Sprinkler Leak Detection in Granite Bay, CA

Irrigation leaks are sneaky. The pipe is underground, so by the time you notice a wet spot, a mushy lawn, or a scary water bill, water has often been running quietly for weeks. Finding the source fast saves both water and your yard.

Signs you've got a leak

• A wet or soggy spot that stays damp even when the system's off.
• A sudden jump in your water bill with no change in habits.
• Low pressure or weak spray — water is escaping before it reaches the heads.
• Water bubbling up from the lawn, a valve box, or near the meter.
• Erosion, sinking soil, or unusually lush grass in one spot — a plant's-eye view of a buried leak.

How we find it

We pressure-test the system zone by zone to isolate where the water is escaping, then narrow it down to the exact fitting, pipe, or head at fault — instead of digging up half your yard on a guess. On our local clay, leaks often show at glued fittings that have shifted with soil movement, at cracked poly pipe, or at a mainline joint. Once we pinpoint it, you get an honest repair price up front.

The repair

Most leaks are a targeted fix — replace the cracked section or bad fitting, backfill, and you're done, often the same visit. Bigger mainline breaks take more, but we always quote before we dig. We test the whole system again afterward to confirm the leak is gone and your pressure is back to normal.
