Irrigation System Leak Detection & Repair

Serving you for more than 40 years

Common Causes of Irrigation System Leaks

Irrigation systems are exposed to the elements and heavy usage, making them prone to leaks caused by:

• Broken or Cracked Pipes: Pipes can crack due to ground movement, weather conditions, or aging materials.
• Faulty Sprinkler Heads: Sprinkler heads can break, clog, or become misaligned, leading to leaks.
• Damaged Seals or Valves: Worn-out seals and valves often result in water escaping the system.
• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots seeking water can infiltrate underground pipes and cause damage.
• Improper Installation: Incorrect setup or poor-quality materials increase the risk of leaks.

Identifying the root cause is essential for effective and lasting repairs.

Signs of an Irrigation System Leak

Detecting irrigation system leaks early can save you time, money, and water. Look for these common signs:

• Soggy Patches in the Lawn: Overly wet areas or water pooling around sprinklers.
• Uneven Watering: Dry spots or overly saturated zones in your yard.
• Higher Water Bills: A sudden spike in water usage may indicate a hidden leak.
• Low Water Pressure: Reduced spray from sprinklers suggests a problem in the system.
• Mold or Algae Growth: Excess moisture around irrigation components encourages growth.
• Noise from Sprinkler System: Hissing or bubbling sounds when the system is off.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call in the professionals.

Risks of Ignoring Irrigation System Leaks

Failing to address irrigation system leaks promptly can lead to several issues:

1. Water Waste: Leaking irrigation systems waste water, contributing to higher utility bills.
2. Landscape Damage: Overwatering can drown plants, while dry areas may cause your lawn to wither.
3. Soil Erosion: Excess water can destabilize soil, leading to uneven ground and property damage.
4. Expensive Repairs: Delayed maintenance can lead to more extensive damage requiring costly repairs.

Timely leak detection and repair ensure your irrigation system runs smoothly and efficiently.
