During the inspection, we check for issues such as leaks, clogged nozzles, and broken sprinkler heads.

There are several signs that your irrigation system may need maintenance:

• Uneven watering: If some areas of your lawn are overwatered while others are dry, it may be due to clogged nozzles, broken sprinkler heads, or pressure issues in the system.

• Wet or dry spots: Pools of water or dry patches in your lawn can be caused by malfunctioning components in the irrigation system, such as leaks or broken lines.

• Low water pressure: If the water pressure is too low, your sprinkler heads may not be functioning properly or reaching the desired coverage area.

• Malfunctioning sprinkler heads: Sprinklers that aren’t rotating correctly, leaking, or spraying in the wrong direction could be a sign that they need to be repaired or replaced.
