A healthy lawn starts with a leak-free irrigation system. But hidden leaks can waste water, damage your yard, and spike your water bill. Here's how to spot the warning signs early.

Common Signs of a In-Ground Sprinkler Leak:

  • Soggy patches or standing water

  • Low water pressure in certain zones

  • Unusually green or lush areas

  • Bubbling water near sprinkler heads

Quick Inspection Tips:

  1. Turn on each zone: Watch for uneven spray, puddles, or bubbling.

  2. Check sprinkler heads: Look for cracks or misalignment.

  3. Inspect the soil: Soft, saturated soil often indicates underground pipe leaks.

  4. Look for water pressure drops: This may signal pipe cracks or loose connections.

How to Fix Minor Issues:

  • Replace damaged in-ground sprinkler heads.

  • Tighten loose fittings.

  • Patch small pipe cracks with repair couplings.

  • After repairs, test the system thoroughly.

Prevent Future Leaks:

  • Regular system checks

  • Keep sprinkler heads clear of mower damage

  • Adjust settings seasonally for optimal pressure
