Sprinklers are a fantastic way to irrigate your lawn and keep it healthy and lush. The right sprinkler system can make such a huge difference and when the time comes to repair or replace, it is important to weigh your options. According to Wrb.ri.gov, more than 50% of water that is used in residential irrigation is lost due to evaporation, overwatering, or improper system installation, design or maintenance. Keep your sprinkler system working well and working efficiently.

Should You Repair?

Sprinkler systems can be very pricey, replacing an entire system that could benefit from repair can cost you a great deal of time as well as a great deal of money. If your residential irrigation system is not working properly or you suspect that there may be a defect or issue, it is always best to call in a professional to have the system inspected.

When working on a repair, a good way to determine if you need repair over replacement is the cost of the repair and the ease of the repair. If the system is going to cost more to repair than replace, it may be time to get a new system. If the system is very easy to repair or is somewhat cheap to replace parts or different aspects of the system, repair is going to cost less and be a better option.

When to Go With Replacement

When a system is too old to repair, when the parts are hard to find, when the parts are going to be very pricey to get and repair, it may be beneficial to go ahead with replacing the system. When weighing the pros and cons of replacement, you should take the system itself into consideration, the overall cost of repair versus replacement, and the overall amount of time that it is going to take to either do the repair or the replacement.

When in doubt, it is always best to contact a professional company that can help you to figure out how to go about repairing or replacing your system. In some cases, replacement of the entire system is going to be more economical than repairing or working to patch certain parts of the system.
