The Importance of Choosing a Certified Irrigation Contractor:
How do you choose an Irrigation Contractor?
The success of your sprinkler irrigation system depends mainly on the contractor you wish to install it. A contractor’s expertise and specialized skills are vital in determining your system’s efficiency and long-term consistency. In fact, how your irrigation system is designed and installed will make the difference between a system that is reliable and one that is constantly troublesome. It’s a very difficult decision, but choosing the right contractor isn’t as tricky as it may look.
What you should know:
There are several things you should think about and be prepared for when choosing an irrigation system….
What to Expect:
An efficient, well-organized contractor will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed choice. First, the contractor will want to view your property in order to determine soil conditions, water sources, pressure, planting materials, etc. He should then present a formal estimate detailing what he plans to do and the total price for materials and installation. Along with the estimate, the contractor should clearly explain all the specifics to you. There generally should be little disruption to existing foliage, and the average job should take less than a week.
What Questions to Ask:
The best contractors will encourage you to ask a lot of questions. By asking questions, you will know exactly what you will be getting for your money and what to expect from your new sprinkler system. Here are a few important questions to get you started.
What type of product will be used and why? He should tell you what type of controller, valves, and rotors or spray heads are best for your landscape. Is after-sale service provided? A professional contractor should be willing and able to provide after-sale service.
Is there a warranty on the system? His work should be guaranteed; a one-year warranty is typical. Also, be sure to ask him for the names and telephone numbers of recently satisfied customers, so you can call and check his references!
Some Words of Warnings
You Get What You Pay For.
When choosing a contractor, you should be wary of those who offer to charge you significantly less than other contractors. Low bidders may not be licensed or insured and often use cost-cutting techniques that can jeopardize your lawn and shorten the life of your system.
Watch out for these commonly used tricks of the trade:
- Installing sprinklers too far apart makes it impossible for certain areas to receive enough water and causes brown spots during the hot summer months.
- Mixing sprinklers with different application rates on the same line, causes one area to be overwatered in order to sufficiently water another.
- Not using connectors and a protective valve box to safeguard the electrical elements helps guard against short circuits and prevents corrosion.
Quality Counts
Above all, you should choose a contractor you can trust and with whom you feel comfortable. It’s important that he install professional series products such as those manufactured by Hunter and Rain Bird. Choosing an irrigation contractor for Sprinkler System installation who uses quality professional series products is the best way to ensure the job will be done right.
