What issue are you seeing with your sprinkler controller?
Are the valves having other problems?
For example, are they not turning on, and that's why we need to find them? Are you just finding them for peace of mind? Or suspecting a possible problem, but you're not sure if it's the valves or something else?
How many valve boxes are you missing?
We will charge based on how many boxes we need to find. If you have 4 valves but they're all in one box, you only pay for one location. If you're not sure how many boxes are hidden, just click not sure.
wHAT CITY DO YOU LIVE IN?
Is the low pressure affecting the whole system or only part of it?
Have you noticed any leaks?
Does the problem stop when you turn off the sprinkler controller?
The most common answer to this question is no.

Which of these issues best describes your valve?
How deep is the shut-off valve?
Deeper valves require more digging and backfilling, so this is an important factor in determining the cost.
What city are you located in?
Is the head within 5 feet of a tree?
This helps us to estimate how difficult it will be to dig it up.
Is this a rotating sprinkler head or a stationary spray sprinkler head?
Rotating sprinkler heads are larger and thicker, and shoot a single stream or multiple streams. A spray head just sprays out a lot of water over a smaller area.
Is the leak in a valve box?
If it is, replacing the valves and piping inside may be necessary.
Is the leak near concrete or near a tree?
This helps us to estimate the amount of time it will take to dig.
Is the leak constant, or only when the sprinklers are running?

How Many Zones do you have?
Most residential property sprinkler systems in Utah have 6-8 zones, also known as stations.

Do You Have A Winterization Port?
A winterization port is just a piece that we can hook our air compressor to. If you winterize your system regularly, the answer is probably yes. If your system has a filter, a backflow preventer, or a hose spigot anywhere on it, that will work as a winterization port.

Online Price Estimate Information
The estimate accounts for the type of work you’re looking to do and the way sprinkler systems actually vary across Utah homes. It uses the information you provide about the issue or project, along with property context and common labor and parts patterns we see every week in Utah County and Salt Lake County. This allows us to give ranges that reflect reality instead of artificially low numbers designed to win a click.
The estimate also accounts for the fact that sprinkler problems are often about access and root cause, not what you can see from the surface. A “simple leak” might be a shallow fitting fix, or it could be a deeper mainline issue that requires careful excavation and restoration. Because of that, our estimator is designed to give realistic ranges rather than pretend every job costs the same.
Finally, the estimate accounts for how pricing works across the Utah market. Many sprinkler companies charge time and materials at roughly $100–$200 per hour plus parts, while Storm Sprinklers uses flat-rate pricing once the scope is confirmed in person. The estimator bridges that gap by giving you a clear range up front and removing as much uncertainty as possible.
When an On-Site Assessment Is Needed
An on-site assessment is needed when the scope of work cannot be confirmed remotely with confidence. Electrical issues, intermittent valve failures, unclear leak locations, or multiple symptoms across different zones are common examples where the correct repair can only be identified through testing on site. In these cases, guessing remotely would be misleading rather than helpful.
On-site assessments are also necessary when access or layout may affect labor. Narrow side yards, buried valve boxes, mature tree roots, hardscape edges, or prior DIY digging can all change how a repair must be performed. Once we can physically see and test the system, we move from price ranges to a firm flat-rate quote that does not change unless the scope changes.
Sprinkler Repair, Installation, and Maintenance Costs in Utah (2026 Pricing Guide)
Sprinkler Repair Price Ranges
Sprinkler repair pricing in Utah is mainly driven by repair difficulty, system access, and what component failed. Small repairs—like sprinkler heads, drip tubing, minor leaks, or solenoids—often fall in the tens to low hundreds, while moderate repairs such as pipe leaks, valve work, or electrical troubleshooting typically land in the mid-hundreds. Larger repairs that require deep excavation or significant restoration can climb into the low thousands. Taken together, the average sprinkler repair cost in Utah in 2026 is about $450, though many common repairs come in well below that.
Sprinkler head repairs and drip fixes are among the most common and affordable services. Spray head replacements generally range from $50 to $200, while rotor head replacements often fall between $85 and $215, depending on access and whether digging or riser corrections are needed. Simple drip irrigation fixes—like repairing a small line leak or replacing emitters—can be as low as $15 to $95, while larger drip repairs involving pressure regulation or section rebuilds trend higher. Valve- and electrical-related repairs vary more widely: solenoid replacements commonly range from $100 to $175, valve rebuilds are often around $155, and wiring diagnostics or repairs typically fall between $240 and $635 depending on testing time and access.
More complex repairs carry broader price ranges due to labor and materials. Pipe and fitting leak repairs commonly range from $275 to $700, largely based on depth and location. Backflow repairs vary by type, with pressure vacuum breaker repairs often in the $485 to $980 range and reduced pressure assemblies ranging from $900 to $1,600+. Stop-and-waste valve repairs are usually the most expensive residential sprinkler repairs, commonly ranging from $1,750 to $2,750, because excavation and restoration are the main part of the job. For homeowners looking to better understand these costs, a detailed pricing guide can help compare typical repair ranges across Utah without relying on guesswork.
New Sprinkler System Installation Costs
The cost to install a new lawn sprinkler system in Utah typically ranges from $4,500 on the low end to $12,000 on the high end for residential properties. The fastest way to narrow that range is to use our online estimator tool on this page, because square footage, layout, slope, and water source all have a meaningful impact on cost.
Water source is one of the biggest Utah-specific factors. Culinary water connections, which are common in older areas like parts of Provo and Salt Lake City, often require deeper trenching, more expensive fittings, and sometimes backflow protection. Pressurized secondary irrigation water, which is common in newer areas like Saratoga Springs, Santaquin, Lehi, and Bluffdale, is often less expensive to connect to because it is shallower and simpler, and it typically costs less to operate long term.
Installation pricing is also affected by yard shape and obstacles, not just yard size. A simple square lawn is much easier to irrigate efficiently than a narrow strip, curved layout, or property with heavy landscaping and garden beds. We offer financing on all installation projects over $500, including 0% interest options when available, so homeowners can choose the right system without cutting corners.
Sprinkler Maintenance & Winterization Costs
Tune-ups are priced consistently because the scope is predictable. Our tune-ups start at $199 for members of our maintenance plan, or $249 for non-members. with a modest increase for systems with more than six zones since larger systems require additional testing, adjustment, and documentation.
Winterizations are also straightforward. Our winterizations start at $149 for members of our Storm Shield maintenance plan, or $175 for non-members. with pricing increasing slightly for systems with more than six zones to ensure each zone is properly blown out and protected from freeze damage. Proper maintenance is one of the best ways to prevent larger and more expensive repairs later.
For customers who rely on us each year to turn on their system in the spring and to blow out their sprinklers in the fall, we offer yearly maintenance plans starting at $349, making maintenance easy and convenient.
Property & System Factors
Access is the single biggest factor in sprinkler pricing. Repairs in open turf areas are usually simpler than repairs under roots, hardscape, or tight planting beds, because excavation and restoration take more time and care. System condition also matters, as well-labeled valve boxes, consistent parts, and intact wiring, which makes things much easier to work on than systems with buried components or mixed brands.
Water source and city infrastructure play a larger role in Utah than many homeowners realize. Culinary and secondary systems behave differently, require different components, and create different long-term maintenance patterns. Prior DIY attempts can also affect pricing, as partial digging often does not provide enough access for a durable repair and still requires additional excavation.
Labor, Parts, and Warranty Differences
Labor cost matters because technician skill matters. Lower hourly rates often correlate with lower technician pay, less training, weaker diagnostics, and more return visits, which can increase total cost over time even if the initial quote looks cheaper.
Parts costs have increased in recent years and affect every contractor. Reliable companies stock quality parts so jobs can be completed in one visit, and that preparation is reflected in pricing. Warranty strength also changes pricing, as companies offering multi-year warranties and free return visits are building long-term responsibility into their business model rather than disappearing after the check clears.
Why Sprinkler Prices Vary in Utah
Sprinkler prices vary in Utah because irrigation systems are hidden infrastructure, and no two systems are truly identical. Two homes right next to each other can have completely different valve layouts, pipe depths, water sources, and repair histories, all of which affect how work must be performed.
How Our Pricing Works
Our pricing is designed to make sprinkler shopping easier and less stressful. We aim to give you enough clarity online to plan and enough clarity on site to commit with confidence.
Up-Front Ranges and Options
Up-front pricing starts with ranges because remote quotes should be honest about uncertainty. Once we’re on site and can confirm access, depth, and root cause, we provide a flat-rate quote that does not change unless the scope changes. Technicians typically present good, better, and best options so you can balance cost, longevity, and performance.
We charge small service call fees on repairs so we can send skilled technicians and spend the time needed to diagnose problems properly. These fees typically range from $0 to $100, may increase slightly with demand or distance for edge areas like Eagle Mountain and Santaquin, and are not charged for tune-ups, winterizations, or installations. Diagnostics are free regardless of how long they take.
No Pressure, No Surprise Charges
No-pressure service means you can get a price without feeling trapped. We moved away from diagnostic fees because customers disliked the feeling of sunk cost, and we replaced them with simple service fees so homeowners can get help without obligation.
No-surprise pricing means clear communication. If the scope changes, we explain why and present options before moving forward. Flat-rate pricing also means you are never penalized for a job taking longer than expected, and you are not paying for extra trips caused by poor preparation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the online estimate?
The online estimate is most accurate when the issue is clear, such as a broken head, visible leak, or known controller replacement, and less precise when problems are intermittent or hidden. Its purpose is to give a realistic starting range rather than an artificially low number that changes later. Accuracy improves as more details are provided and is finalized during the on-site assessment.
Is the estimate binding?
The estimate is not binding. All prices provided online or over the phone are subject to on-site confirmation, and final pricing may change if the inspection reveals different conditions, access requirements, or additional scope. Once the scope is confirmed on site, the flat-rate quote is firm unless the scope changes.
Do I have to book after getting a price?
You do not have to book after getting a price. After completing the estimator, you will receive an email with your estimate and a link to book online if you choose to move forward. Commercial irrigation pricing follows a separate process and should be requested through our commercial irrigation page.
Pricing Disclaimer
All prices provided online or over the phone are non-binding estimates and are subject to on-site confirmation. Final pricing may change if the on-site inspection reveals different conditions, access requirements, or additional scope beyond what was described.
