Everything you need to know about finding an irrigation system repairer

Irrigation repairs are sometimes required to mend leaking or damaged pipes, as well as faulty components. Damage may be caused by a number of factors including insects, birds, pets; or by other gardening activities such as excavation. With underground irrigation systems it is often difficult to pinpoint the exact location of a problem. This typically requires specialised equipment.

If an irrigation contractor has installed a system on your property, they will usually keep plans which help in locating the problem. Modern automated irrigation systems also have electronic components which may require a trained technician to install, reset or repair. These include automated controllers and rain sensors. When installing an irrigation system it is crucial to determine if the irrigation consultant has an adequate inventory of spare parts, to ensure it can be maintained for the foreseeable future.

Follow these tips to enhance water efficiency in the garden:

• mulch your beds after watering to further reduce evaporation
• consider installing a rainwater tank on your property to reduce reliance on the mains system
• plant indigenous plant species or succulents that are not reliant on regular watering
• repair all plumbing in the garden promptly
