The rear bank of sprinkler vavles started leaking right before the
shutoff valve and the gardenersw wanted $700 to fix it and add two
valves up front.
I decided to tackle it myself.
When we had out front yard redone I added a main shutoff valve and a
pressure reducer. I laso bought a large cover.
Well, someone wasn't paying attention that day. Luckily with a little
cutting and digging (not by me) it is reachable. This way you don't have
to shut of water to the whole house.
It wqas leaking in a couple of places but mostly on the far left where
the coupler is. This also allowed me to continue to the front yard.
Looks like a pro did this.
Up front I added two more valves. One for the front and one for the back
hill.
Unintended sprinklers were found when switching on the water. I had to
dige deep in mud and tree roots to cut them and cap them off.
