Irrigation System Leak Detection
Find hidden leaks in sprinkler and irrigation systems to save water, reduce bills, and protect your landscaping.
Stop Wasting Water
Irrigation system leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water and drive up utility costs. Our detection technology locates underground leaks so repairs can be targeted and your system restored to efficiency.
- Pressure Testing: Identify if and where pressure is being lost
- Acoustic Detection: Listen for escaping water underground
- Zone Testing: Isolate problems to specific irrigation zones
- Locating Service: Mark exact leak locations for excavation
What We Inspect
- Main supply lines
- Zone lateral lines
- Sprinkler head connections
- Valve boxes and manifolds
- Drip irrigation systems
- Backflow preventers
Common Irrigation Leak Sources
Pipe Breaks
Freeze damage, root intrusion, and soil settling cause pipes to crack or separate at joints.
Valve Failures
Diaphragms and seals in zone valves deteriorate, causing constant slow leaks even when off.
Head Connections
Sprinkler head risers and swing joints are often damaged by foot traffic and lawn equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my irrigation system is leaking?
Signs include unexplained wet areas or pooling water when the system is off, consistently soggy spots, unusually high water bills, low water pressure at sprinkler heads, and dying plants in areas that should be well-watered.
Can you find underground irrigation leaks?
Yes, we use acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, and sometimes tracer gases to locate underground leaks in irrigation lines without extensive excavation.
What causes irrigation system leaks?
Common causes include freeze damage, root intrusion, settling soil that shifts pipes, lawn equipment damage, poor fitting connections, and age-related deterioration of pipes and fittings.
Do you repair irrigation leaks?
We specialize in leak detection and locating. Once we pinpoint the leak, we can recommend trusted irrigation contractors for repairs, or work alongside them to verify repairs are successful.
