The first way is to make sure the system installed is adequate for the task. It should be large enough to consistently meet the demands of the size of the property, and the needs of the plants, trees, or flowers planted. For new landscaping or renovations to a yard, consult the company regarding which system is recommended. If new trees or flowers are being added to a residential or commercial property, new zones may be installed to existing sprinkler systems.

Another way to prevent Sprinkler Blowouts Boulder CO is to hire an experienced company to provide routine and preventative maintenance to the system. A company that has been in business for decades, such as Wards Lawn Service, for example, can keep a system operating efficiently at all times. Routine maintenance, like winterization and annual activation of the system, will ensure that the system will not blowout due to changing weather condition,s or fluctuating temperatures.

Leaving water or air in the system all winter, for example, can lead to cracks in the piping or in the gaskets. Old temperatures will cause water to freeze and damage the system. Having it cleaned out, and the water drained will prevent blowouts due to extreme cold. Inspection of the system, before it goes on in the spring, can alert professionals to any shifting on the soil, or grow of roots that may have loosened connections.
