Common underground leak clues
An underground irrigation leak can be easy to miss, but a few signs often show up before the problem gets worse. Look for:
- Wet or soggy spots that stay damp even when it has not rained
- Unusually low water pressure in one or more zones
- Higher water bills without a clear explanation
- Sprinkler heads that do not pop up fully or spray unevenly
- Patches of grass that are too green or growing faster than the rest
If you notice one or more of these issues, the leak may be in a buried line, fitting, or valve connection. Underground problems can waste water quickly and may also damage soil and plant roots.
What to do next
