I agree with Joe Tucker as I have used him in the past, however for some reason I got ambitious and decided to replace 2 sprinkler heads myself. One went very easy, the other it turned out the leak was not the sprinkler head but the joint about 2 feet away, UNDER the landscaping wall, lots of fun.

Irrigation system repairs cover a variety of items, many of which you might easily do yourself. Perhaps if you gave a brief description of what you sense is needed, and if you have any interest and ability to do some minor repairs, you could get better recommendations.

Just a few thoughts. When you say repair, what comes to mind is the actual nozzles not performing as intended due to aiming, malfunction, breakage, obstruction etc. I am sure that you will find some source that will "tune up" your system at some given cost per sprinkling device.

Some issues such as aiming is likely a simple twisting adjustment, or a simple replacement of a $1 sprinkling nozzle. Obstruction could be sod growing over a sprinkling head and is correctible by removal of the sod over that spot. Other easily correctable obstructions could be plant growth. Perhaps a riser can be easily installed.

I found it worthwhile to map my lawn sprinkling zones, identifying the number, type and location of each sprinkling device by zone as well as any problem associated with any device.

I could go on as could others, but it really depends upon your interest and capabilities.

Otherwise, let others advise as to whom might be able to help. Best wishes.

OP, I pay Massey $40 per quarter to inspect and maintain my irrigation system. Last week, I had a broken sprinkler that needed to be repaired by digging a hole in the ground. Massey came out and repaired it the next day, for no charge. If I didn't have an ongoing agreement, I may have had to make several calls and wait a week or so to get someone to come out and they may have charged me $150 or more. So, to me, it makes sense to have a regular maintenance agreement.

I had a different experience with this company. I think they sold me unnecessary work which included moving several heads. Then, two of the heads which were moved became disconnected from the tubing underground. I can’t recommend due to overselling and poor workmanship.

If you don't have a regular irrigation maintenance service, will someone please comment on how much you would be charged to call a company to repair a sprinkler head that is broken underground and causing a geyser in your yard? I am curious about how easy it is to get someone to come to your house and what they will charge to do an easy repair.

Anything related to a sprinkler system is easy to work on. I buy new better sprinkler heads in bulk from Amazon. It takes maybe 30 mins to replace and adjust a whole head. I bought the few tools that are needed to make the job easier decades ago, but you can also use a fine blade saw to cut pvc pipe, some sandpaper to smooth the cut, and pvc glue. The 1st thing I would do is replace the controller to put in a smart controller that will save you money and water.
