Sprinkler Leak Repair
A wet spot that never dries, water bubbling up between heads, a water bill that jumped. We find the leak and fix it. Call (346) 627-2444.
Mainline or lateral
The mainline from the backflow device to the valves is under pressure all the time, so a leak there runs day and night and shows up on the bill. Laterals after each valve only leak while that zone runs. A quick water meter test tells them apart. See high water bill? check for a sprinkler leak.
Leaks in sandy soil
In sandy ground, water from a leak can drain straight down and never surface, so the only sign is a bill or a weak zone. Where there is clay below the sand, water can travel along it and surface somewhere else. We use the layout of the system and how the zone behaves to find the break, then dig carefully and repair it.
Roots
Pine and hardwood roots wrap and lift laterals. We repair around roots by hand and reroute lines when a spot keeps failing.
Do the meter test first
Turn off every faucet and appliance in the house, set the controller to Off, and watch the leak indicator on the water meter. If it moves, close the irrigation shut-off valve. If the indicator stops, the leak is on the sprinkler side. If it keeps moving, the leak is in the house or the service line, and a plumber is the right call. Tell us what the meter did when you call; it saves time on the visit.
