Short of calling someone out to do it, does anyone have any tips on finding buried lines, zone solenoid valves and wires in a yard irrigation thing?
Got 7 zones (stations) finally got all the sprinkler heads fixed or replaced and zone 1 (the most visible part of the front yard of course) quit working and I have not been able to find but 2 of the 7 solenoid valves.
I know the master solenoid valve works and I know where it is. Zone 1's nearest sprinkler to that master is just 3 feet from the master but that doesn't mean anything. I've learned that the vales can be anywhere. Diggin up the whole front yard ain't much of an option..
Zone 1 WAS working a few weeks ago. Just suddenly stopped and I haven't done any dirt work anywhere that might have cut a line.
