We figure it was at least 6 months before anyone noticed in the house.

Check those sprinkler heads and replace them from time to time.
We get our system checked every six months. Joe Tucker, (352) 430-5615. Local guy, I think he's in business alone. First-rate service: last time out he checked the entire system, replaced two sprinkler heads and made sure every sprinkler was aiming in the right direction. Total cost $125.00.
