The A.A. Waters & Brookes Difference
How Do You, The Homeowner, Know if the System was Properly Designed, Installed and Managed?
Unlike electricians or plumbers, the irrigation industry is non-regulated. A permit is not required to install a sprinkler system and there are no building code guidelines. Licenses are not required for irrigation technicians.
This leaves the homeowner vulnerable “to get what he/she is given”; poor quality material, workmanship, and business practices.
We are involved in a business, building a company with a solid reputation. We are here to properly design, construct, maintain and manage your sprinkler system.
