Irrigation Performance & Coverage Audit

Service Description

Our Irrigation Performance & Coverage Audit goes beyond checking whether your system turns on. We look at how the irrigation is actually performing across your lawns and gardens and identify areas where coverage or watering could be improved. What we check The Performance & Coverage Audit includes the operational checks carried out as part of our Irrigation Check & Tune-Up, including: Irrigation controller and programmed settings Irrigation stations/zones Pumps, boosters and filters dedicated to irrigation Rain sensors Flow or water meters where fitted Valves and associated hardware Sprinklers and rotors Dripperline Obvious leaks or damage We then take the assessment further. Sprinkler and rotor coverage We'll run the irrigation and assess whether sprinklers and rotors appear to be providing the coverage expected. We'll look for: Incorrect sprinkler rotation Incorrect spray arcs Blocked or damaged nozzles Sprinklers that are not popping up properly Sprinklers buried beneath turf Sprinklers obstructed by plants, hedges or landscaping Missing sprinklers Areas receiving little or no irrigation Areas that appear to be receiving excessive irrigation A sprinkler can be operating normally but still fail to water the intended area, so looking at coverage is an important part of understanding system performance. Garden and dripperline coverage We'll consider the irrigation coverage across the garden and identify obvious gaps or areas that may no longer be appropriately irrigated. Where plans are available, we'll use them to help understand the original system design. Where plans aren't available, we'll work with the homeowner's knowledge of the system and what we can observe onsite. For dripperline systems, we'll look for obvious issues such as: Missing or disconnected sections Blocked areas Poorly positioned dripperline Areas of planting that appear to have inadequate irrigation Planting that has expanded beyond the original irrigation layout What happens after the audit? We'll provide a report outlining our findings and recommendations. This may include: Repairs required Components needing replacement Irrigation coverage improvements Changes to sprinkler or rotor layout Dripperline improvements Controller or programming recommendations Pump or pressure-related issues Where appropriate, we'll provide pricing for the recommended repairs, upgrades or other work Please read the full Information on this service and pricing HERE: https://www.wtsnz.co.nz
