Installations

When you have made your decision and accepted our proposal, the installation process begins.  The proposal is signed and an installation date is given.

• You will receive four Dig Safe Premark flags by mail with a letter explaining where on your property to place these flags.
• Our office will notify Dig Safe seven days before the installation to obtain a permit number and request that any public underground utilities be marked.
• Our office contracts a licensed plumber to make the main water source connection and install the back flow preventer.  This is typically scheduled prior to the installation.
• On the morning of the installation our field crew and foreman will go over the areas to be covered and the locations of the controller and rain sensor.
• The pipe is installed using a Ditch Witch pipe puller.  The Ditch Witch pulls the pipe underground with minimal damage to your existing lawn.  Any damage that may occur will be repaired.  In some cases trenching may be necessary.  The only digging will be where heads and valves are located.
• Valves are placed in valve boxes, which are installed at ground level.  Access to the valve boxes will be necessary for service only.
• After the installation is complete you will receive a full demonstration of your system including how to operate and program the controller and how to adjust the rain sensor and sprinkler heads.
