Sprinkler Leak Detection in Roanoke, Texas
Quiet leaks in Roanoke clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Roanoke shows Mid-Cities dry zones after heat waves.
Oak St / 114
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 Roanoke lawns fail this way
Roanoke 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 Roanoke has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.
