven
1. Puddles, wet spots, soggy turf. These can be corrected and eliminated with professional diagnostic and sprinkler repair services by Conserva Irrigation. At the root of the excessive water problem, it may be one or a combination of factors.
It could be an underground leak which is not obvious to homeowners as it is buried in your landscape. It may be a cracked irrigation system pipe that distributes the water that needs to be replaced. Even more serious, it could very well be a broken and malfunctioning lateral line.
Left as is and unchecked, it will waste significant amounts of that most nurturing natural resource. Even more dramatic and costly, it can wreak havoc on your landscape, driveway, pathways and sidewalk.
2. Lawn patches and garden areas that are dry. As spring turns into summer, you’re noticing patches and possibly large areas that are now brown or even yellow. This is an indication that your sprinkler heads are not sufficiently reaching the zones where the problem areas are.
It may also be a combination of causes. It could be a clogged sprinkler head, an irrigation head that's been knocked out of alignment, or a zone with a stuck or failed valve.
Our experts will find the root cause and fix it so your green, lush landscape can be returned to its former glory.
3. Stuck sprinkler heads. If your irrigation system sprinkler heads stay up in the air – or are stick in the ground – we can make them function like new. It happens often as lawn mowing machines go off course impacting the automatic up and down functionality of a system. Sprinkler heads that no longer rise to attention fully during a cycle usually indicate low water pressure in that zone. That could mean a moderately or fully closed valve, a clogged filter, or a broken pipe upstream.
As part of our full service, we will run each zone manually and check every head. Any that don't pop up fully, spray unevenly, or mist instead of stream will be adjusted or repaired on the spot during our visit.
4. A spike in your water bills. If your water bill dramatically increases without a change in your irrigation schedule, it could be your irrigation system. Even if there’s just one broken valve that no longer shuts off, it can run hundreds of gallons overnight. The telling tale is if you experience a water bill increase of 20% or more without making any changes or alteration to your typical schedule.
Our seasoned diagnosticians will explore the root of the problem and fix it promptly, stopping unnecessary charges for wasted water usage.
5. Pools of standing water in the street, at the curb or on sidewalks. This problematic and frustrating dilemma means your irrigation system heads are aimed incorrectly. It may also be that your programed run time is too long for your soil to absorb the water properly and efficiently. If inadvertently hit or damaged,
you may have a broken head that’s spraying at the wrong angle, way off course. Beyond wasting water, especially when drought restrictions are in place, it may result in an Iredell County violation.
6. Inefficient water system pressure. Without sufficient flow, you may discover that some irrigation zones spray with gusto while others seem to struggle and dribble. When that is the case, you most likely have an irrigation pressure issue. This may be due to a partially closed shutoff valve. Our team will also uncover if it is a backflow preventer that needs service, a clog in a filter, or a problem with your main line. When your irrigation system is uneven, some areas of your lawn and landscape may get too much water while others receive too little.
7. Irrigation systems that start and stop at incorrect times and will not turn off. Your irrigation controller is the heart and soul of your system and most likely needs to be replaced with a newer one that is highly efficient. With our inspection, we will uncover what the problem is, and if you need a technology upgrade, we can do it on the spot.
Being a water efficiency partner with Toro and Hunter, we can upgrade your system with a state-of-the-art Hydrawise Wi-Fi Controller. It uses real-time local weather data to automatically adjust your watering schedule, so your yard gets watered only when it’s needed — and never when it’s not.
Other significant benefits of this Smart Technology controller include reductions in your water usage and accordingly in your utility bill. You will also enjoy remote access from any smart device to conveniently manage your system from anywhere at any time. Should a problem within your irrigation system occur, you will receive an instant alert that attention is needed.
