Sprinkler leak repair
Sprinkler System Inspection
Ground that stays wet long after a cycle ends, or grass browning in one strip, is where a sprinkler system inspection starts. Each midseason visit from TradeWind Irrigation covers the alignment of every head along with the condition of your pipes and valves. Clogs, leaks, and worn parts cause most of what shows on the surface. Misaligned heads and tired valves waste water and spread it unevenly across the lawn. More than three decades of service stand behind every check we make. Findings come with a clear walkthrough, so you understand the problem and our recommendation. Catching a small fault during a sprinkler system inspection saves you the time and money of a major repair later on.

What Causes a Sprinkler Leak?
Worn parts, freeze damage, and weak joints are the common causes we find during sprinkler leak repair. Trouble usually starts in one of these places:
- Pipes, valves, and heads worn down by years of use.
- Water left in the lines over winter, which can freeze and crack parts.
- Joints that lose their seal over time.
- Broken heads and faulty valves that let water escape at the surface.
One area stays damp long after the system shuts off
Water keeps running in a zone while the system is off
Soft or sunken ground above a pipe line
Weak spray or low pressure across one zone
Water bubbling up near a sprinkler head
A water bill that rises for no clear reason
What Steps Go Into a Leak Repair?
Tracing the water back to its exact source is how each sprinkler leak repair begins. Bubbling water at the surface often calls for broken sprinkler head repair rather than pipe work. Damaged pipes and fittings get fixed or replaced, and we run the system to confirm the leak has stopped. Constant water in one zone, even with the system off, can point to a fault that needs sprinkler valve repair. Regular sprinkler system maintenance finds worn parts and small drips before they turn into bigger leaks. Blowing the lines clear each fall removes the water that would otherwise freeze and crack pipes over winter. Many of the technicians at our lawn irrigation company have served the same customers for more than 20 years.

Sprinkler System Inspection FAQ
- Can a sprinkler system leak when it is turned off?
- Yes. Constant water in one zone while the system is off often points to a valve that no longer closes fully, which we fix with sprinkler valve repair.
- Can winter cause sprinkler leaks?
- Yes. Water left in the lines can freeze and crack pipes and parts. Blowing the lines clear each fall removes that water before the first freeze.
- Is a wet spot always a broken pipe?
- No. Bubbling water at the surface often comes from a broken head, while a wet zone with the system off can be a valve. We trace the water to its source before we decide on the repair.
