Minnetonka Lawn Sprinklers Company Offers Tips on How to Check for a Sprinkler System Leak

MINNETONKA, Minn. - May 9, 2013 - PRLog -- With the already high costs of water and other utilities, Clearwater Irrigation, a full-service lawn care, sprinkler and irrigation systems service company located near Minnetonka, offers tips on what to check for if there’s been a noticeable increase in utility bills.

The first thing to do, according to company owner Steve Bielski, is to shut off for a short a time all the water in your house. “If your water meter still spins, then it could be a sprinklers leak,” Bielski said. “If this is the case, shut off all water to the system and call a professional.”

Bielski said to look for or notice the following if a sprinkler system is believed to be leaking:

·         Broken sprinkler heads

·         Weak system output

·         Different coverage to each sprinkler head

·         Brown spots on the yard

·         Wet or soggy areas on your yard

·         Meter and/or valve boxes that are always filled with water

“Preventing water leaks will prevent a higher water bill,” Bielski said. “Be on the lookout for any of the above, and correct immediately or the situation will only continue to worsen.”
