Signs of a Sprinkler Line Leak

As Spring rolls on, more and more people are going to want to begin to turn on their sprinkler system. However, because many of them have not been used as heavily throughout the year, some sprinkler lines will produce leaks. The issue can be a number of things, such as an accidental breaking of the line or simple wear and tear. Finding these leaks is key to reducing the amount of damage that could be potentially done by large masses of water.

Sprinkler Water Flowing Over Street Curb

Perhaps the most obvious signs that your line has a leak is when you begin to notice large amounts of water flowing over the street curb. Your irrigation system isn’t supposed to be producing so much water that it reaches out into the street. In fact, if your city water inspectors notice this, you may be subject to a heavy fine. Therefore, it is incredibly important to contact a sprinkler repair Las Vegas company to ensure that the issue is fixed as soon as possible.

Warping of Your Landscape

When excessive water is piled onto the ground, it begins to warp your soil. Fortunately, you are able to use this sign to find out exactly what area of the sprinkler system line is having a leaking issue. Just follow the soil from its least to most warped areas.

Issues With Water Pressure

Just because you don’t have large amounts of water flowing over the street does not mean you don’t have a leak. One of the first telltale signs that a leak is forming is when you begin to lose pressure. This can be seen either from the mainline or from the sprinkler head itself.
