Irrigation Leak Detection in British Columbia
Irrigation systems run dozens of metres of buried line, valves and heads across a property — and a single cracked line or stuck valve can leak continuously without ever showing on the surface, wasting water and driving up the bill.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Irrigation leak detection locates leaks in buried sprinkler and landscape watering systems — supply lines, zone valves, manifolds and heads — using acoustic, pressure and tracing methods. Because irrigation leaks rarely surface and run on timers, they're often the hidden cause behind a high-consumption notice or a soggy patch of yard.
- Cracked or split buried supply and zone lines
- Leaking or stuck zone valves and solenoids
- Broken or sunken sprinkler heads and risers
- Freeze-damaged lines after winter
Why It Matters
Stops continuous water loss that inflates every bill
Protects landscaping, hardscape and foundations from saturation
Identifies freeze-vulnerable runs before the next winter
Irrigation Leak Detection — FAQ
Each zone is pressure-tested to isolate the leaking run, then acoustic and correlation methods locate the leak on the line to within a short span — so a single targeted dig reaches it instead of trenching the whole system.
Often, yes. Irrigation leaks run on timers and underground, so they show up as high consumption rather than visible water. If your bill rose and the house checks out, the buried irrigation system is a prime suspect.
