So, I'm currently preparing to lease a property with a sprinkler system that has not been run in at…read moreleast 5 years. Now, I consider myself to be fairly handy guy and am pretty good at working on sprinkler systems when it comes to changing out the heads or replacing pvc pipe, but what I was dealing with in this case, was far beyond my expertise. And the fact that it was raining cats and dogs made for even more dire circumstances.
So, given that the new tenants are scheduled to move in within a week, I had act fast. I called a few irrigation companies and emailed more on yelp and thumbtack. They all either said they couldn't come within the given timeframe, couldn't come until the rain stopped or charged astronomically high for the service call (EF Landscaping, $280). One in particular even said they would come and then flaked the day of. I can't even begin to express how irritating that is. If just about thrown in the towel when I received an unexpected call from Brandon, of Precision Total Management (PTM). I'd forgotten about having contacted PTM on Facebook. Brandon said he could be out the next afternoon, despite the fact that the forecast predicted more raining of cats and dogs, and at a service charge of only $125. Now, that obviously isn't the lowest rate, but trust me, it's reasonable compared to what some of the other companies are charging. And again, Brandon came when nobody else would.
The next day, Brandon arrived and on time. He walked up and down the front and back yard, examining every nook and cranny, from the valves, to the sprinkler heads, to the piping, to even the backflow preventer, while explaining the process along the way. Once Brandon assessed the extent of the damage that occurred to the system, he got his crew on the job. Surprisingly, the job was done by the very next day, and believe or not, while it was still raining. Brandon actually modernized the system. I have to say I am more than impressed and highly recommend PTM for your irrigation maintenance/repair needs.
