Sprinkler repair in North St. Paul
In North St. Paul we repair sprinkler systems at homes and businesses alike, whether one head is snapped off or a whole zone stays dry.
Repair covers the whole system: the "controller", the box on the garage wall you probably call the timer, the valves and wiring under the green lids, the lines in the ground and the heads in the turf. You tell us the symptom, a soggy strip by the walk, a head that never rises, a station that skips its turn, and we cycle each station from the controller and walk it until the cause shows itself.
Timing matters more here than most owners expect. The yards from Gladstone to Hoffmans Corner wake up together in spring and shut down together in fall, so start-up calls arrive in one rush and blow-out calls in another just ahead of the first hard freeze. A call made a few weeks before either rush is the surest way to get the date you want, and a repair found on that visit is fixed while we are there.
The houses set the work too. Half the homes in North St. Paul were built in 1973 or earlier, and the irrigation on a lot that age has often been added to, extended or patched over the years. On a street near Neumann's Bar or out by the parks, we expect a mix of older heads and newer parts, and we repair that mix rather than assume the system has to go.
Before any digging, you hear the full price for the job, and nothing gets added afterward.
Sprinkler service through the North St. Paul season
Spring brings the start-up, summer the tune-up and fall the blow-out, and any fault one of those visits uncovers gets repaired.
Plenty of owners follow the usual advice of three service calls each year: turning the system on in spring, tuning it mid-season and winterizing it in fall. Repairs fit around those calls, or ride along with any of them.
Here is what any of those visits can include:
- Any visitSprinkler head repairSnapped by a mower blade or scraped by a snowplow, a head is swapped for a matching one, and a "nozzle" spraying the drive is cleaned or turned back onto the grass.
- Any visitLeak repairWater standing in a "valve box", or turf that squishes underfoot, leads us to the split pipe or loose fitting; we dig it, patch it and set the sod back.
- Any visitValve and controller repairWhen a station refuses to come on, or refuses to shut off, we check its valve, its wires and the timer one by one.
- SpringSpring start-upThe "start-up": water eased back in, the "backflow preventer" tested, each station run and the controller programmed for spring.
- FallFall blow-out"Winterization": compressed air pushes the water out of the lines ahead of the frost, so nothing is left in a pipe or valve to freeze and split.
- Each visit here is part of the repair and seasonal work Rainmakers Irrigation does across the area, all on one page:sprinkler repair

Absolutely great company to deal with .I was quoted by a different company that I needed a whole new irrigation system rainmakers came out and fixed a leak and replaced two sprinkler heads and got my system up and running and saved me $2700.00 dollars .if you need irrigation work done give them a call there an honest family owned local business.
Glenn with Rainmakers Irrigation is super cool, awesome and trustworthy. We are in Woodbury and almost the whole block on our street goes to Rainmakers for sprinkler installation, general maintenance, winterization, and spring startups. Their services are top notch, responses are timely, and prices are affordable. I would recommend Rainmakers Irrigation to anyone who is out shopping for a service provider to install, expand, or service an irrigation system.
Always responsive...Always Fast...Always done right. LOVE THESE GUYS.

Sprinkler questions from North St. Paul owners
Before booking a repair, owners here tend to ask the same few things, and short answers follow.
Jump straight to the one you have:
Can an old sprinkler system be repaired?
Usually, yes: an older system is often repaired and fitted with newer, more efficient parts, and minor adjustments often fix the problem and avoid the cost of a whole new system. That smaller fix is the first thing we look for, and the signs that a sprinkler system is past saving are on our page on whether to repair or replace a sprinkler system.
What can I do if my sprinkler system isn't working properly?
Check that the controller is on and set, that the rain sensor is not holding the system off, and whether a valve box is full of water. The usual sprinkler system faults and what causes each are on our page of common sprinkler problems. When the trouble remains, give us a call; we work through the stations one at a time, find the failed part and price the repair before touching it.
What is the three-time rule for sprinklers?
It is shorthand for the common recommendation of three service visits a year: the spring start-up, a mid-season tune-up and fall winterization. Each of those stops is a chance to catch a cracked head or a slow leak early, and how long each sprinkler zone should run between them is on our page on how long to run sprinklers.
Is a zone acting up in North St. Paul?
Tell us what the lawn is doing, and we will book a visit, price the entire job up front and leave each zone watering its own patch of grass.
