Questions and Answers

As a Boise homeowner with an older irrigation system, should I be concerned about electrical issues during a sprinkler blow-out or repair?

Yes, it's a valid concern, especially with older systems common in our area. We frequently encounter short circuits in aging wiring and freeze damage to outdoor outlets during service calls. Our team, led by Jim who holds an electrical contractor's license, is trained to identify and safely address these issues. We ensure all electrical components related to your irrigation system are inspected for safety as part of our repair or blow-out service, preventing potential hazards.

What is involved in your irrigation design service, and how do you account for Boise's soil and climate?

Our irrigation design service starts with evaluating your property's specific layout, sun exposure, and the unique clay-heavy soils common in the Treasure Valley. We design systems that provide efficient coverage while preventing runoff and water waste. Using our local knowledge and construction experience, we create a plan that promotes a healthy landscape while conserving water and ensuring all backflow prevention devices are correctly integrated and accessible for the required annual testing.

Why is annual backflow testing necessary for my home's sprinkler system, and what happens if I don't do it?

Annual testing is a state requirement for any sprinkler system connected to the city's drinking water supply. It ensures the backflow preventer—the device that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into clean lines—is working correctly. Without a functioning preventer, fertilizers, pesticides, or other contaminants from your yard could pollute the community's drinking water. We provide this essential test to keep your water safe and help you avoid potential non-compliance fines from the city or water district.
