Mid-Season Sprinkler System Checks

Once your sprinkler system is installed, it should work at optimum efficiency throughout the year. This fact should be the case up until the winter when you’ll call Nature’s Helper to winterize the system and shut it down until you call for a spring start-up in early spring. However, to maximize the benefits of your sprinkler system, we also recommend you schedule a mid-season sprinkler check-up.

Your system can take quite the beating throughout the year which may cause leaks and other sprinkler problems. Our Omaha irrigation services will keep lawn sprinkler systems running smoothly and efficiently year-round.

Even if you’ve had sprinkler systems before, you may not have considered mid-season checkups. However, there are some excellent reasons why you should.

FAQs – Mid-Season Sprinkler Checks

What Are Mid-Season Sprinkler Checkups?

A mid-season sprinkler checkup for your system is a simple process that includes the following steps:

Testing all sprinkler heads
Checking to see if you’re getting full coverage
Ensuring your watering schedule is right

Why Is a Mid-Season Sprinkler Maintenance Check Important?

Mid-season means the summer, around June or August, when the temperature is the hottest. It’s at this time that it can be most critical for the health of your lawn for your sprinkler system to be working properly and providing good coverage to the entire area. If your sprinkler heads are leaking or a shift has resulted in some areas not getting enough water, your lawn can end up with brown patches fast.

How Do Preventative Sprinkler Maintenance and Mid-Season Checks Save Homeowners Money and Time?

A preventative check of your sprinkler system can identify any potential problems before they become big issues. A fault in your system could have a cascading effect, leading to a costly repair down the road. Preventative maintenance could identify that fault before it leads to other problems. Making sure your system is working optimally can also prevent damage to your lawn that could be costly to fix or hide.

Mid-season sprinkler checks in Omaha are essential because of the four-season climate. Your sprinkler works much harder in the summer than at any other time throughout the year. A mid-season tuneup helps you:

Keep your landscape looking its best
Reduce the risk of expensive and time-consuming repairs
Keep your lawn sprinkler system working well, so you don’t have to spend time on it
Make any adjustments necessary
Avoid the hassle of having to re-do parts of your lawn or landscape because your plants have died due to poor irrigation

Your sprinkler system’s performance has a direct impact on your time and wallet. The less time you think about your sprinkler, the more you can focus on your busy schedule. Plus, you won’t have to spend as much money throughout the year if you’ve invested in preventive sprinkler system maintenance.

What Are the Benefits of a Mid-Season Sprinkler Check?

In addition to saving you money and time in repairs, the mid-season check also gives us the opportunity to assess your system and potentially reconfigure it to minimize water waste, saving you more money and boosting your conservation efforts.

Scheduling a mid-season check, winterization and spring start-up right after we install your system means you can relax and never have to worry that you’re not caring for your system enough for it to function at its best all season long.

How Does Preventive Sprinkler and Irrigation Maintenance Extend the Life of Your Sprinkler or Irrigation System?

Regular maintenance helps ensure you catch problems early before they become full-blown emergencies that require repairs. For example, if your system gets checked regularly, a technician may notice a slight drop in water pressure or discover a leak early, before it has a chance to grow and cause more damage.

Nature’s Helper’s professionals also check the condition of your sprinkler system during each maintenance visit. If your wiring is in trouble or a sprinkler head is starting to get clogged, they can help you diagnose the problem before it becomes a larger issue.

How Do Mid-Season Checks Impact Sprinkler System Performance?

Your sprinkler may not provide equal amounts of water all over your lawn if there’s something wrong. Uneven water distribution and other problems can contribute to root rot, pests, dry patches and even soil erosion in some spots.

The goal isn’t just to have a sprinkler system that works correctly. You want a yard with beautiful grass or plants, and mid-season checks help ensure your sprinkler distributes water correctly over your property.

How Often Should a New Sprinkler System Get Serviced?

Ideally, you need at least three maintenance visits per year. A spring start-up gets your sprinkler system ready for the hot weather. This visit ensures your system is up and running and verifies a long winter did not cause any damage.

A mid-season check confirms the system is working effectively between June and August when it sees the greatest wear and tear. The goal is to ensure everything works well and water gets distributed correctly to support your lawn or landscape.

A final check in the fall gets your system ready for the winter. Winterizing is crucial maintenance as it can protect sprinkler heads, nozzles and other parts of the system from frost, ice and winter conditions.

What Are Some Ways to Protect Your Lawn During the Summer?

You can protect your lawn by mowing correctly. Mow late in the afternoon or early in the morning, taking care to never cut more than a third and keeping blades around three inches. Water your lawn regularly and use fertilizer to keep it looking its best.

How Can I Arrange a Mid-Season Sprinkler Check?

You can also contact us to set up a mid-season check or full maintenance program at any time simply by giving us a call at (402) 334-2625 or getting in touch with us online.

I highly recommend Nature’s Helper. We completely re-did our yard last year and decided to get a sprinkler system to go with it. We got bids from several contractors and were sold by Nature’s Helper. Howard really impressed us. He was friendly, personable, and spent great time going over various options we could do for our yard. He took care and was very thorough in explaining the entire process. We felt that we were really given special attention. We continue to do business with Nature’s Helper for ongoing care and maintenance including the Winter preparation. The entire staff is friendly and have been very awesome in going out of their way to assist us. Even when MUD showed up to do maintenance in the yard, Nature’s Helper was ready to work with us and walked us through steps that helped prevent damage to our system. We get a lot of compliments on our yard and have been told we have the greenest lawn on the block. We credit that to our sprinkler system. Thank you Nature’s Helper for your A-1 service!

Nature’s Helper is an AMAZING company! From the person greeting you on the phone to the owner Howard, everyone is so accommodating, kind, and patient. I had three estimates from sprinkler companies around the city and the other two did not even come close to the price or the customer service that Nature’s Helper provides. Howard sat down with me for close to 2 hours explaining EVERYTHING and answering all of my questions. Even after the installation, I still feel comfortable calling anytime with any questions regarding my sprinkler system and I know they will spend as much time as necessary to answer them all! I would recommend Nature’s Helper to all of my family and friends. Thanks for the wonderful system and continued service!

We would like to express our appreciation for the great customer service from all of the employees at Nature’s Helper with whom we have had contact. After installation, the programming was explained to me in a very thorough manner and was told not to hesitate to call the office if I had any questions. We are glad that we had the system installed as our lawn looks great now. We are also glad that we went with Nature’s Helper because of the professionalism and friendliness of the Nature’s Helper employees. Each time we have called the office with questions, etc. we have received excellent professional help. Take for example, this past fall we had our sprinkler system winterized. Unfortunately, I was not aware of what had to be done as my husband had always taken care of this. All I know is that the Nature’s Helper employee had turned the water off. After he finished and left, I panicked as I believed I had no running water. So, I went to the basement and pushed the lever to its original position. Needless to say, I goofed. I then called Nature’s Helper and spoke with Trena who assured me that I was not the first and only person to do that. She had the young man come back to my house that same afternoon to redo the job at no extra charge.
We certainly recommend Nature’s Helper to others.
