irrigation leak detection sacramento

A thorough inspection to identify any visible problems.

To locate the irrigation supply line. While our equipment can’t detect non-metalic lines, PVC irrigation lines are often run with tracer wire. When that’s the case, we will track and mark out this line.

To verify the integrity of the high-pressure supply line, running from your domestic water source to the irrigation control valves.

For precise leak location, we use an ultrasonic listening device that detect the sound of CO2 escaping from breaks.

If the leak is on the low-pressure side of your system, we may need to remove and cap sprinkler heads, or excavate to expose buried valves. This is a time-consuming process and we always recommend that you or your landscaper cap off the affected, leaking zone, if possible to minimize expenses. Our technician then performs a second pressure test on the low pressure side, locating the area of highest readings.
