Underground Pipe Leak Detection & Sprinkler Line Repair – Troy, MI
Is Your Lawn Flooding or a Zone Losing Pressure? You May Have a Broken Line.
A broken sprinkler pipe can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause soft spots, flooding, or sinkholes in your yard. At Troy Sprinklers, we specialize in leak detection and underground irrigation pipe repairs, using both advanced tools and decades of local experience.
How We Locate Broken Pipes
-
Visual Signs: Soft ground, bubbling, or erosion
-
Auditory Clues: Using an acoustic leak detector, we listen for underground hissing
-
Pressure Testing: If one zone is losing pressure, we isolate it and test for rapid pressure loss
-
Dye Testing (if needed): We use biodegradable dyes in rare cases to locate surface leaks
Once the break is found, we cut and replace only the damaged section of pipe, minimizing lawn damage.
