So, if you have a broken sprinkler head that requires digging a hole and replacing an extension or gluing a pipe together, who do you call, how quickly can they respond, and what will they charge for a 15 minute repair? I have heard that some of these irrigation experts are not immediately available, and they may charge $150 to $200 for a one time system service call. Massey checks the system 4 times per year for $40 each visit, and does minor repairs for a very minimal charge. They are usually available to make a repair within a day or so. They may not be the best, but they do provide peace of mind that you have someone who is accountable on a regular basis. The problem with sprinkler systems is that they can start to leak at any time, and no irrigation expert can prevent it from happening.
