Pipe Leak Repairs
Finding and fixing underground line leaks without tearing up more yard than necessary.
What it covers
What pipe leak repairs involves.
Underground irrigation leaks rarely announce themselves. They show up as a soft patch, a green stripe in dry weather, a zone that's lost pressure, or a water bill that climbed with nothing changed.
Not every wet patch is a broken pipe — a failed head, a stuck valve or a grade problem can look almost identical. So we confirm the cause first, then isolate the leaking section and rebuild it properly with the correct fittings for the pipe material.
Included in the scope
- Locating and isolating the affected section
- Zone isolation and pressure testing
- PVC pipe repairs and section replacement
- Poly pipe repairs with barbed fittings and stainless clamps
- Replacing failed fittings, risers and swing joints
- Pressure re-testing, backfill and ground restoration

Warning signs worth checking
If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth getting an assessment — most of the cost is in the underlying cause, and it's usually cheaper to fix before it spreads.
- 01A soggy patch or soft spot in the lawn that keeps coming back
- 02Water use that jumped with no change to the schedule
- 03A zone that's lost pressure or sprays short
- 04Air, dirt or grit appearing at the heads when a zone starts
- 05One strip of lawn greener and faster-growing than the rest
- 06A wet area that spreads every time that zone runs
Why have it done properly
What you get out of it.
Doing this work well isn't complicated — it's just unforgiving of shortcuts, which is why the details below are the ones that matter.
Stops the water loss
An underground leak keeps running quietly under the soil, wasting water and money with nothing visible above ground.
Protects the grade you built
Constant subsurface water softens soil, undermines paving and can seep toward foundations. Fixing the pipe removes the source.
Keeps the excavation small
Isolating the section first means exposing only the pipe that needs work, not trenching the whole run.
How it runs
The process, step by step.
Every estimate is free and every visit is on-site. Nothing is ordered or scheduled until you've seen the number.
- 01
Confirm it's the pipe
We run and isolate each zone to rule out heads, valves and grade problems before anything gets dug up.
- 02
Narrow the section
Pressure testing and observation identify which part of the run is losing water.
- 03
Expose and rebuild
Only the affected section is uncovered. The failed pipe is cut out and replaced with the correct fittings for PVC or poly.
- 04
Re-test and restore
The zone is pressurised again to confirm the repair holds, then soil and turf are put back and the site is cleaned up.
