Beat the Heat: Mid-Summer Sprinkler System Check-Up

Utah’s high summer temperatures place considerable demand on your sprinkler system. Dry conditions, intense sun exposure, and increased water needs mean even small inefficiencies can lead to overwatering, dead patches, or costly utility bills. A professional mid-season check-up is the most effective way to ensure your irrigation system performs efficiently during peak summer months.

Sprinkler systems are not “set-it-and-forget-it.” Mid-summer evaluations detect performance issues that aren’t always obvious to the untrained eye. Timely inspections allow for recalibration, adjustments, and repairs that protect both your landscape and your water budget.

Why You Need a Mid-Season Sprinkler Evaluation

A licensed irrigation technician has the tools and expertise to identify system issues that cause:

• Uneven lawn coverage
• Overspray onto driveways or structures
• Low or high-pressure inconsistencies
• Hidden leaks or faulty valves
• Improper zone programming

Relying on a professional ensures your system operates at optimal performance under the unique climate conditions found in Utah.

What a Professional Check-Up Includes

When you schedule a midsummer inspection, a trained irrigation specialist will conduct a system-wide performance analysis, which typically includes:

• Full-coverage testing: Each zone is activated and reviewed for coverage, spray pattern efficiency, and timing accuracy.
• Sprinkler head inspection: Technicians examine every head for clogs, damage, and misalignment. Heads are adjusted or replaced as needed to restore uniform spray.
• Pressure assessment: Static and dynamic water pressure is measured to confirm that the system meets manufacturer specifications for your sprinkler heads and valves.
• Controller evaluation: Your irrigation schedule is reviewed and updated to reflect summer heat conditions, optimizing water usage while preventing runoff and evaporation.
• Leak detection: Areas with excessive moisture, water pooling, or turf discoloration are inspected for underground leaks or damaged fittings.

Don’t Wait for Problems to Surface

You may not notice inefficiencies until your water bill spikes or parts of your lawn begin to brown. A proactive approach saves you from reactive repairs and helps preserve water in one of the driest states in the country.

Delaying maintenance can result in:

• Burnt or overwatered turf
• Wasted water due to inefficient scheduling
• Costly emergency repairs from hidden damage
• Compliance issues with local watering restrictions
