It is a rigid pipe so cutting out the damaged section and trying to place a new piece in is extremely difficult. I watched Massey do a repair on my damaged line. They had a rigid piece of pipe that telescoped longer when put in place and glued the ends in place to the existing rigid lines. I guess if you dig a big enough hole really big you might be able to move the piping to install a standard pvc pipe and 2 couplings. good luck |

I found several grown over spray heads... among other issues over the last year. The project is warranted and overdue....and its huge. But then....I'm retired!!

The result is not a straight line but it doesn't matter given the amount of water pressure running thru the pipe. I like the 4 90's cause it keeps it in the same medium family. I need to know that the repair will be long term without any doubts. When I fill in that hole I don't ever want to re-visit it again. Peace of mind goes a long way towards easy sleeping.

I'll be leveling/replacing every spray head and that is going to open up a ton of opportunity for sand getting into the system....

Nice project. I’d highly recommend you switch to a smart irrigation controller if you haven’t. We love the Rachio which updates schedules based on weather and is also available with a leak detector.

I had a soggy planter area that no one could figure out what was wrong until I dug deeper and found the pink pipe also with 2 gash marks in a new home. The builder sent out people to fix it so was lucky. There must be a lot of careless installation with landscape plumbing.

Make sure there are no stones, rocks or other debris touching the pipes.
I had to replace a section that was resting on a rock about the size of a baseball. It eventually wore a hole in it. Good luck with your endeavor.. |
