Sprinkler Leak Detection in Bedford, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in Bedford, Texas

Quiet leaks in Bedford clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.

Bedford is 77386 HOA turf between Bedford and Bedford. Parkway mowers take the tops off. Builder clocks still run six minutes at dawn. We match heads, split a starving zone, and set night watering.

Leak detection starts at the meter and the backflow. If the meter moves with every valve off, the leak is on the main or the house side. If it only moves when a zone is live, we walk that lateral.

We look for winter (rare here) and summer tells: mushrooms in a ring, ants abandoning a wet spot, a sidewalk that never dries, a hiss at a valve. Acoustic listening helps on long mains. A shovel still closes the file.

High bills in a Bedford August are often a stuck valve watering from 2 a.m. until noon. That is a leak in effect. We treat it as one.

Why Bedford lawns fail this way

Bedford is pine, oak, and sandy loam over a clay contact. Forest lots drain downhill. Irrigation that treats a pine lot like an open Spring parkway drowns the shade and starves the sun. Duff clogs heads. We split sun and shade when we can.

Grass. St. Augustine on HOA parkways, some Bermuda

Houses. 1990s–2010s master-planned, 77386 Typical failures: HOA parkway mowers, overloaded zones, builder clocks still on six-minute cycles

We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Bedford has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.

How a visit works

1. Meter test All irrigation off. Watch the sweep.
2. Zone isolation Open one station at a time.
