Stop the water now
- Turn the controller to Off. If the water stops, a zone was running and the break is on that zone’s line or a head. It only leaks while the zone runs, so leave the controller off until it is fixed.
- Still running? Close the sprinkler shutoff. Water that keeps flowing with the controller off means a valve is stuck open or the main line is broken. Many homes have a separate shutoff on the line that feeds the valves.
- No sprinkler shutoff? Close the main water shutoff to the house.
- On a private well? Switch the pump off at its breaker.
- Then call us. Tell us your address and what you see.
Leaks and the rules in Friant
We did not find a public water provider listed for Friant. If you are on a private well, a broken line also keeps the pump running, so switch the pump off at its breaker until the line is repaired.
Then call us
Call or text (559) 203-7881. Tell us your address, what is broken and whether the water is off. We’ll get you on the schedule as fast as we can. Our Fresno location is open Sunday through Thursday 5 AM–9 PM and Friday 5 AM–6 PM, and closed Saturday. We serve Friant from there, about 14.7 miles away.
If you reach voicemail, leave your address and what is happening, and we will call you back as soon as we can. Once the water is off, a broken line can usually wait for a scheduled repair without more damage.
Main line or zone line? Why it matters
Your sprinkler main line runs from the water supply to the valves and is under pressure all the time. When it breaks, water runs nonstop until someone shuts it off. The zone lines after each valve only hold water while that zone runs, so a break there floods only during its cycle.
That is why the first step is the controller. If turning it off stops the water, the break is on a zone line. If it doesn’t, it is the main line or a valve stuck open.
If one zone keeps running
One zone running nonstop points at that zone’s valve. A bit of sand under the diaphragm, a split diaphragm or a solenoid that sticks will hold it open. Look on top of the valve: if there is a flow-control handle, screwing it all the way down (clockwise) may close it. If there isn’t, or it doesn’t work, close the sprinkler shutoff.

Our work in Friant
Friant shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and about 11 inches of rain a year, so sprinklers carry most of the watering load.
Friant had 446 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 344 feet above sea level. A census-designated place (not a city).
The 2020 census counted 249 housing units in Friant, and about 78.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 199 housing units per square mile.
Friant was formerly called Converse Ferry, Jones Ferry, Hamptonville and Pollasky.
What the repair involves
We find the break, dig only where it is, cut out the damaged section and repair it with proper fittings. For a stuck valve we clean or rebuild it, or replace it if it is worn out. Then we run every zone and check for other leaks. See sprinkler pipe repair in Friant and valve repair in Friant.
