After lightning struck I have a lot of continual leaking (when pump is turned on) from multiple heads. Should I focus on replacing heads (maybe damaged by steam) or trying to find valves and checking/replacing them? Or something else?
I greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Re: Lightning Strike Help
If you have simultaneous leaks from different heads in a zone, the problem is almost surely with the valve for that zone. It is unlikely that heads would have been damaged in a lightning strike (as the heads have no electric parts), but quite likely that the valve solenoid could have been damaged.
