Drip line Repair Las Vegas, NV

Small Breaks
If there is a small leak, the first step is to find the source of the breakage. Common signs include puddles of water and low or no water pressure, especially later on in the line. If you find a kink in the line, you need only to untwist it and you're good to go. Some kinks require you to lay the tubing as flat as possible and let it sit under the sun to soften and then allow the system to run for a minute or two. If this does not fix the kink, cut into the mainline and remove the kinked section, and add a coupler.

If you find a small hole, a goof plug may be the simplest solution. This also works for plugging holes you no longer need to utilize. If the broken area is less than 2 inches wide, it is a relatively easy fix. You will need a pair of sharp scissors or a tube cutting tool and a coupler fitting like the easy-loc coupler here, designed to repair small breaks in the line and reconnect broken tubing.

Larger Breaks
For bigger tears or rips in your drip irrigation system, you will need two couplers instead of only one and an additional section of the same or similar tubing. Just like with the small break, you will begin by cutting out the bad section. Cut the section of extra tubing to match the length you are removing. Finally, use the couplers to join the extra section to your main line. In some cases, replacing the whole run of tubing is needed.

Pressure Damage
Pressure regulators are an important part of keeping your drip irrigation system running smoothly. Insufficient pressure can lead to compromised plant growth. Pressure that is too high can actually damage the irrigation system. Emitters may squirt water or even pop out of their location. If this happens, your emitters or tubing may have to be replaced. Investing in a pressure regulator will be your best option because it can reduce incoming pressure.

Irrigation is well worth the investment and like many other things will require some maintenance. A few simple steps like adding proper filtration, reducing high pressure, and selecting the right products, will ensure that your system is running smoothly for many years. If any damage were to occur to your mainline tubing, just follow the simple steps to get the system fixed and running again.
