In courtyard villas, the nextdoor neighbor has several sprinklers located under the eave of their neighbor's house. If one of these sprinkler heads breaks, it can shoot a geyser of water that hits the roof eave and water gets into the attic and trickles down into the house. This can also happen if any sprinkler head sprays water at the roof eave. I don't know if this is the same situation. I cannot think of another situation where sprinkler water would get into a house, except maybe if it is spraying water at a window. Sprinkler pipes are not located under the house.
