Take Your Best Shot

The irrigation system continues to throw punches and doesn't show any signs of letting up soon.  In the majority of the pipe leaks that we have encountered, a repair has been attempted in the past.  We plan to do the best we can to fix each issue so that a return trip will not be necessary for many years to come.  The following are photos of just one of the issues we came across this week.


The Leak





The Broken Pipe- Notice the crack across the top of the gray 3" pvc pipe.  We didn't like how the 2" pipe rested on top of the 3" pipe so we connected both pipes together in a level fashion.


The Fix- concrete has been applied to restrict movement in the pipe and couplers.
