I wanted to remind you guys how important "service AFTER the sale" is. We have some customers who call with newly installed irrigation systems with a warranty. They have a problem that needs to be fixed and can't get in contact with the company that did the work. They have called numerous times and no one has called them back. Now they have called us and we are going to try to help them out-but it really should be done totally free under their warranty through the original company. So keep in mind when choosing a company for your new irrigation system the importance of Service After the Sale.

Irrigation Repairs Atlanta

When your searching for an irrigation repair company, ask about warranties on work they are performing and their level of experience. Anybody can throw pipe in a truck and buy supplies at home improvement stores and call themselves doing irrigation. My company is a member of the Irrigation Association, Georgia Green Industry Association, Hunter Silver Preferred Contractor, Rainbird Select Contractor as well as has over 10 years experience in installation, design and repair of irrigation systems throughout northern Georgia. Don't be fooled - call a real expert first.

We completed our new irrigation system installation in McDonough yesterday and the newbie learned a little about "pressure" and "flow" and how they relate to an irrigation system. Upon completion of the installation, our guys found that we had no "flow". Flow is the actual water flowing through the pipes. The odd thing was we had adequate pressure (the force at which the water should flow) but no flow and that is virtually impossible. The only way this can happen is if there is a blockage somewhere. Our guys found it at the water meter and our customer is on her way to a beautiful landscape!

Irrigation Systems Atlanta-Soil Sensors

Did you notice your irrigation system running even after all of the rain we just had? Soil sensors can eliminate over-watering and reduce your water bill. They also typically work well with existing systems. These wireless sensors are placed in the ground at root level in each sprinkler zone. They measure soil moisture and temperature day and night. The measurements are transmitted to a base station which is connected to the irrigation system controller. When the soil has adequate moisture (whether from rain or from the irrigation system) the sensors will restrict the system from watering in that zone. Wow-now that's what I call getting to the "root" of the problem!

This is an excellent time of year to get your new irrigation system installed. If you've been thinking about getting an irrigation system, fall is a great time to do so that your yard is ready for next spring. Ask to make sure your irrigation company is complying with state regulations (backflow prevention & rain sensor) and about warranties.

New Irrigation Systems Atlantal

Today we are starting a new irrigation system installation in McDonough. Our customer had some landscape items added to her yard (flowers, bushes, etc.) and was watering them manually with a water hose and sprinkler. The weather got horribly hot and it just got to be too much for her plus the new additions were beginning to suffer. The customer will now be able to revive the dried up landscape and I am sure she will be very pleased at the ease and efficiency she will soon be able to enjoy from her new irrigation system.
