We Fix It Right The First Time
Irrigation problems rarely fix themselves — a leaking head wastes hundreds of litres per cycle, a stuck valve floods a zone overnight, and a faulty controller can run your system in the middle of a rainstorm. The longer a problem is left, the more it costs in wasted water, plant damage, and potential pipe damage.
Our technicians arrive with a fully stocked service van carrying the most common repair parts for all major brands. Most repairs are completed in a single visit — no waiting for parts, no second trip.
- Full system diagnostic before any work starts
- Upfront quote — no surprise invoices
- Fully stocked service van — most repairs done same visit
- All brands serviced — Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro & more
- 90-day labour warranty on all repairs
- Hydrawise smart controller troubleshooting included
System Running Non-Stop?
A stuck open valve or broken main line can flood your yard and spike your water bill fast. If you have water running continuously from your irrigation system, shut off the main irrigation supply valve and call us immediately for priority scheduling.

What We Fix
Irrigation Repair Services
From individual head replacements to full zone diagnostics — we handle all irrigation maintenance and repair across Metro Vancouver.
Sprinkler Head Replacement
Broken, cracked, sunken, or worn sprinkler heads replaced with the correct head type and nozzle for your zone. We match arc, radius, and precipitation rate.
Book Repair
Zone Valve Repair & Replacement
Valves that won't open, won't close, or are leaking. We repair or replace solenoid valves, diaphragms, and bonnets — or replace the entire valve assembly if needed.
Book Repair
Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Underground leaks, broken laterals, cracked fittings. We locate the leak, excavate, repair the pipe or fitting, and test the repair under pressure before backfilling.
Book Repair
Controller Repair & Programming
Controller not running, wrong schedule, zones misfiring, display issues. We diagnose and repair all controller faults — or replace with a new Hydrawise WiFi unit.
Book Repair
Pressure Problems
Low pressure causing poor coverage, high pressure blowing heads. We diagnose pressure regulation issues, check the PRV, and adjust or replace pressure regulators as needed.
Book Repair
Hydrawise Troubleshooting
Hydrawise not connecting, zones not responding via app, wiring faults. As certified Hydrawise specialists, we diagnose and fix all smart irrigation system issues.

Problem Symptoms
What's Wrong With My System?
Common symptoms and what they usually mean — we diagnose everything on site.
Water Won't Stop
Zone valve stuck open, torn diaphragm, or debris in the valve seat. Shut off your main supply valve immediately.
→ Valve repair or replacement
Zone Won't Turn On
Faulty solenoid, broken wiring, failed valve, or controller wiring issue. May be isolated to one zone or multiple.
→ Electrical or valve diagnosis
Low Pressure / Poor Coverage
Underground leak, clogged filter, too many heads on one zone, or PRV issue reducing supply pressure to the system.
→ Leak detection or pressure test
Water Pooling in Yard
Underground pipe or fitting leak. Water follows the path of least resistance — pooling may appear far from the actual break location.
→ Leak detection & pipe repair
Head Spraying Wrong Direction
Head has rotated or arc has shifted due to ground movement, frost heave, or foot traffic. Common after winter and spring.
→ Head realignment & adjustment
Controller Not Working
Power failure, programming loss, display fault, or a wiring short causing the controller to malfunction or skip zones.
→ Controller diagnosis or replacement
Dry Patches in Lawn
Clogged nozzles, sunken heads, misaligned arcs, or a zone not activating properly. Coverage gaps are often subtle until the lawn suffers.
→ Coverage inspection & adjustment
Hydrawise App Issues
WiFi connection dropped, zone not responding via app, wiring fault on a zone, or controller needs firmware update.
→ Hydrawise specialist diagnosis

Our Process
How A Repair Visit Works
From your call to a working system — here's what to expect when you book a repair with Hudson.
1
Book & Describe
Call or contact us online. Tell us what you're seeing — we'll ask a few questions to bring the right parts and help narrow down the cause before we arrive.
2
On-Site Diagnosis
Our technician runs each zone, checks all components, and performs a full system diagnostic. We identify all issues — not just the obvious one — before quoting.
3
Quote & Approve
We provide an upfront repair quote covering all identified issues. You approve what you want fixed — no work starts without your sign-off.
4
Repair & Test
Repairs are completed and every zone is re-tested under operating pressure. We don't leave until the system is confirmed working correctly.
Common Questions
Maintenance & Repair FAQ
Everything you need to know about getting your irrigation system repaired.
How quickly can you come out for a repair?
We aim to schedule most repair calls within 3–5 business days during the irrigation season. For urgent issues such as a zone that won't shut off or a visible water leak, call us directly — we keep emergency slots for urgent situations and will do our best to get there quickly.
Do you charge a call-out fee even if I don't proceed with the repair?
Yes — our $95 diagnostic visit fee covers the technician's time, travel, and full system assessment. This fee is credited toward your repair cost if you proceed with the same visit. If you choose not to proceed, the diagnostic fee still applies for the time and expertise involved in the assessment.
You service all brands?
Yes. We service Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, Orbit, Irritrol, and most other residential and commercial irrigation brands. We are Hunter University certified which means we have specialized training on Hunter products including Hydrawise controllers, but we have extensive experience across all major brands used in Metro Vancouver.
Do I need to be home for the repair?
For most repairs you do not need to be home, as long as we have access to your controller, valve boxes, and the affected areas of your yard. For larger repairs or those requiring access inside the home (basement shutoffs, etc.) we'll confirm with you beforehand. We'll always send you a repair report and invoice by email when work is complete.
Is there a warranty on your repair work?
Yes. We provide a 90-day labour warranty on all repair work, and a 1-year warranty on underground pipe and fitting repairs. Manufacturer warranties apply to all new parts installed. If a repair fails within the warranty period, we return at no additional labour charge to make it right.
My zone runs fine but my lawn is still dry — what's happening?
This is usually a coverage issue rather than a zone failure. Common causes include heads that have settled or tilted, nozzles that are partially blocked, arc settings that have shifted, or heads that are spaced too far apart. We can perform a full coverage audit and adjust all heads to ensure every part of your lawn receives adequate and even water distribution.
