Stop and Waste Valve Leaks
Sprinkler System Shut Off Valves
Stop and waste valves are a common way to separate irrigation water from your main home water line. Leaks are common from either side, or from the stop and waste itself. If you have a leak detected on your water meter but you can't find anything in your lawn, it's probably a leaking stop and waste valve. Usually this happens to valves older than 10-20 years, but it can happen as soon as 4-5 years after installation or sooner, depending on the quality of parts used.
Whether or not you see a puddle at your sprinkler system shut-off valve, you could have a leak. Wondering what's going on? Call us today to get an estimate over the phone at no charge!

Our Happy Stop and Waste Customers
Michael L. - Provo
After confirming an appointment, Austin not only showed up between the given hours, he was on the early side of it. Austin was knowledgable, courteous and very easy to communicate with. He kept me informed of every step in the process and came back at the exact time he said he would. I will definitely contact Storm Sprinklers again when I need repairs.
Todd J. - Orem
I had an excellent experience with Storm Sprinklers. Austin was incredibly attentive and quickly identified the problem. His pricing was very reasonable, and the job was completed swiftly and efficiently. Although he had to dig quite deep to reach the stop and waste, he left everything in excellent condition. I highly recommend Storm Sprinklers. We have had issues with too many companies in this industry and working with Storm Sprinklers has been a breath of fresh air.

A stop and waste valve is the main shut-off valve of a sprinkler system. This is what keeps the sprinkler system water separate from the water supply to the home so that you can turn the sprinklers off for the winter or repairs without turning off the water to your home. You can access the stop and waste valve with a long T-shaped key with a notch on the bottom. Most stop and waste valves are in a PVC tube within a few feet of the home's water meter. It fails from bad installation, low-quality parts, and old age.
The average cost to replace a stop and waste valve in Utah is $1,700-$2,300. The price of this service depends mostly on the location of the valve, which affects the difficulty of digging and the time it takes to complete the stop and waste valve repair.
The time it takes to replace a stop and waste valve in Utah depends on the depth, age, and location of the valve. In easy areas, it can take as little as 4-5 hours. When the valve is in a difficult area, such as under rocks or roots, it can take a full day or even multiple days.
Sometimes! A stop and waste valve leak doesn't always reduce pressure noticeably, but it is a common cause of low pressure in sprinkler systems here in Utah.
A stop and waste valve leaking would give signs such as low water pressure in your sprinkler system, a puddle spot near the stop and waste valve, the tube for the stop and waste filling with water, or even the water meter filling up with water. An easy way to check is to see if your water meter begins counting up when you turn your sprinklers on.
However, lots of people think that their stop and waste valve is leaking when it is just not completely opened. Make sure to open and close it all the way, because partial opening will lead to a constant leak from the stop and waste valve.
