Call a plumber. I've installed a few irrigation systems, one on a golf course. There is no special training to maintain or install them. Only special equipment to install them.
A sprinkler co. is going to be the most expensive fix, next probably a full service landscape co. I think I would give a plumber a shout out. It can't hurt. (actually, I think I would look for a retired plumber who does "odd"/side jobs.)
