Choices in Lawn Sprinkler Repair
If you are unfortunate to discover that you need to make a lawn sprinkler repair as something appears not to be working on your sprinkler system, then only thing that your need to decide on, is if your are prefer to attempt to fix it yourself or to call out a contractor to come out and repair if for you.
If the system that required the sprinkler repair was originally installed by a contractor than certainly you should call them back to do the repair. It would definitely be foolhardy to attempt it yourself. There are two good points for this. The first is that if a contractor installed the system then it should come with a guarantee or warranty. If any attempts are made to self repair the lawn sprinkler system than any guaranties or warranties that apply to it will instantly become void. This will include any other professional help.
Secondly, it is often wise to call out the professionals as attempting to do any repairs on the sprinkler can turn out to be very tricky. It is likely that much of the systems if underground and the last thing that you really want to be is to make the problem worse, resulting in the need to dig up everything. Calling in the professional is often likely to save you time and money in the long run.
If however, you do feel that you understand the system, or perhaps you laid it down yourself, than you may as well attempt to make the sprinkler repair. Often, it is not that much of a deal, but only a sprinkler head that needs replacing or repair. If so you need only to search around until the fault in located. When you starting the digging you must be certain not a piece any of the pipes, so be careful. Remove the head, making sure that the system if off and will remain so, and now check on how bad the damage is.
Does is simply need to be cleared out or is there more substantial damage and needs replacing? If the replacement of the head is required, attempt to find the kind that you had or it not at least make sure that if will produce the same or similar spray pattern. When completed, carefully return the earth to its place around the sprinkler head. Then be proud that you did the lawn sprinkler repair all by yourself.
