24/7 Irrigation Leak Detection in West Palm Beach.

We find irrigation leaks without tearing up your yard: zone-by-zone pressure testing, acoustic listening, and visual inspection of every head, valve, and line.

Signs your irrigation system is leaking

• One zone barely waters while the rest are fine. Low pressure in a single zone usually means water is escaping before it reaches the heads.
• A stripe of overgrown grass following a zone line. When a lateral pipe leaks, the grass directly above that run grows faster and greener in a distinct strip — while the rest of the lawn looks normal. It tracks the pipe’s path, not a random puddle.
• Water pooling near valve boxes. Lift the lid — standing water inside a valve box is a dead giveaway.
• The meter runs with everything off. Shut down the controller completely, then check your meter — see how to check your water meter for a hidden leak. Still spinning? The leak is in the irrigation side.
• Heads that sputter, mist, or don’t pop up. Sometimes it’s just a clogged head — but a whole row behaving badly points to a line problem.

Why irrigation leaks are a Florida problem

South Florida yards live on irrigation. Between HOA requirements, reclaimed-water systems, and watering restrictions from the South Florida Water Management District (most of Palm Beach County is limited to two watering days a week), your system works hard year-round. That means more wear on valves, seals, and PVC lines — and more chances for something to crack, especially where lawn equipment or roots press against shallow lines.

There’s another wrinkle: many West Palm Beach communities run on reclaimed water, and those systems have their own quirks — different pressure, different fittings, and purple valve boxes that a general plumber may never have worked with. Irrigation is its own trade, and leak detection on these systems takes zone-by-zone discipline, not guesswork.

How we find the leak

1. Controller and zone check. We run each zone and map exactly what’s underperforming — weak heads, dead heads, zones that won’t shut off.
2. Isolation testing. By capping zones one at a time and watching pressure, we narrow the leak to a specific run of pipe.
3. Acoustic and electronic pinpointing. For buried lines, we use the same electronic leak detection equipment we use for underground water lines — listening for the exact point where water escapes.
4. Mark and report. You get the precise location marked, so your landscaper or irrigation contractor digs one small hole instead of trenching the whole yard.

No digging from us, no torn-up lawn, no guessing.

What it costs to ignore

A single cracked 1-inch line can waste thousands of gallons a month — and in Palm Beach County, that shows up fast on a tiered water bill. Worse, a leak running for months erodes soil under walkways and driveways, which is how a simple valve fix turns into settled concrete. Finding it early is always the cheaper path.
