Kelly Inspection Services specializes in thorough irrigation system inspections, helping property owners detect issues early and maintain optimal performance. Let’s explore why irrigation system inspections are essential and what they entail. 

Why Irrigation System Inspections Matter 

Your irrigation system operates mostly out of sight, making it easy to overlook potential problems. Regular inspections can identify hidden issues before they lead to costly repairs or water waste. Here’s why you should consider a professional inspection: 

• Water Conservation – Detecting leaks and inefficiencies helps prevent excessive water use. 

• Cost Savings – A properly functioning system reduces utility bills and prevents expensive repairs. 

• Optimal Plant Health – Ensures that all plants receive the right amount of water for healthy growth. 

• Prevention of Property Damage – Identifies leaks or drainage issues that could lead to soil erosion or foundation damage. 

• Compliance with Local Regulations – Ensures your system meets any local water usage and irrigation standards. 

What Happens During an Irrigation System Inspection? 

When you schedule an inspection with Kelly Inspection Services, our experienced professionals conduct a thorough assessment of your system, including: 

1. System Performance Evaluation – Checking for leaks, clogged nozzles, and misaligned sprinkler heads. 

1. Water Pressure Testing – Ensuring the system operates within the optimal pressure range to prevent damage. 

1. Zone Testing – Running each zone individually to check for uneven water distribution. 

1. Valve and Controller Assessment – Verifying that timers, sensors, and valves function correctly. 

1. Backflow Prevention Check – Ensuring backflow prevention devices work properly to protect potable water sources. 

1. Coverage Analysis – Making sure all areas receive adequate water without over-saturating or under-watering. 

When Should You Get an Irrigation System Inspection? 

Routine inspections help maintain an efficient and effective system. You should schedule an inspection: 

• At the Start of the Season – Ensure the system is functioning properly after winter dormancy. 

• Before Making Landscape Changes – Verify the irrigation setup will support new plantings or hardscape additions. 

• After Noticing Water Issues – Address dry spots, pooling water, or unusually high water bills. 

• Annually for Preventative Maintenance – Catching small issues early can prevent major repairs later.
