When I called the company about the issue they sent someone out to replace the broken part. I then called to ask how this went unnoticed all season by their technicians, AND the past several seasons (since I know the original incident happened 3 years ago). It took several calls on my part and about 2 weeks for the "manager" to call me back, and then I received the most unprofessional, rude, childish response imaginable. He started yelling at me like a crazy person saying I was "making accusations" and became extremely irate and defensive. Every time I asked a question he would respond with another (irrational) question. I asked for a refund on at least one season, since they clearly did not do their job properly, plus paid for all the wasted water from the leaking pipe. He went completely nuts. He yelled and hurled insults at me for at least 15 minutes. I was shocked. I have never experienced such unprofessional, childish service from a customer. We had been using the company for many years, and to be treated that way after they did something wrong was abominable. I am disgusted that the company allows "managers" to behave that way, defending shoddy and incomplete work, all the while sending new bills for this or that. The billing is another issue. They have the sloppiest bookkeeping I have ever encountered. Every time I called to enquire about a bill, I was told it was billed incorrectly and given a new, lower bill. But that is another story.
Description of Work: This company was hired to manage our irrigation system several years ago. This year, we learned they had not properly done their job for at least 4 years, possibly longer. A pipe on our property burst 3 years ago because the system was not properly flushed out for fall. In fact, after working with our new company, I realized there were several things that Irrigation by design did NOT do. The first is noticing that there was a huge leak that was continuously spraying water during the months the irrigation system was on. Because of the location of this pipe, we did not notice it until a handyman was working near the area and saw the pipe spraying and the huge puddle of water on the ground. I have no idea how a company that was regularly servicing the irrigation system did not notice such a thing. The crack in the pipe was several years old, since I remember the day the pipe burst several years ago, and did not realize it have never been properly fixed. Also, the copper piping was very degraded in the area of water damage, indicating long periods of excessive water exposure.
