Before and after
What the homeowner called about
We were already working with this Owasso homeowner on another repair when the underground sprinkler line turned out to be leaking too. The tech's note: "Dig up and repair sprinkler line. It's going to be 1-inch PVC."
What our plumber found
Trystan and Josh dug down to the line at the wet spot and exposed the leaking section of 1-inch PVC. Underground sprinkler leaks often show up as a soggy patch, a sunken spot, or a water bill that doesn't make sense.
How we fixed it
We cut out the damaged section and rebuilt it with a 1-inch telescopic repair coupling, two 1-inch PVC couplings and two feet of new 1-inch PVC pipe, then backfilled.
A telescopic repair coupling is the right part for a buried line. It slides to bridge the gap after the bad section is cut out, so we don't have to dig up more yard to get slack in the pipe.
A leak in the yard isn't always a slab leak
In Owasso we also see leaks under the slab. On a different Owasso job, water was coming up under the kitchen cabinets, and the fix was a reroute rather than breaking up the floor (slab leak reroute in Owasso). Knowing where the water is coming from is step one.
What this means for your home
- A wet patch that doesn't dry out is worth a look before summer watering season.
- Sprinkler lines are usually shallow PVC, and a clean coupling repair is often all it takes.
- Find your sprinkler shutoff so you can stop the leak while you wait.
- If you see water inside the house, shut off the main and call us.
Your price is flat-rate and upfront before work starts. More on leak repair in Owasso.
