Sprinkler System Leak Detection Calgary: Finding and Fixing Underground Irrigation Leaks

Underground irrigation leaks in Calgary are common and often go undetected for weeks or months — driving up water bills and killing lawn sections while homeowners assume it is a watering scheduling issue. J.G. Irrigation's IA-certified technicians diagnose underground leaks using pressure testing and zone-isolation methods. Most underground leaks are located and repaired on the same visit.

Signs You Have an Underground Irrigation Leak

• Soggy patch in lawn that never dries: The most obvious sign — water is pooling underground and saturating the soil above a pipe break. Calgary clay soil absorbs slowly, so saturation stays visible for days.
• One zone showing noticeably lower pressure than others: A partial pipe break or fitting failure bleeds pressure before water reaches the zone heads — heads that should pop to full height stay partially extended.
• Calgary water bill significantly higher than previous summer: A 1/4-inch crack in a Calgary irrigation lateral can discharge 100-200 gallons per zone cycle — a silent water cost that accumulates quickly over a season.
• Zone runs full cycle but lawn section not getting water: Water is exiting at the break point rather than at the zone heads — the zone appears to run normally from the controller but the heads are getting no pressure.
• Sinkholes or ground depression forming: Pipe break with high flow has washed soil away underground — the surface depression appears after several weeks of undetected leaking.
