Irrigation Repair Cost Calculator

Pick what the system is doing, whether it runs on city water or a well, how many zones it has, and roughly how old it is, and this gives you the range we’d quote on the phone. It’s built from the same prices published on the pricing page, not from a lead form, and it doesn’t ask for an email.

One honest note before you use it: the diagnostic visit covers the trip and the first real look at the system, and most single-issue repairs are confirmed and priced during that same visit. What no calculator can see is a second failed part, or whether a “system won’t start” problem on a well-fed property is actually a pump issue rather than a sprinkler issue, which is exactly what the diagnostic visit is for.

What each answer changes

• Symptom picks the likely repair family. A broken head is the cheapest and most common fix. A valve or controller problem costs more but is still squarely sprinkler-side. A wet spot or bill spike could be a small lateral leak or a bigger mainline break, which is why that range is wider. The dry or brown patches page walks through the five-minute check if you want to narrow your symptom yourself first.
• Water source flags whether a whole-system problem might be a well/pump issue rather than a sprinkler issue. It doesn’t change the price of a confirmed sprinkler repair, but it changes what an honest diagnosis might conclude.
• Number of zones scales the likelihood of a second issue and the length of line runs a tech may need to trace, which is why a larger, acreage-scale system carries a small multiplier.
• Age reflects how likely an older system is to need more than a spot repair. Past twenty years, or on an unknown-age system, plan on a conversation about whether the controller or valve set is due for a fuller update rather than a one-part fix.

If the number looks reasonable, send it to the form with one click and the tech arrives already knowing what you saw. If your symptom points toward the pump or well side and you’re not sure, the irrigation pump and well-system troubleshooting page explains exactly how we draw that line, and what an honest referral looks like versus a sprinkler-side repair.
