How it Works

Our repair Process

We make irrigation repair straightforward - from the first call to a fully functioning system

  • Call our office or submit a service request online - we’ll reach out to get you scheduled

  • Our technician diagnoses the problem and gets to work - for larger repairs, we’ll provide an estimate first

  • We complete the repair and run your full system to confirm everything is working

  • We advise on anything else we notice so there are no surprises later

Common repair questions

  • Absolutely. We service all brands of irrigation systems in Omaha, regardless of who installed them - Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, Orbit, and more.

  • A broken head usually shows up as a single wet or dry spot in one area. A valve problem typically affects an entire zone - all heads in that zone will either fail to turn on or won’t shut off. Our technicians diagnose both quickly.

  • Yes - this is one of the most common repairs we do. We locate the cut, access the line, and make a clean repair that restores full pressure to the affected zones.

  • We do our best to schedule service calls promptly. During peak season (spring and fall) scheduling may take up to a week - booking early in the season helps. Call us at (402) 289-4019 for current availability.

What Omaha customers say about our repairs

“Just had an awesome experience with the owner of Alternate Rain today. Went to open my system and was having a problem (thought I knew the solution) long story short I couldn’t find the part I thought I needed. Coming back home saw his truck down the street from my house, quickly found out I didn’t know the problem after all. He came right down and got me fixed up and running in ten minutes. Couldn’t be more impressed.”

— Brian Jacobs

“When I need something done with my sprinkler system, Alternate Rain is the only company I call. The service technician that has come out the last three times that I have needed someone, has been knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure that all of my concerns or needs were met. QUALITY at its best!! I have had a line cut when my fence was put in, I have needed sprinklers adjusted and have needed new ones added. The tech had it all down and done quickly. I cannot say enough good things about Alternate Rain, they provide high quality service at a reasonable price.”
