Lawn Sprinkler wetting building

0360 SPRINKLER(S) WETTING BUILDING AND/OR EQUIPMENT: 
Wetting the siding of a building or equipment such as A/C units, pool equipment, electrical panels, etc., is never a good idea. Wet stucco or brick becomes discolored, wood siding deteriorates and paint products will not last. Wet foundation vents become rusted and disintegrate Water spraying under the building through these vents causes wood rot of floor joists and other framing members The inspector cannot ascertain if water migration through the walls is occurring and/or is causing or contributing to indoor air quality concerns. This may include, but is not limited to, fungi, mold, volatile organic compounds, etc. For further information you are advised to contact the inspector or have testing performed by other qualified persons If possible, direct the sprinkler away from the building or equipment by turning the head with a pair of pliers or wrench or adjust impulse sprinklers by moving the wire clamps just under the spray head. It may be necessary to put some sort of shield over, or in front of, the sprinkler to divert the water In many cases the problem is due to improper sprinkler head type or improper sprinkler layout. Sprinkler heads come in a variety of spray coverages such as 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and full round. Almost all Home Improvement type stores and Building Supply Outlets carry sprinkler heads and all are easy to install Improper layout is a more difficult problem to address. In this case it may be necessary to contact a Landscape Contractor for additional assistance. If you prefer to do the job yourself and need further information we suggest you purchase one of the many sprinkler installation handbooks available at almost any Home Improvement Store and/or contact this company for details unique to your property.
