What sprinkler pipe & leak repair means in Madera
An underground leak shows up as a soggy patch, a sunken spot, weak heads, or a meter that keeps moving when nothing is running. The leak is rarely where the wet spot is, so we trace the line zone by zone to find it.
We repair broken PVC and poly lines, fittings and risers, and replace damaged runs when patching would not last. We re-test the zone before covering the repair.
A leak left running is waste. Fixing a broken line in Madera is one of the fastest ways to stop paying for water that never reaches the lawn.
