Irrigation system leak — San Francisco, California
An irrigation system leak wastes water, raises utility bills, and can create soggy areas in your lawn that promote fungal disease and erosion. Leaks can occur at sprinkler heads, pipe joints, valves, or underground lines. A landscaper or irrigation specialist can locate the leak, repair or replace damaged components, and adjust the system for efficient coverage.
