SealedScope
Built for the Trades

Built for Irrigation Pros Who Hit Rocks, Roots, and Broken Mains

You started trenching and hit a boulder field, unmarked utilities, and a mainline that crumbles when you look at it. The client thinks it's all included. SealedScope makes sure every underground surprise is documented and signed before you dig another foot.

Irrigation trenching and sprinkler installation

Every irrigation pro has been burned by this

🪨

You start trenching and hit solid rock or massive root systems. Hand-digging or rock sawing adds days to the job. Client says that should be in the price.

🔧

Existing mainline is old poly pipe that's brittle and leaking everywhere. The whole supply line from the meter to the backflow preventer needs replacing before you can add a single zone.

🌿

Client adds three more zones, drip lines for every garden bed, and a Wi-Fi smart controller after you've already designed the system and started trenching. 'While you're out there...'

Change orders irrigation crews deal with on every job

Rock & Root Removal

$800 - $3,500

Trenching through rock shelves or mature root systems requires specialized equipment like rock saws, extra labor hours, and sometimes arborist consultation to avoid killing trees the client wants to keep.

Mainline Replacement

$1,200 - $4,000

Old poly or galvanized supply lines are failing and leaking underground. The entire mainline from the meter to the backflow preventer needs to be replaced with new Schedule 40 PVC before zones can be connected.

Additional Zones & Drip Lines

$600 - $2,500

Client wants more coverage areas, drip irrigation for garden beds, raised planters, or a separate zone for the vegetable garden. Each zone means more pipe, valves, heads, and wire runs.

Smart Controller & Sensor Upgrades

$400 - $1,800

Client saw a Wi-Fi controller on Amazon and wants it integrated with rain sensors, soil moisture sensors, and flow meters. Programming a smart system is hours of work beyond a basic timer swap.

Unmarked Utility Hits

$500 - $3,000

You cut into an unmarked gas line, cable conduit, or drain tile. Now you're coordinating emergency repairs with other utilities, and your schedule is blown for the day or the week.

Backflow Preventer Replacement

$800 - $2,500

Existing backflow device fails inspection or doesn't meet current code. A new RPZ or double-check assembly plus the re-test and permit fees weren't in the original bid.
