Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring irrigation specialists

Do irrigation specialists charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and are often charged separately from on-site labour and materials. Minor diagnostic visits or small repairs may still include a minimum call-out charge, and after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracts higher rates.
