Irrigation Medics is an irrigation and sprinkler system repair company based in Gainesville, Georgia, working Hall County and the Lake Lanier communities alongside the Gwinnett and North Fulton corridor. We diagnose and repair any brand of controller, valve, rotor or spray head, on systems we did not install, and the first hour on site is diagnosis plus repair time rather than a diagnostic fee.
Most irrigation companies are landscaping companies that also do sprinklers. We are the other way round, and it changes how a visit goes: diagnostic equipment and repair parts ride on the truck, so the common faults get found and fixed the same day rather than scheduled for a return trip.
What we actually do on a call
The method has three steps, in this order, every time.
| Step | What happens | Why it is in this order |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnose | Run the zones, isolate the real fault — controller, wiring, valve, solenoid, head or line | Symptoms and causes are not the same thing. A zone that will not start has at least eight possible causes, and repairing the wrong one costs you a second visit |
| Repair | Fix it on site where parts on the truck allow, with an estimate given before any work or digging | Most common irrigation faults are made of stocked parts. Carrying them is the difference between one visit and three |
| Tune and test | Coverage, pressure and run times set properly, then every zone run and confirmed before leaving | A repaired zone in a badly scheduled system still wastes water. And a technician who does not run every zone does not know what they left behind |
That last row matters more than it sounds. A good share of the repeat callouts in this industry happen because a second fault was sitting in the same system, unnoticed, while the first one got fixed. Running every zone at the end of a visit is how you find it then rather than next month.
What we repair
Irrigation, comprehensively — not a shortlist.
Irrigation and sprinkler repair
The general diagnostic-first visit for a system that is not doing what it should.
Read more → ◉Underground leak repair
Wet spots, bubbling ground, a meter that moves with everything off.
Read more → ⬡Valves and solenoids
Zones stuck on, stuck off, or valves nobody can find.
Read more → ✳Heads, nozzles and coverage
Broken heads, misalignment, relocation, coverage corrections.
Read more → ◷Controllers and timers
Repair, replacement, programming, and smart controller upgrades.
Read more → ⚡Wiring and electrical faults
Cut wires, shorts, blown fuses, multi-zone failures.
Read more → △Low pressure
Weak throw, misting, zones that will not reach.
Read more → ✶Inspections and tune-ups
Zone-by-zone checks, seasonal startup and winterization.
Read more →Systems can also be modified rather than only repaired — heads relocated after a landscaping change, coverage corrected, zones added, and new systems installed where that is the right answer. And because the same properties need the rest of it, there is landscape, hardscape, drainage and landscape lighting work available too, which is useful when a repair turns out to be a drainage problem wearing a sprinkler costume.

How we price it
Published, and the same across the service area.
| Item | Rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| First hour on site | $125 | First hour on site, diagnosis plus repair time |
| Each additional hour | $80 | Each additional hour, billed as worked |
| After hours and emergency | Port-to-port plus $125 | Evenings, weekends and emergency dispatch |
| Parts | Billed separately | Parts are billed separately. You get an estimate before work begins. |
The structure is deliberate. Charging for time on site, with the first hour covering repair as well as diagnosis, means a simple fault costs what a simple fault should cost. It also means we are not incentivised to find something expensive. See the cost guide for what specific repairs run in this market.
A service-area business, and one piece of housekeeping
Irrigation Medics is a service-area business based in Gainesville with no public storefront. Worth stating plainly, because there are old third-party directory records that attach the Irrigation Medics name and this domain to an address in Charleston, South Carolina, and at least one that attaches it to North Carolina. Those are legacy listings rather than locations. This company operates in North Georgia, and 770.335.8595 is the only number that reaches us.
Where we work
Two connected markets rather than one radius on a map:
- Gainesville / Hall County. The Gainesville core, the Lake Lanier shoreline communities and the South Hall corridor down Interstate 985 through Oakwood, Flowery Branch and Braselton.
- Gwinnett County / North Metro. The Peachtree Industrial and Buford Highway corridor from Norcross and Peachtree Corners north through Duluth, Suwanee, Sugar Hill and Buford.
- North Fulton / Forsyth. North of the Chattahoochee River across Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell, plus the Forsyth County side of Lake Lanier through Cumming.
See the full service area, and the irrigation help section for plain-English answers to the questions that come up most on site.
About Irrigation Medics
Gainesville, Georgia. It is a service-area business rather than a storefront — technicians and stocked vehicles come to the property, which is how irrigation repair works. There is no retail counter to visit and no branch office in each city.
Yes, and that is most of what we do. We diagnose and repair any brand of controller, valve, rotor or spray head regardless of who put the system in or how long ago.
The other way round. Irrigation repair is the core of the business, and the landscape, hardscape, drainage and lighting work exists because the same properties need it — not because sprinklers are a sideline. A repair-first company carries diagnostic equipment and repair parts on the truck, which is why most common repairs get finished on the first visit.
Diagnosis, then repair, then testing. A technician runs the zones, isolates the actual fault rather than the symptom, gives you an estimate before any work or digging begins, repairs it on the spot where parts on the truck allow, and confirms every zone runs before leaving. The first hour is $125 and covers first hour on site, diagnosis plus repair time.
Not this company. There are old third-party directory listings that attach the Irrigation Medics name and this domain to a Charleston, South Carolina address, and some that attach it to North Carolina. Those are legacy records, not locations. Irrigation Medics operates in North Georgia from a Gainesville base, and the only phone number that reaches us is the one on this site.
Hall County and the Lake Lanier communities, the Gwinnett corridor from Norcross and Peachtree Corners north through Duluth, Suwanee and Buford, and North Fulton and Forsyth — Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell and Cumming. Rates are the same across the whole area. See the service area.
