A Valve Box Leak After the Crew Planted Over It
A Denver landscape crew can bury a valve box under new shrubs. The leak then soaks the bed and nobody can reach the solenoid. We uncover the box before we guess.
The valve box disappeared under the new plants
We still get Denver calls for a soggy bed that started the week after a landscape crew finished. The new shrubs look lush. The valve box is gone under mulch and a five-gallon pot. A leak at that box then runs all night and nobody can lift a lid. This is not a drip fitting under a new bed. It is the manifold you cannot reach.
NationScapes locates and repairs this on sprinkler repairs. If we open a trench, photograph it before the bed closes. That record is already covered in mark buried repairs before the beds grow back.
A leak you cannot reach is a landscape problem first
Photograph the wet bed, the controller, and where the box used to sit if you remember. A meter that moves with the system off still belongs in the notes. Do not keep running the zone on May minutes while the box is flooded. That clock story is August 24. Lighting cable in the same bed should stay on the same map: landscape lighting.
Towns include Littleton and Parker. New layout after we restore access sits under installation only when the plants are staying and the box has to move.
What to send
Photos of the wet bed, when the crew finished, and whether you can still find any box lids. Call 303-934-9130 or contact us. More reading is on the blog.
Uncover the Denver valve box the crew planted over. Then the leak is a fitting, not a mystery swamp.
