The irrigation system on the golf course is a little different than the irrigation in a homeowners lawn. We have pressurized lines to each individual head. So when a head breaks, it shoots water out like a fountain. At your house you have a valve manifold that holds the water back until it is opened. Then once opened it runs multiple heads. Unfortunately you may not catch a break until it washes something out or create standing water over night.
A prudent practice would be to head out in your yard over the next month and turn on you irrigation system. It has been quite a while since we have needed to water and as the weather improves and watering becomes necessary, you might catch something before the turf struggles and your flower bed washes into your lawn.
If you have any questions please contact me.
