There’s a good possibility you’re here because your irrigation system is in need of repair. We understand how frustrating it can be. The good news is that repairs are our specialty. To be honest, we never thought it would be. Our company was founded on installing nothing but the best irrigation systems, but over the years, in addition to our systems, thousands and thousands of systems have been installed by companies that have moved on to other things. This left us with the responsibility to care for these as we do our own. We estimate over 25,000 repairs have be made by our company. So, you’re at the right place, and with an A+ rating with the BBB, and Angie’s List, you can search no further.

The member was informed that I was unable to service Trussville due to health and being 55 miles from our office. I was diagnosed with cancer and had 39 radiation treatments. I have done this 55 years now and wish I could handle it all, but after that I had to cut my territory back. I truly hope everyone understands. Thanks, Dwight Elliott

Mr. Elliot gave me a very detailed explanation of what was needed in my yard. He answered all of my questions about how to sprinkler system worked and how the sprinkler heads should be placed for the best coverage. He broke down the cost and went over the materials that are would be used. He was very open to all of my many questions and answered in a way I could understand. He was very professional and made me feel like I could trust his word on everything he promised. I felt very comfortable choosing ELLIOTT IRRIGATION Co. Inc. over the other companies I interviewed. His team came to install on a given date as promised and his crew did an excellent job. Each day they totally cleaned up my yard where it would look nice even though they were coming back the next day. I could not be more pleased with the performance of my sprinkler system as well as the installation process. His men worked very hard and hardly ever took a break until the job was finished. I would highly recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: Sprinkler system, underground faucets and drip tubes for pots.

The consultation was very thorough and Mr. Elliott was punctual and very open about cost. The day of the scheduled work, was started on time and finished as promised. There were additional items addressed by Mr. Elliott that he did not charge extra for beyond estimate. In addition, the water pressure for the system was adjusted to make system function as intended. The explanation for each zones needed corrections was clearly explained during the consultation. Finally, the system was set to run appropriately for shrubs and yard. The sprinkler system is now working wonderfully and it's amazing to see it work the way it's supposed to. The cost my be on the higher side of estimates, but he is a true professional, that focuses solely on irrigation and the results are worth it.
Description of Work: The primary purpose of the referral was to adjust a sprinkler system in a six year old home that was put in by the contractor. The system was not covering the yard and landscape as it had matured. Mr. Elliot upon his consultation (full disclosure, $65 cost that can be applied to job) found the need to replace and fix multiple heads, move multiple heads, and fix leaks. In addition, approximately half the cost represents trenching and adding a new zone for added landscape that was not getting irrigation.

My husband was at home and watched the entire process. He had to tell the technician how to use the controller for the system. My husband had diagnosed the problem and was able to direct them immediately to the problem area, showing the crew where the master valve and cutoff valve are located. So, all the troubleshooting was done before the crew arrived. This meant the crew was able to do their work in a very short time.
Description of Work: One valve in the irrigation system was repaired. The valve was located, some wires were cut, a gasket was replaced in the valve, and the valve was reattached to the cut wires. This took less than 30 minutes. The invoice stated "valve rebuilt and rewired". The charge was excessive for the work performed. We have done business with this company on several occasions in the past, and though their prices seemed a little high, we were ok with that since we believed we were getting quality work.

Response from Elliott Irrigation Company Inc
Elliott Irrigation in 50 years has never gotten but the highest scores in customer satisfaction. With almost 20,000 customers past and present with have maintained a A+ Rating with BBB and A rating with Angie’s List. Yes we did show up on time as promised and repaired the problem as asked. The member showed us a leaking head which was not the problem, we had to hook up our 521 Locator “an electronic device” to locate a bad control valve, which was the problem. The controller was not a standard one and yes we did ask the customer how to use it instead of wading through a manual but this is very rare. Checking our GPS tracking it was very much longer than 30 minutes to get to and solve his problem. Also I don’t think the members understand and I would be happy to show them how much it cost us just to drive up in their drive before we get out of our truck. Which is a new truck, large enough to carry most every part needed to repair a system so we don’t have to come back. We come to their house also with liability insurance, Workman’s comp insurance, truck and inventory insurance, Blue Cross insurance and highly paid employees in order to keep the best sprinkler service crew in the Southeast. We have an office building and staff that answers the phone and sets and maintains appointments. We are quick to return if there is a problem Honestly our prices usually are slightly higher that others but what we offer our customers far superior to any other company. I believe next time when the member's do call someone else. If they answer the phone or even show up our $315 Not $350 bill will then seem very reasonable. I honestly believe as I read their report written by the wife that this was done in anger and meant to punish not resolve. The member has always been a joy to work for. A simple phone call to our office and we would have gone over the bill point by point and if they still weren’t happy we would have done what ever to resolve it in order to keep a valued customer. Thank you, Dwight Elliott

They quoted me a fair price, did excellent work, stuck to their original quote and worked well. They also replaced the sections of grass they had turned up and you could hardly tell where they had worked. Excellent quality and very professional people, very informative and helpful, especially when dealing with someone that needed to have the process explained. Their section of the business that did just the drainage work is called E Drains, but it's the same company. First rate. This work was done at a rental house that I own on my street.
Description of Work: They came out and installed a drainage line in the front yard of a house that was flooding when it rained. They put in a grill right at the intersection of the driveway and the walkway to the house at the lowest point of water collection. They ran the French drain along the yard paralleling the front of the house and then made a left turn in the drain to bring it out to the street.

We moved into the residence in early February and our first water bill was for 34,000 gallons. We could only surmise a water leak was the culprit and it must be in the sprinkler system because we recently had the septic tank emptied and no water was gushing out when they opened it. A call to the water company revealed that this amount of consumption was not unusual for the property. I contacted Elliot because of the reviews on this site. They were able to come out within 2 days of contacting them. They brought a crew of 3. They were early and had already located a few key components by the time I got home. Once they had a scope of the work needed, I was quoted a price and options. They found a bad valve and replaced it. They went through the system and got all of the zones working. Only 3 worked before and now all 7 are in operation. They did have to locate and rewire one of the valves, which was an extra expense. They also rewired the timer unit. I was missing a few heads and had some others that were damaged. I did not have them repair/replace those. The final price was slightly higher than the initial estimate because of difficulty with the valve that needed rewiring. All in all, I am very pleased with the service. The employees were helpful and knowledgable. The work went smoothly and quickly. I have no basis of comparison for the cost, but given what my water bill was, the work they did will pay for itself in savings within 2-3 months.

Description of Work: Service men arrived exactly when scheduled. In a very short time they solved my problem--had exact tools and material needed on their truck. Checked entire system before they left. I had not asked for an estimate before they started and result was more than I expected--my mistake. I have used several other companies and have found Elliott to be the best!

We contacted them because they had done some repair work to our front irrigation system and it seemed to be very reasonable. They were local. They were very prompt and the guy who came out was very nice. They came out and looked at what I had and gave me a written quote. I had no complaints other than that their price was twice higher than someone who had basically quoted for the same equipment and same product. I just felt that the quote was little out of fine. I had got two other quotes which were couple of hundred dollars different from each other and Elliott Irrigation Company Inc was almost twice more than that. They had also sent an email and I had replied as to why I didn't go with them. The guy was fine but the only thing was the price. They were timely, prompt and gave me the quote immediately.
Description of Work: Elliott Irrigation Company Inc just came and gave an estimate in the end of June this year. The estimate was about $3700 for adding an irrigation system in the back yard to the one we have already have in the front.

Their price was little high and that was not the lowest also. Their service was good. They came out when they were supposed to come and they inspected the system in April and also replaced one and gave an estimate and suggestion about the improvement of the system. They did the inspection and replacement within two weeks and then they gave the suggestions and estimate for the improvement of the system but I didn't get it done as the price was pretty high. They did the work very efficiently and properly and I was pleased with the work they did.
Description of Work: I used Elliott Irrigation Company Inc for inspecting the irrigation system and also they replaced one which was broken in May of this year.

He was going to charge me $16700.00. As far as the quote, it was very very high. I got another quote from another company for $3700.00 so it was a huge difference. I thought he was nice. According to Angie's List, he got a very good rating. It was way out of line as far as price. He may have priced it that high because he didn't want the job. I wish he would have just said that he didn't want the job. Part of the problem is that the place where I live apparently has a lot of red tape as far as getting a permit in the city of Birmingham. It runs business away from doing anything because it is so cumbersome.
Description of Work: Elliott Irrigation Company gave me an estimate for an irrigation system about 3 weeks ago.

Response from Elliott Irrigation Company Inc
The member’s home is one of those rare mansions in the middle of the city of Birmingham with a huge corner lot; big enough for three homes. You can map quest it to see exactly. “Copy and paste.” http://www.bing.com/maps/?vendor=google&pkw=maps_msn&s_kwcid=maps%20msn|692981071#JnE9LjEwMjElMmI0M3JkJTJiU3RyZWV0JTJiU291dGglMmJCaXJtaW5naGFtJTI1MmMlMmJBbCUyYiUyYjM1MjIyJTdlc3N0LjAlN2VwZy4xJmJiPTUxLjgzODM3MDk4OTYzOTElN2UtNDIuMTU2MTA1MDQxJTdlMTAuMzE5MDQ4NjU3Nzc3NiU3ZS0xMzEuNDUyOTgwMDQx The Birmingham Water Works Board requires a large backflow preventer with test ports and the City or Birmingham requires a second atmospheric PRZ backflow preventer that has to be surface mounted above the highest sprinkler head. On a home of this type the water mains are usually large and difficult to tap into for the sprinkler system water supply. This tap is done in a large hole dug around the water main, the tap would have consisted of one inch copper, a large brass backflow preventer with test ports, brass high range regulator, brass water meter and a master solenoid valve all enclosed in meter boxes. Then on that same line the brass PRZ backflow is located in the yard before any sprinkler work is done. Being a master plumber and installing sprinkler systems for 50 years I know this mechanism alone can cost $3400. Keeping that in mind we have not begun to install over a half mile of piping and the sod cutting of the grass and replacement in the yard. Mrs. Dunn’s yard had 18 large rotor sprinkler heads when the average yard has 5 or 6. She also had wonderful gardens and shrub beds, with 35 spray heads, that would all have to be hand dug and cleaned up to install the system there. Also some drip irrigation in pots and planters. We had a 1 ½" main waterline running throughout the yard with control valves and wiring to the microprocessor controller mounted inside the home along with a rain sensor. Not to mention separate piping for a spigot located at the far end of the yard. This system would have taken a crew of 4 or 5 men and equipment about a week to complete. I also have to mention that in all my work over the southeast from golf courses to rose gardens the city of Birmingham is the most challenging to work with. The process of licensing, permits for the backflow and low voltage wiring along with the inspections makes these systems run more. I must say in 50 years we have got nothing but A+ ratings from the BBB, Angie’s list etc. And to get a C rating from someone I didn’t even do business with is disappointing to say the least. Thank you, Dwight Elliott

The guys that came out were super nice. They had to make some repairs on the sprinkler heads that were not sprinkling properly. I also had them add two additional heads to reach the small backyard. I am not sure how many were not working right but they made some adjustments and now they are all fine. I was happy with the price since I didn't have to buy all new heads. It took about two hours to complete.
