Hi, My neighbor had a fence installed in the back yard. The company installing the fence determined that where the fence would go was over what we thought was our property line. The homeowners before us installed an invisible fence and irrigation. When I came home the fence I discovered that the company installing the fence had broken an irrigation pipe and the invisible fence line. The installer showed me his where he put the stakes and the property line and I told him that he hit our irrigation and invisible fencing. The neighbors weren't home so I couldn't discuss the issue with them. Later they were very apologetic and said that where the fence goes isn't important and they would have been fine with moving it over. But it is too late now.
I am trying to get the irrigation repaired. How do I determine whose information is the correct? Invisible fence is willing to split the cost of repairing the line which is acceptable to us. The irrigation company isn't wiling to budge on the cost and I need to determine if I should move the whole line over to avoid future issues.

First off, as mentioned, you need a survey.
I would ask, because it sounds like it, why would you have to pay anything to repair damages caused by a 3rd party to your property?
If the stuff isn't on your property it will likely get more complicated.
I'm surprised the installer didn't just fix it to end the situation. I mean it is a tube that you just put a connector on. The hardest part is digging the hole down. and the wire is pretty much the same but an easier fix. If they can install a fence they can do those two things. How are they sure that what they marked as the property line was indeed the property line? Seems they should have done the survey or the homeowner should have. But really this is one of those fixes that they could do for less than $10 in materials versus a few hundred from the "professionals".
Everyday it seems, I'm surprised all over again by folks not understanding what a survey is or means when they go installing stuff along the edges of their property.
Either their fence guy is wrong, or your invisible fence/irrigation guys were wrong.

Agree completely. I would think the fence installer would either a) know how to make these repairs or b) have someone on speed dial who could as I would expect this happens weekly for them, especially since dig safe isnt going to point out sprinklers or dog fences.
When I had a fence installed at my last house, installer cut the cable wire digging one of the holes. He had the TWC guy there in less than an hour to fix the breakage.
