What should I check today if the system won't turn on?

First confirm the controller has power and that the circuit breaker or GFCI outlet has not tripped. Check that the controller's program and rain sensor settings are not blocking a run. Then check that the main water supply valve is open before assuming underground damage.

Is a tripped breaker or controller problem a cheap fix?

Yes, a reset or controller repair is often far cheaper than other fixes. Controller and wiring repairs are common causes when a system will not power on. A pro can test these before recommending any excavation.

When would a valve or pipe repair be needed?

A malfunctioning sprinkler valve commonly costs $125 to $225 to replace, while complex valve projects can run $300 to $400+. Broken pipe repair is often $150 to $400. Major underground leaks or full rebuilds can cost $600 or more.

What should I ask for when hiring a pro for a rental?

Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance and get a written quote before work begins. Ask whether a service call fee of $75 to $150+ includes the first hour of labor. Confirm the quote covers the diagnosis as well as the repair.

Quick answers

Could it just be a tripped breaker?

Yes, a tripped breaker or GFCI outlet is a common cause when the controller has no power. Reset it and check the controller display before calling for service.

Is this a cheap fix or a new system?

Most non-working systems need a targeted repair rather than a new system. Minor irrigation repairs can start as low as $50, while a full new system typically costs $1,800 to $5,200.

Do you service rental properties specifically?

Can you diagnose this over the phone?

A phone call can help narrow down power and controller checks, but a local pro needs to inspect the valves and wiring to confirm the fault. Omaha Sprinkle can connect you with one at (402) 765-4562.
