A friend is buying a house in Philadelphia and the inspectors report came back indicating there was a leak in the sprinkler system - and it included this picture.

House built around 2014. Is there anything special about a residential sprinkler system that makes it different from regular plumbing?

I have sweated plenty of copper joints as a diy’er over the years, but I figured i’d suggest he call in a professional here. But does he need a “sprinkler tech” or something like that?

Does the system need to be drained first? Is extra there liability? Even looking for a “sprinkler expert” is hard because all you get are Lawn Sprinkler companies!!!!
