LA, LA (prHWY.com) August 29, 2012 - LA, Aug 28, 2012 - It requires some easy resources for these maintenance, namely a scoop, PVC tube saw, PVC stick and for beginners as well as the areas required for each job. While most of these maintenance will need some searching there are some way's to cut down on the quantity required. The primary way is in the option of areas for the fix.

The easiest repair to deal with is a cracked or broken pipe in a strait section. After clearing enough room to work on the pipe you need to measure the area to be repaired. Here is where one of those parts I mentioned comes in. The part is called a slip fix or expansion coupler although it can go by other names.

Sprinkler System Repair Shreveport - When everything is ready cut out the broken section of pipe. Once that is done follow the directions on the primer and glue to prepare the parts for reassembly. If the slip fix does not span the full area of the repair, a section of pipe and another coupler may be needed.

Cracked or broken pipes and valves that fail are common problems that need to be dealt with in a sprinkler system. In this piece I will cover the tools, parts and details of fixing these problems. All the repairs discussed in this article are for PVC systems, gallivanted pipes will be covered at another time.

Irrigation System Cost Shreveport - Maintenance to broken fittings are harder to deal with because you often have to cut out good fittings and rebuild the section. This is fairly common when fittings such as tees and elbows are set nearby together. It can also be a problem when changing valves or an adaptor to those valves.

Water seeping from a head or a valve that will not shut off are a sign that the diaphragm in the valve is the trouble. A valve that fails to activate is a sign that the solenoid is bad or that there is a wire problem. In the first case replacing the diaphragm can sometimes cure the trouble but replacing the valve is always a possibility.

The first is all the wire connections. Even in the best conditions corrosion or rodents can break a connection. The next thing to check is if there is power to the solenoid of the valve. If the solenoid is buzzing but the station stays off the solenoid is most likely bad and should be replaced.
