Irrigation Leak Detection in Ames, IA

Irrigation Leak Detection in Ames, IA

Irrigation leaks are the most expensive leaks people ignore, because the water disappears into ground that is supposed to be wet.

Ames, IA Leak Detection locates irrigation and sprinkler leaks across Ames, IA. The meter test comes first with the irrigation valve closed and then open, which tells us immediately whether the loss is inside the house or out on the system. From there we pressure test zone by zone, then locate the break acoustically or by tracing the line.

Common failures are specific: a cracked lateral from a shovel or a root, a valve that weeps constantly, a broken head buried under grass growth, and a main line to the manifold that has been leaking since the system was installed. A single stuck valve can run thousands of gallons a month with no visible symptom beyond one greener patch.

We repair what we find and check the rest of the system while we are there, since the same install often produced more than one problem.
