broken sprinkler head geysers
 

Hi everyone,

Recently a broken sprinkler head outside shot up water and caused water
damange inside my condominium. When I reported the damage to my HOA
board, they did not believe a sprinkler could actually shoot up water
high enough to cause damage in my property, so they denied my claim to
fix the damage.

I personally know it is possible for broken sprinkler geysers to shoot
up quite high, and I found a number of web pages discussing this.
However, I didn't find enough web pages that specifically described the
height the geyser can reach.

I would appreciate it if people could describe to me their personal
experiences with broken sprinkler heads and geysers shooting up so that
I may bring more "evidence" to try and convince the HOA board.
Specifics on how high the geysers reached would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Al

You are not going to get specifics. Everyone knows that sprinkler heads
shoot water up if broken. How high depends on a bunch of factors:
pressure, flow, size of line, type of head, etc....

You didn't specifiy the damage or link to any photos, but I think going
to the company who services your condo's sprinkler system would get you
the results you need.

I busted one (unknowingly) with a mower near my bedroom window, had the
window open all night and was abruptly awoken at 5am with sprinkles of
water.

1) Invite condo association offical to your residence, have said person
stand near back of house
2) turn on sprinkler
