What most people wonder about irrigation
How much damage will occur when putting in a new system?
This is a valid concern since most people who want a sprinkler system already have a nice lawn and landscape already. We take pride in how neat and clean your property will look immediately after the install is complete. We use tarps for the dirt removal, tamping to prevent future settling, and rakes and brooms to provide the nice finish. Most people comment on how much it looks like we were never there. This is a marked distinction between Pro Rain and most other companies.
How long will a typical sprinkler system last?
You can expect many years out of your new sprinkler system. The RainBird sprinkler heads we install come with a 3-5 year warranty, which is the best in the industry. Most major components carry the RainBird name. We use RainBird because it is simply the best out there. They are the best for these reasons:
- They have the best Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Longest Warranties
- Product Performance, and Help and Support like none other
- After 30 years in the business we are seeing very little breakdown to most parts of the systems that we have put in even 25-30 years ago. After 12-15 years the rotating parts of the system may individually require repair or replacement at a minimal cost. But we have been amazed at how most of the older systems and their parts have just kept rolling along year after year.
What makes your company different or better than others?
The number one answer is our people and our history. Pro Rain is really the ideal type of company that people are looking to deal with. Aaron and Amy Asmus started their business and their marriage in the late 1980's. From day one they have been committed to developing a company that puts people first. Together they have built a family business with a large customer base that has been growing and thriving for almost 30 years. The sprinkler business is a unique business in that we connect with all of our customers at least 1-3 times annually. This provides an opportunity to develop long standing relationships. And because we were born and live here most of our staff is family, friends, or great people from the community. The parts and products we use in our sprinkler systems are the best out there but what makes us the best choice is who we are and our commitment to you!
How will a sprinkler system effect my water bill?
The change in your water bill will most likely be in relation to how and how much you currently water your lawn and landscape. Most people use a garden hose with all kinds of manually adjusted sprinkler heads. This usually provides underwatering in some areas and overwatering in others. An automatic sprinkler system by Pro Rain gives you the advantage of watering much more efficiently overall. However this also provides you with an opportunity to water areas that previously you just couldn't. So there will most likely be an increase in your water bill. However the beauty of an automatic sprinkler system is that for the first time you will have complete control of this. You will now be able to water exactly where you want, when you want, and for how long you want.
Other things that can help keep watering costs at a minimum are:
- A second water meter available by most municipalities
- An automatic rain sensor to shut down watering during rainy periods
- Simply turning the dial to the off position and only turning it on when necessary.
