What Is a Stop & Waste Valve?

A stop and waste valve is a specialized shut-off valve used in many irrigation systems. It’s typically installed below ground between your home’s water supply and the sprinkler system. This valve allows you to shut off the water to your irrigation system while automatically draining out excess water from the lines—making it easier to winterize and preventing freezing damage.

Key Functions:

  • Shuts off irrigation water independently of home plumbing
  • Automatically drains excess water from sprinkler lines
  • Prevents pipe bursts in freezing conditions
  • Provides easy access for seasonal maintenance and repairs

Our Stop & Waste Valve Services

We offer complete stop and waste valve solutions for residential and commercial sprinkler systems in American Fork.

1. Installation

Building a new system or upgrading an old one? We install properly sized and positioned stop and waste valves that meet code and ensure easy access for future service.

2. Leak Inspection & Repair

Stop and waste valves are buried underground and prone to corrosion or damage. If you notice pooling water, unusual spikes in your water bill, or pressure drops, we’ll locate and repair the issue before it gets worse.

3. Replacement

Old or faulty valves can fail during the most critical times—usually in the winter. We replace worn or malfunctioning valves with durable, high-quality components built to withstand Utah’s seasons.

4. Seasonal Checkups

We inspect the valve as part of your seasonal irrigation maintenance to ensure it's working properly and not showing early signs of wear, rust, or leaks.

Signs You Need Stop & Waste Valve Service

Because this valve is underground, issues can be difficult to detect without professional inspection. Watch for these common signs:

  • Water pooling near the main line
  • Dripping or seeping water when the system is shut off
  • Sprinkler zones running unexpectedly or leaking
  • Difficulty winterizing the system
  • Unexplained water pressure drops in your irrigation zones

Our Proven Service Process

At Local Sprinkler Pros, we make valve service straightforward and non-invasive whenever possible.

1. Locate and Expose

We accurately locate your existing valve with minimal digging, using site plans or detection tools.

2. Evaluate Valve Condition

We inspect the housing, shut-off function, and waste port to assess wear or failure.

3. Repair or Replace

If the valve is repairable, we reseal or tighten fittings. If it’s damaged or corroded, we install a new valve in the same location—or relocate it for better access.

4. Test and Restore

We run a full system check to verify water flow and drainage, then backfill the area neatly to restore your landscape.

Why Professional Valve Service Matters

Stop and waste valves may seem like a small component, but failure to maintain them can lead to:

  • Frozen pipes during winter
  • Costly mainline repairs
  • Property damage from underground leaks
  • Poor irrigation performance
  • Inability to properly winterize your system

Regular service helps prevent these issues and keeps your irrigation system running efficiently.
