A broken underground irrigation pipe in Calgary shows up in three ways: a soggy area of lawn that never dries out, a sudden drop in system pressure, or a wet patch appearing where no sprinkler head exists. When you see any of these signs, a buried pipe has likely cracked or separated. Here is what J.G. Irrigation does to find and fix it, and what it costs.
