Sprinkler Leak Detection in Coppell, Texas
Quiet leaks in Coppell clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.
Coppell HOA parkways lose pop-ups all season.

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 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 under commercial turf. A shovel still closes the file.
High bills in an Addison 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 Coppell lawns fail this way
Coppell HOAs planted St. Augustine in strips that get mowed every Saturday. Summer watering keeps the top of the soil wet, so pipes stay shallow and heads hide in the grass. Builder timers still run six minutes every morning. Night watering with rest between cycles is the fix — plus heads that match each other.
