Sprinkler Leak Detection & Repair in Dallas–Fort Worth
Sprinkler leak detection from Lone Star Irrigation finds the underground leak behind a high water bill or a soggy patch. We isolate the line, then repair it in the same trench.
Signs of an underground sprinkler leak
Irrigation leaks are easy to miss and expensive. The line only pressurizes when a zone runs, so you usually see symptoms before standing water: a water bill that climbed for no reason, one soggy stretch that never dries, a zone that lost its pressure.
The water bill jumped
A meter that spins with everything off is the classic tell. We pressure-isolate zone by zone to find which line is bleeding.
A patch that never dries
Soggy ground on a dry week means a lateral or main is leaking below. Left alone, it undermines walks and slabs.
Weak heads at one end
Pressure loss along a run points at a cracked pipe or failing fitting between the healthy heads and the weak ones.
How irrigation leak detection works
We find the leak by isolating the system section by section, main line first and then zone by zone, and pressure-testing each one instead of digging test holes. A meter that spins with everything off tells us the main is leaking; pressure loss along one run narrows it to the stretch between the healthy heads and the weak ones.
Sprinkler leak repair
Once the leak is located, the fix usually happens in the same trench, on the same visit. You get the price in writing before any work starts, and a 1-year warranty, the same as every sprinkler repair we do. Stuck or leaking valves are covered under sprinkler valve repair.
Leak detection questions
How do I know if my sprinkler system has a leak?
A water bill that climbed for no reason, one soggy stretch that never dries on a dry week, or a zone that lost its pressure. A meter that spins with everything off is the classic sign.
How do you find an underground irrigation leak?
We isolate the system section by section, main line first and then zone by zone, and pressure-test each one. That finds the leaking line without digging test holes.
Can you fix the leak on the same visit?
Usually. Once the leak is located, the repair happens in the same trench, on the same visit, with the price in writing before any work starts.
Every week a leak runs,
you're paying for it twice.
