We restore water damage 24-hours a day in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! Our teams in Hawaii and Maui respond to water damage emergencies throughout the year in Kailua-Kona. Leaking in-ground sprinkler systems can damage your home’s foundation and waste thousands of gallons of water each month. Here are some tips for finding leaks in your sprinkler system:

• Find your main sprinkler system valve and shut it off
• Once you shut off the sprinkler system valve, look at the low flow indicator on your water meter. If it keeps moving, the water leak is inside your home.
• If the low flow indicator stops moving, the leak is in your main sprinkler system pipe
• To check for visible irrigation system leaks, turn off your sprinkler system valve and wait at least two minutes. This allows the main sprinkler system pipe to refill with water.
• Go to your controller and turn on the zone. Go to the zone you turned on and listen for water running.
• Do you see water bubbling up from the ground? Are there any wet spots or pooling of water?
• Look for broken sprinkler heads in the zone. If water is not hitting the target area or flowing out of the sprinkler heads, you will need to replace the sprinkler heads.
• Repeat this process for each zone in your irrigation system
• Call a certified irrigation contractor if you can’t fix the problem by replacing the sprinkler heads
