Auditing your sprinkler system could save you tons of money!

Hello friends, I wanted to talk with you today about the importance of irrigation maintenance over here at a new client's house. We're running through their irrigation system, they just bought this house and so we're discovering that the irrigation system has not been properly maintained in a while. So I wanted to show you a couple of things, as you can see right here we've got a busted sprinkler head. One thing that you may not realize, is how much water a busted sprinkler head will waste. A single busted sprinkler head can waste up to 750 gallons of water per hour and imagine if you have multiple busted sprinkler heads on a single irrigation system, you could be wasting thousands of gallons of water every single time that you water your lawn, and we would just absolutely hate to see that. Another thing that we find with irrigation systems is as your sprinkler heads get older, they begin to leak. As you can see with this sprinkler head right here, it's beginning to leak around the top of the sprinkler head and so this sprinkler head needs to be replaced, even though it seems to be spraying just fine it's leaking a lot of water. We've got another one that's doing that right over here, actually, this one and this one way over here are both leaking a lot of water and that wastes tons and tons of water. So one thing you want to do is have, whether you do it yourself or you have a licensed irrigator, come out and take a look at your property. It's important to maintain your irrigation system so that you can have a healthy lawn. One thing you want to look out for especially here in Texas, whenever you have hired somebody to look at your irrigation system, you want to make sure that they are a licensed irrigator. One simple way that you can tell is to look for a number on their truck. They're required by law to have their license number displayed on their truck in two-inch letters on both sides of the truck, as you can see here. So if you have any questions, ask to take a look at their license. We're required to carry our license with us everywhere we're working on an irrigation system. I've got my license with me right now, so anybody who wants to take a look at can ask me and I'll show you. If you need somebody to look at your irrigation system and you’re discovering that it's a little more than you want to tackle, feel free to give us a shout we'd love to take a look at your irrigation system.
