Common questions
How much does sprinkler repair cost in the DC area?
It depends on the problem, number of zones, parts and whether digging is needed. Many companies charge a service call plus parts. See the cost guide, then request quotes.
When should I winterize my sprinklers?
Many homeowners schedule a blowout in the fall before the first hard freeze. Fall is busy, so booking early helps. See when to winterize.
Is backflow testing required?
Requirements vary by water utility and jurisdiction. Check with your water utility or local government. We don't give guidance on requirements.
Can you fix a system someone else installed?
Most irrigation companies service systems they didn't install. Mention the controller brand if you know it.

No. Requesting quotes is free and there's no obligation to hire anyone.
