Not far from Benbrook, residents with newer homes are running into a frustrating problem: irrigation lines that weren’t buried deep enough.
Some have accidentally punctured lines just inches below the surface, while others have sections of piping exposed to sunlight and the elements. This appears to be a common issue in new neighborhoods, often associated with rocky soil and rushed installations.
Homeowners report mixed results when trying to get builders to fix the problem. Warranty claims sometimes result in temporary fixes, such as adding dirt or sod, but the lines often remain exposed. Many suggest reaching out to the irrigation company directly, as builders may pass responsibility along.
If you’re noticing shallow or exposed irrigation lines, it’s worth pushing for a proper fix. Left unattended, these lines risk damage and wear, which could lead to costly repairs in the future. Sharing your experience with neighbors and your builder could help bring attention to this widespread issue.
