Sprinkler Leak Detection in North Dallas, TX

Sprinkler Leak Detection in North Dallas, Texas

Quiet leaks in North Dallas clay look like rain. We start at the water meter, then open only the wet spot.

North Dallas pockets near Addison share the same clay dry-zone pattern.

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 North Dallas lawns fail this way

North Dallas 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 North Dallas has city sidewalk rules or an HOA standard, we follow it. Utility lines get marked before every cut.
