Repairs
Start with what failed and why instead of guessing from the first visible symptom.
Why ETSprinklers
I work hard,
but I do not want to guess.
Repairs should be diagnosed. New systems should be measured and calculated. Both should be built so the customer is glad they paid for the work.
How I approach the work
A smart controller will not fix a bad system.
Bad pressure, bad zoning, poor spacing, and the wrong pipe sizes will still cause problems. The basic system has to be right before any extra technology matters.
01
Start with the property
I measure what is actually there instead of forcing the same layout onto every site.
02
Work within the limits
Water supply, elevation, distance, crossings, soil, plant needs, and future repairs all affect the plan.
03
Check it before digging
I calculate demand and pressure loss while changes are still easy to make.
04
Do not overbuild it
Use enough pipe, zones, control, and equipment to do the job right without adding cost for no reason.

What this means on the job
Find the cause. Make a plan. Do the work right.
The customer should get a clear answer, fewer preventable problems, and a system that fits the property.
New systems
The layout should be backed by measurements, calculations, and the real limits of the property.
Doing the work
Materials, labor, travel, and scheduling should go toward the job instead of wasted movement or extra complication.
As the work gets done
This page will show real jobs.
As I complete more projects, I will add real before and after photos, plans, measurements, and finished results here.
