Who should I use to get a good job done on them?

Thank you
If have Hunter system?

When you say leaks not talking about popups stem leaks are you? Most do leak some especially when the pop back down. Valve? Zone turn on? If so the diaphragm probably the problem, there white collar that splits over time jamming up diaphragm so it won’t come on. The diaphragm 7 dollar part only have to take top off to replace it.

Hunter | 33-2100 | PGV Replacement Valve Diaphragm 1 in....

See white plastic collar that will spilt and jam up diaphragm.
