IRRIGATION – Five Star Leak Detection

IRRIGATION SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE AN IRRIGATION LEAK?

We are an authority at commercial irrigation leak detection. Locating a small leak in a large irrigation plumbing is both an art and a science all in one. We are experts at locating hard to find leaks before they create some serious damage to your parking lot or business. In order to locate those leaks we use a variety of tools: ultrasonic listening device and a plumbing pressurizing system to name a few. While some leaks can be found by landlors, most of them unfortunately require professional expertise.

Here are some signs of an irrigation leak:

A gushing water spout would indicate a broken spray head or leak in the irrigation line. A leak in the irrigation line would cause a significant change in water pressure, causing the water to shoot up into the air.

Flooded areas between sprinkler heads can be a sign of a slow and steady leak in a lateral line beneath the ground surface. Water spurting between sprinkler heads means a lateral line below ground has broken and has blown out the soil above it.

Water trickling steadily out of an irrigation head long after the irrigation system has turned off could indicate a leaking- or weeping- valve below ground. The diaphragm seal may have worn out and water is seeping freely through 24/7. It could also mean the valve is clogged, preventing it from fully closing.

Taller grass or grass that is darker around a sprinkler head than the rest of the lawn could mean a pipe below ground is cracked or broken, and is over-saturating the area.

Water dribbling over the curb can be a sign of over-irrigation or poor drainage. It could also mean you have a broken irrigation head.

Slimy fungus forming on an adjacent curb could mean a slow irrigation leak, unless you are over-irrigating the area. Obviously, slow leaks will turn into big problems if not repaired.

A fan-shaped alluvial sediment deposit on the sidewalk is caused by water transported soil, and could be a sign of a broken irrigation head.
