Start Here: Signs You Need Repair
If your system was working fine and then stopped, you probably need a repair. Common fixable issues include broken rotor or spray heads (often hit by a mower), a stuck zone valve, cracked lateral pipe from settling or freeze damage, and a dead controller or bad wiring connection.
Signs You May Need a New System
If your system is more than 15-20 years old and you are constantly patching problems, it may be more economical to replace it. Other signs: dry spots that never go away despite head adjustments, mismatched head types running on the same zone, or a system that was installed by a previous homeowner without documentation.
The Cost Difference
A typical repair visit runs $150-$500 depending on what we find and what parts are needed. A full residential installation in the Treasure Valley runs $8,000-$12,000. If repair costs are approaching $1,500 or more, get an install quote and compare.
What a Full Installation Includes
New installs include all pipe and fittings, matched precipitation heads per zone, a smart controller, backflow preventer, and a final walkthrough with zone map. We design the system for your specific yard layout and plant water needs.
Spring and Fall Tip
Idaho's freeze-thaw cycle is hard on irrigation systems. We recommend a professional fall blowout to clear all lines, and a spring startup check to catch any winter damage before you start watering. Both services are fast and affordable.
