Irrigation Questions Answered
When should I winterize my irrigation system in Charlotte?
In the Charlotte area, irrigation systems should be winterized before the first hard freeze, typically in November or December. Winterization involves shutting off the water supply, blowing compressed air through all zone lines to remove standing water, and turning off controllers. This prevents frozen pipes and cracked components that result from water expanding as it freezes. We monitor weather forecasts and schedule winterizations accordingly.
How often should sprinkler heads be adjusted or replaced?
Sprinkler heads should be inspected and adjusted at least twice per year – during spring startup and mid-season. Heads get knocked out of alignment by mowers, foot traffic, and settling soil. Most quality sprinkler heads last 10 to 15 years, but plastic components can break sooner. Signs you need replacement include uneven spray patterns, heads that do not pop up fully, or visible cracks. Our seasonal inspections catch these issues before they waste water or create dry spots.
Why is my water bill higher even though I have not changed my irrigation schedule?
Unexpectedly high water bills usually indicate a leak somewhere in your irrigation system. Common culprits include cracked pipes underground, stuck valves that do not fully close, or broken heads that spray continuously. Even small leaks waste thousands of gallons over a billing period. A thorough system inspection can identify the source. We check water meter readings before and after running each zone to pinpoint where water loss is occurring.
