Sprinkler Leak Detection in Northlake, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in Northlake, Texas

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

Northlake new-builds settle and snap laterals.

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 Northlake lawns fail this way

Northlake is Mid-Cities watering: clay that breaks pipe, St. Augustine and Bermuda that want a soak, North Texas storms that wipe timers, and mowers that take every proud pop-up.

We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Northlake 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.

4. Open only the mark Repair, test, restore.
