Find the leak before the water bill does.
Locating hidden leaks in sprinkler mainlines and zone lines using pressure tests, flow checks and careful excavation, then repairing them.
- First step: Meter and mainline pressure test
- Narrowing: Zone by zone isolation
- Dig: Small, exact excavation
What it is, and why it matters.
A hidden leak shows up as a soggy patch, low pressure, a high water bill or a meter that moves when nothing is running. We isolate the system, check the meter, test the mainline and zones separately and narrow the leak down by section before we dig, so the excavation is small and exact.
Mainline leaks run all the time the supply is on, while zone leaks only show when the zone runs. In Nashville's clay soils, water travels along trenches, so the wet spot is often far from the actual break. We follow the evidence, fix the break and test the system to confirm it holds.
Four things done right.
Methodical isolation
Meter, mainline, then each zone.
Small, exact digs
We do not trench the whole yard.
Clean repair
Proper fittings and compaction.
Verified fix
We re-test before we leave.
From first visit to irrigation leak detection.

Irrigation Leak Detection: common questions
How do I know if my irrigation system is leaking?
Soggy or unusually green patches, low pressure, hissing at the valves or a water meter that moves when everything is off are the classic signs. We test to confirm.
Is a leak always visible?
No. Many leaks are underground and travel along the trench, so the wet spot may not be where the break is. That is why we test in sections.
How do I get a price for irrigation leak detection?
