5 Signs Your Sprinkler System Needs Repairs

A healthy lawn and landscape depend on a properly functioning sprinkler system. When something goes wrong, it’s not always obvious right away — but small problems can turn into costly damage if left unaddressed.

Here are five common warning signs that it’s time to call Freedom Irrigation for professional sprinkler repair.

1. Uneven Watering or Dry Patches

If parts of your lawn are dry while others are overwatered, it could mean your sprinkler heads are clogged, misaligned, or not functioning properly.

2. Weak Water Pressure

Low pressure in your system can indicate a leak, broken pipe, or valve issue. Ignoring it can lead to wasted water and poor lawn health.

3. Sprinkler Heads Not Popping Up

Heads that fail to extend can be caused by dirt buildup, broken parts, or water pressure problems.

4. High Water Bills

A sudden increase in your water bill without a change in usage is a red flag that your irrigation system may have a hidden leak.

5. Water Pooling in the Yard

Standing water is a clear sign of overwatering, a leak, or broken heads. This can damage your grass and attract pests.
