How do I find my irrigation valves?

Start at that sprinkler and try to find the valve nearby. The cheapest and easiest way to find buried irrigation valves is often to probe the soil with a thin rod, such as a long screwdriver. Often you can estimate the rough location of the irrigation valve, then find a buried valve box by probing the ground.Click to see full answer. Also know, will a metal detector find sprinkler valves?Metal detectors can find sprinklers heads and valves without a problem because they have some parts that are made out of metal. Some sprinkler heads don’t have enough metal in them or they are buried too deep.Secondly, how do I find a sprinkler head without water? How to Find Buried Sprinkler Heads Turn on your sprinkler system using its controller. Measure the distance between active heads using a tape measure. With the entire sprinkler system activated, identify blind spots in coverage. Probe blind spots with the tape measure and spade. Then, how do I know which sprinkler valve controls which zone? Mark each valve with a white paint marker to indicate a zone number that it operates. For future use, make a diagram of your sprinkler system on paper, showing the location of each valve box, each valve and the area it irrigates.Why is my sprinkler valve box full of water?If your valve box is full of water, does it mean your lawn sprinkler system is leaking? It might! Perhaps, it’s just been rainy, and your sprinkler valve box is retaining water due to our clay soils. Or maybe, there’s a leak upstream that’s trickling into the box.
