Hiring us
Who should I call for sprinkler repair in Spokane?
Call Revive Irrigation Services at (509) 986-4262. Owners Brad Bartlett and Joe Coutu each have more than 20 years on Spokane sprinkler systems, the business holds a 5.0 rating from 56 Google reviews (as of October 22, 2026), and it was a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave in 2023. A technician finds the problem and fixes it, most often the same visit.
Full answerDo you work on old sprinkler systems?
Yes. Older and oddly built systems are a big part of what Revive does. Brad and Joe each have more than 20 years on Spokane systems, and reviewers mention old systems they "always figure out and fix", hidden valve boxes found in minutes, and a poorly installed system upgraded with good coverage and zoning.
Full answerHow long does it take to install a sprinkler system?
One to three working days for most Spokane homes. Larger or trickier lots can stretch to four or five days. The best time to install is between spring and fall when the ground is workable; on a rebuild, irrigation goes in after grading and before sod, seed or planting.
Full answerWhat happens on the estimate visit?
For a new system or an addition, we walk the yard with you, talk about how you use it now and later, and lay out zones. You get a written estimate at no charge. Repairs and startups work differently: they are billed by the service call. The technician gives you a good estimate, and the final cost depends on what the job turns up.
Full answerWho owns Revive Irrigation Services?
Revive Irrigation Services is owned by Brad Bartlett and Joe Coutu. Each has more than 20 years on Spokane sprinkler systems, and they worked together for about 15 years at another Spokane irrigation company before starting Revive in 2023.
Full answerDo you give free estimates for fire-damaged sprinkler systems?
Yes. For homes affected by the Spokane Complex fires, Revive inspects the system, pressure tests what is testable, and writes a line-item estimate for your insurance adjuster at no charge, with no obligation to use us for the work. Ask about discounts for first responders and fire victims when you call.

Full answerRepairs and troubleshooting
Why won't my sprinkler zone shut off, and who fixes it?
A zone that keeps running or seeping after the controller turns it off almost always has a valve problem: a torn diaphragm, debris stuck in the valve seat, or a failed solenoid. Close the main irrigation shutoff to stop the water, then call (509) 986-4262. In the Spokane area a leaking zone valve repair typically runs $100 to $250 as of 2026.
Full answerWhy won't my sprinklers turn on?
Start with the controller, its power supply and the main water valve. When the whole system is dead, the cause is usually power, the controller program, or a closed main valve. When just one zone is dead, it is almost always that zone's valve, solenoid or wire. If those checks don't find it, call (509) 986-4262 and a technician will trace it.
Full answerStartups and blowouts
When should I winterize my sprinklers in Spokane?
Aim for October 1 to 15. Light frost can show up in Spokane as early as late September, and the first hard freeze, the kind that cracks pipe and backflow brass, typically arrives by mid-October. Booking in September gets you your pick of dates.
Full answerDo I need to be home for my sprinkler blowout?
Usually not. The crew needs access to the irrigation shutoff, the backflow assembly and the controller, plus unlocked gates. If the controller is inside the house or garage, let the office know when you book so we can plan for it.
Full answerWhen should I turn my sprinklers on in Spokane?
Most years the safe window for a spring startup in Spokane runs from about April 15 to May 15, after the last hard freeze. If snow is still on the ground or overnight lows are dipping below 28 degrees, wait. Open the main valve slowly, over 30 to 60 seconds, to avoid water hammer.
Full answerDo I need a backflow test on my sprinkler system?
Yes, if your sprinkler system connects to a public water supply. Washington requires the backflow prevention assembly to be tested at least once every 12 months by a state-certified Backflow Assembly Tester, with results filed with your water purveyor. A residential test in the Spokane area typically runs $60 to $120 per assembly as of 2026.
