What Happens When a Sprinkler Line Gets Damaged During Fence Installation? We Make It Right.

Fence installation sometimes brings unexpected surprises underground—like unmarked sprinkler lines. At Texas Fence, we believe in being upfront about what can happen and more importantly, how we handle it when it does.

Sprinkler Lines Can Be Tricky

Sprinkler systems are often installed without a formal map or accurate documentation. Homeowners may not know exactly where the lines are buried, especially if they weren’t the original owners of the home. And since sprinkler lines typically run near fence lines, there’s always a small chance they could get hit during fence post digging or replacement.

We do everything we can to avoid these situations, but when sprinkler lines are unmarked or buried very shallow, it can still happen.

No Fuss, No Finger-Pointing—Just a Fast Fix

Here’s the difference with Texas Fence: we own it.

If a sprinkler line gets damaged while we’re installing your fence, we don’t pass the blame or send you chasing down a third-party contractor. We send someone out to fix it. Fast. And you won’t pay a dime.

That’s just part of the service.

We know that dealing with unexpected home repairs is frustrating. That’s why we aim to make the repair process as painless as possible. No back-and-forth, no arguing over who’s responsible—just a team that shows up, makes it right, and leaves your yard looking better than we found it.

What You Can Do to Help

While we take care of any damage that happens, there are a couple of things you can do ahead of your fence project to help prevent sprinkler issues:

• Mark your lines if you know where they are. Even rough markings help.
• Let us know about your sprinkler system during your quote visit.
• Tell us if you’ve had previous repairs or new zones added. Those lines may be closer to the surface.

Again, even if none of these steps are taken, we still stand behind our work.

Texas Fence Stands Behind Every Job

Accidents happen. That’s true with any contractor. But what matters most is how those accidents get handled.

At Texas Fence, we’ve built our reputation on doing the right thing—even when it’s not our fault. That’s how we’ve become Houston’s trusted fence builder for over 20 years.
