What is a Mid-Season Inspection?
A mid-season inspection ensures that your irrigation system is functioning optimally during the hottest months. Even minor inefficiencies—such as leaks, clogged nozzles, or incorrect scheduling—can lead to increased water waste, higher utility costs, and compromised landscape health. Our technicians will fine-tune your system to maintain efficiency and prevent costly repairs.
Why is getting a mid-season inspection on your commercial irrigation system important?
Most commercial irrigation properties receive a lot of foot and truck traffic and are very busy. Because of this, many of these sites are prone and susceptible to more broken heads and leaks throughout the irrigation season compared to smaller, less busy sites. This drives water costs up and could cause expensive damage to your plant material. These issues prevent the sprinkler systems from performing at maximum efficiency. If your site supervisor isn’t regularly checking your sprinkler system, this will lead to much larger issues. Having one of our highly experienced senior irrigation technicians perform your mid-season inspection takes the worry away from these potential problems.
What’s Included in a Mid-Season Inspection?
- System-wide check and adjustment of sprinkler heads for proper coverage
- Optimization of watering schedules based on seasonal weather and plant needs while softscapes are in full bloom
- Identification and flagging of problem areas for necessary maintenance or upgrades
Smart Irrigation for Commercial Properties
If your property has a smart (wifi) controller, it will automatically adjust watering times based on weather conditions, reducing water waste and ensuring consistent hydration.
Tips for Efficient Summer Irrigation
- Avoid mid-day watering: Schedule irrigation between 2:00AM and 6:00AM to minimize evaporation.
- Adjust mowing practices: Maintain a higher grass length to retain soil moisture and reduce stress.
- Consider drip irrigation: Ideal for landscaped areas, drip systems reduce runoff and evaporation, delivering water directly to plant roots.
- Pre-emptive deep watering: Watering deeply before heatwaves helps sustain plants through extreme temperatures.
