I accidentally poked a hole through my flowerbeds underground irrigation hose. I found the hole
and moved the mud and rocks out of the way. Now I need to know how to seal it permanently.
It's hard to get to and I'm having trouble keeping it dry. It is 1" to 1 1/2 " in diameter and about
10 " in the ground. Thanks for any suggestions. I was so glad to find this — I know you are
calling it an irrigation "hose" but if it is permanently buried underground it is really much more
likely to be plastic sprinkler/irrigation pipe. Before you can do anything you will need to
determine: 1) whether it is hose or pipe. (and the type if possible) 2) from material it is made. 3)
the actual size. Pipe is sized differently than hose, and requires DIFFERENT fittings. If you still
have access to the installer, they may be able to give you specifics. If not, try having a local
sprinkler/irrigation installer look at the pipe to estimate the repair. If nothing else they should be
able to identify whether it is a pipe or a hose and the material from which it is made,just by
looking at it. If that is not possible, you will need to try to size the "hose" yourself. Most hoses
and plastic pipe are marked on the length of the outer surface with product information, so if you
unearth enough of it you might be able to get the size and material information that way. If not
acurately measuring the OD may help identify the size, as pipe OD's are all standard sizes. If all
else is impractical, and you are only dealing with household water pressure (approx. 100 PSI),
you may be able to get a pipe repair clamp to seal it if it is pipe. If it is hose you will need to cut
out the area around the leak, and in stall a mender or fittins and a new section of hose.
