Pipe Repairs

Common Types of Pipe Damage Over Time:

Cracks or Breaks (PVC)

Can happen from tree root intrusion, ground shifting, or heavy foot/vehicle traffic above.

Leads to water pooling, loss of pressure, or dry zones.

Leaks at Joints or Fittings

Caused by aging seals, improper installation, or freezing and thawing cycles.

Often shows up as a mushy lawn or unexpected water usage.

Clogs or Sediment Buildup

Minerals, sand, or debris can block the system — especially without filters.

Causes reduced pressure, uneven watering, or non-working heads.

Pipe Separation

Happens when ground shifts, particularly during heavy rains, drought, or settling of new homes.

Disconnects fittings and creates dry spots or major leaks.

Rodent or Animal Damage

Some animals chew through flexible pipes or fittings, especially in drip systems.

Signs of Pipe Damage to Watch For:

Sudden drop in water pressure

Sprinkler heads not popping up or spraying unevenly

Soggy or flooded patches of lawn

Dry or yellowing areas despite scheduled watering

Hissing or bubbling sounds when the system runs

Unexpectedly high water bill
