Irrigation Leak Detection & Repair
Find and fix hidden leaks before they become expensive problems.
Underground irrigation leaks are often invisible until significant damage is done. Water migrating through the soil can erode landscape beds, saturate root zones, and even affect nearby structures. Irrivive uses pressure-based diagnostics to isolate and locate leaks with minimal disruption to your yard — so we can get in, fix the problem, and get out without tearing up your landscaping.
What's Included
- Underground leak pinpointing without unnecessary digging
- Lateral line and mainline break repair
- Compression fitting and coupling replacement
- Pressure testing before and after repair
- Valve box and manifold leak inspection
- Backfill and surface restoration
Common Signs You Need This
- Soggy or muddy areas that stay wet between watering cycles
- Water bills that have increased without explanation
- Low pressure in one or more zones
- Sunken or soft ground near irrigation lines
- Water bubbling up from the lawn or landscape bed
- Meter running when no fixtures are in use
Why It Matters
Even small leaks waste hundreds of gallons and can undermine your foundation or hardscape. Finding and fixing leaks early prevents bigger problems.
Our Process
Trent isolates each zone and uses pressure testing to narrow the leak to a small area before any digging happens. You get an upfront repair price. We dig only where needed, repair the break, backfill, and re-test the system under pressure to confirm the leak is gone.
What Affects the Price
Every job is quoted upfront before any work begins. These are the factors that shape the cost — never a surprise invoice.
- Whether the leak is on a mainline vs. a lateral line
- Depth and location of the buried line
- How much excavation is required to reach the break
- Type of fitting or pipe needed for the repair
When to Schedule
Leaks often surface in late spring when systems are first pressurized, and in mid-summer when water bills expose hidden losses. Late-season leaks (September) are urgent — they need repair before winterization.
Irrigation Leak Detection & Repair — FAQ
How do you find an underground leak without digging up my yard?+
Trent uses zone isolation and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak to a small area, so excavation is minimal and targeted — not a trench across your lawn.
My water bill spiked — is it a leak?+
A sudden, unexplained increase is a strong sign. If your meter moves when no water is running, you likely have a leak. Call (720) 580-2721 to schedule a diagnostic.
Can a small leak really waste that much water?+
Yes. Even a pinhole in a pressurized line can waste hundreds of gallons a week — and in drought-surcharge districts like Highlands Ranch or Aurora, that directly raises your bill.
Do you repair the leak or just find it?+
Both. Trent locates the leak, gives you an upfront repair price, and fixes it the same visit whenever possible.
