A standard season of an irrigation system in New England typically lasts from April to October. This means that there are, on average, 207 days between each of our visits. Within this time, your irrigation system will experience a variety of wear and tear, from the sporadic weather to lawn care maintenance tools to everything in between.

As a result, it is very possible for problems to arise within your irrigation system without you even being aware of them. These problems can then lead to significant inefficiencies, such as leaks or poorly programmed controllers. This is why at Lucas, we offer system monitoring plans to have a sort of mid-season check-up and remain proactive when it comes to finding potential faults.

There are other alternatives to stay on top of potential water waste, such as installing a flow meter or a separate meter just for tracking the water used by the irrigation system. Both services that Lucas is able to help with, if you are interested!

Aside from the potential solutions listed above, you would strictly be taking a reactionary stance when it comes to staying on top of potential problems with your irrigation system. By opting for a proactive stance, you are not only conserving water but also protecting your investment. At Lucas, we not only believe proactive irrigation management is smart — it’s essential.
