There’s a patch of ground that never quite dries, even between watering days. Or water bubbles up every time one zone runs. Those details help us track a sprinkler leak. Tell us when the water appears, and we’ll help narrow down the source.

Watch when the water appears
You might see a puddle during a cycle, soft ground on a non-watering day, or a low head that keeps dripping. Note whether the water stops when the zone shuts off.
Why leaks behave differently
The pipe feeding a zone usually has water flowing through it only while that zone runs. The supply line can stay pressurized with the timer off. A brief trickle from a low head may be leftover water draining; continued flow can point to a valve that isn’t sealing.
If the ground keeps getting wetter
Turn the controller off and see whether the leak stops. If water continues, close the dedicated irrigation shutoff only if you know how to operate it safely. Don’t force an unfamiliar valve or use the utility’s meter shutoff.
Find the source, then plan the repair
We narrow down the leaking section, check valves and connections, and discuss how to reach the repair before digging. The pipe material and location determine the repair options. We check the repaired section under pressure and in operation before covering it back up.
A leak repair with a clear explanation
Chris B.’s Google review describes a visit with Fernando and Trevor. He said Trevor explained the causes of the leaks and the repair needed, and Fernando reviewed the finished work and invoice. The review does not specify the pipe material or repair location.

Three steps to getting it sorted
- Call or text with your city and what you’ve noticed. A photo helps if the problem is visible.
- Arrange a system check. Talk through the cause, repair options, and pricing before deciding on the work.
- Go over the result and ask what to watch for between visits.
Does a leaking head always mean the head is broken?
No. The lowest head may drain water left in the pipe, or a leaking valve may keep feeding it. Replacing that head without checking the cause can leave you with the same wet spot.
