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.
What’s actually broken?
Water that stops when the controller is off: a broken head, a cracked riser or a split zone line. Annoying, but it only leaks during that zone’s run.
Water that keeps running with the controller off: a main-line break or a valve that won’t close. Both run around the clock, so shut off the supply right away.

Raisin City: what to know about leaks
We did not find a public water provider listed for Raisin City. 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.
Zone stuck on?
When a zone won’t stop, the valve is the usual culprit: grit under the diaphragm, a tear in it, or a solenoid that won’t seat. Some valves have a flow-control handle on top; turning it fully clockwise can shut the zone. If not, close the sprinkler shutoff and leave it closed until the valve is repaired.
Our valve won’t shut off guide walks through it.
What the repair involves
The repair itself is usually straightforward once the water is off: find the exact spot, dig the minimum, splice in new pipe and fittings, or service the valve that stuck. We finish by running the whole system. See sprinkler pipe repair in Raisin City and valve repair in Raisin City.
