🌱 Top 5 Signs Your Lawn Has an Underground Leak

A lush green lawn is every homeowner’s dream, but what if your yard is trying to tell you something’s wrong beneath the surface? Underground leaks in your sprinkler or irrigation system can cause costly damage if left untreated. Here are the top 5 signs your lawn might have a hidden leak:

1. Unusually High Water Bills💧

If your bill suddenly spikes but your water use hasn’t changed, it’s often the first clue there’s a leak underground.

Top indicators of an underground lawn sprinkler leak include high water bills, soggy spots, extra-green grass patches, weak water pressure, and sinkholes.

2. Mushy or Soggy Spots in the Yard 🌧️

Constantly damp or swampy patches—even when it hasn’t rained—can mean water is pooling from a broken line.

3. Random Patches of Extra-Green Grass🌿

Leaks often overwater one area, making it greener, taller, or growing faster than the rest of the yard.

4.Weak Water Pressure🚿

If your sprinklers aren’t spraying as strongly as before, a leak could be robbing your system of water before it reaches the heads.

5. Unexplained Sinkholes or Depressions 🕳️

Leaking water can wash away soil underground, causing uneven ground, dips, or even small sinkholes.

👉 Pro Tip: If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait! Underground leaks waste water, damage your property, and drive up costs. A professional inspection can save you money (and your lawn).
