Happy First Day of Fall! Before you break out the pumpkin spice and Halloween decorations, take some time to check your house for wear and tear after a long Texas summer.

Your sprinkler system has had a workout in 2021 so far, from an extreme freeze to a long, hot summer. Watering season isn’t quite over yet, so it’s a good time to do a visual inspection of each head both when they’re off and when they’re running. Check for lawn mower damage, malfunctioning heads, heads pointed the wrong direction, and evidence of underground leaks.
