First time fixing a broken sprinkler line

in #dtube5 years ago (edited)


While digging holes for upcoming plants I hit one of our water lines, luckily it was just a sprinkler line but I quickly shut off the main water and got to fixing it. Though my first fix was a patch job and it leaked.

I decided to cap off the sprinklers, after considering the water bill that costs to run these. And the caps are less likely to leak. I show how I did this from start to finish and feels good to know I can repair such things. It took a few hours overall but would have cost hundreds to fix to pay someone else to do it.

I mention a trick to sealing the pipe sealer containers after using so air does not get in and turn them into jelly after awhile. It worked and learned a new trick along with fixing a problem.

Oh yes, I had to do a big plumbing job myself it cost me 1,000 dollars. You did well. Saved you a lot of money doing it yourself.

@cosmiccrimes oh cool you fixed yours as well, thanks for the feedback.. its been holding well since. Sure did, I dont even want to know how much someone would want to fix that.

Everyone should learn to fix broken things. It is not a matter of saving money. It's a matter of own survival.

@akdx so true, Iam a big fan of learning how to fix things.. So I am not dependant on others to do it for me.
