Leaking Sprinkler Valve — Diagnosis & Repair

Valve leaks can show up at the valve box, through sprinkler heads after a zone shuts off, or as unexplained wet areas.

What Can Cause It?

Possible causes include debris, worn diaphragms, seals, fittings, solenoids, cracked components, pressure problems or a low-head drainage condition that resembles a valve leak.

What to Check First

Look for obvious leaks or broken components and note which zones are affected. Avoid repeatedly increasing runtime to compensate for a mechanical or distribution problem; that can waste water and overwater other parts of the zone.
