I'm totally new to sprinkler repair and I recently punctured one of my pipes while I was digging out a stump. I learned how to fix the line and did so but now one of the sprinkler heads isn't getting any water. My house is on the top of a slight hill and the street is maybe 3 feet lower than my house. The place where I fixed the line is at the top near the house and the sprinkler head that's not getting any water is the one at the bottom by the street. All the heads in between are working fine.
I removed the head and made sure there were no blockages and even tried running the water with the head removed. Nothing came out of the pipe so I'm pretty sure there is a blockage in the line somewhere.
Is this something I should try to fix? I can't think of any way of doing myself other than digging up the piping in between the last working sprinkler and the clogged one and slicing out portions of the line until I find the clog. These heads run along a narrow strip of grass so I think they're all getting water off the same line.
Is there a better way or is it time to call in a professional?
Thanks, Dave
