Sprinkler Doctors

Called Monday, the 1^st, returned my call within 30 minutes and had my appointment for the following day. Steve came out, looked/​dug through everything and couldn’t find a leak. I understood the reasoning and was pleased that his first response was not to dig up the whole yard and charge several hundreds of dollars. Definitely will use them again and will recommend them to anyone looking for irrigation/​sprinkler help!

Another long overdue update:
Called them out a third time to fix another issue with the drip system. I received a voice mail from the owner regarding the service/​trip fee and that it would be waived. That was appreciated.
I don’t feel that the previous situation is the owner’s fault, but rather a technician that didn’t fully understand how to fix/​diagnose my system. Fee should have been refunded, but I’m satisfied with the resolution. When the drip system needs to be replaced (soon) I will still use these guys as I was very impressed with the Owner/​Tech on the first visit.

Had a broken diaphragm in irrigation line (unbeknownst to me) on drip system. One zone on my drip system had a very slow leak. Steve diagnosed problem and fixed it within five minutes. I keep my system running and this one problem I couldn’t figure out. Steve showed me how to fix next time. Worth the money. Very professional and showed up when promised.

I found the sprinkler doctors here on Unilocal when looking for someone to install a Rachio. A local handyman quoted me a bit less but so happy I went with Sprinkler Doctors instead. They are professionals at this and knew exactly what the Rachio was and how to install the wifi timer outside (Rachio advises you to get a pro if installing outside). They were prompt in scheduling a time for install, did the work in the time they estimated, and charged a very fair price. They made sure everything was working correctly with the timer and with the wifi connection. Thanks for the great service!

Amazing! Diligent! Outstanding! I can’t say enough good things about Sprinkler Doctors. I was in the process of selling my home and had a mystery leak that I (and my landscapers) could not find. Not wanting to pass on this problem to the new owner I reached out to Sprinkler Doctors a week before closing. Jason came out and on his first visit thought he had fixed the leak, but the mystery leak returned. So I called in a panic and Jason was quick to return and solved it. Just in the nick of time. My only suggestion is maybe a name change to Sprinkler Surgeons or Sprinkler Magicians because he worked a miracle for me. I added Sprinkler Doctors to my contacts and you should too. I am a Realtor and will be passing along Sprinkler Doctors to all my clients! Thank you Jason!

We recently moved here from Indiana so we are learning who to call for all home services. These guys are top notch. My call was returned in a very reasonable amount of time and the appointment was scheduled the same way. The technician, Jay, called and arrived within the scheduled time and was very thorough. he not only fixed the leak, but took the time to walk me through our system and educate me to the watering times and care for Arizona plants. I would strongly recommend this company.

Exceeded my expectations. Our system hadn’t been working since we moved in 7 months ago. Reasonable rates and extremely knowledgeable and professional. Prompt and courteous. Took the extra effort to explain things to me and offer tips for future use of our system. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

What a great company to work with, honest and very professional. Eldon and his employees really did a great job getting everything working perfectly around my front yard. I have referred Sprinkler Doctors several times and will continue to refer them. Thank you guys for the great job you did.

I had Eldon from Sprinkler Doctors out yesterday to diagnose and fix a problem with my Rain Dial controller. He fixed the controller and checked all of our plants and the water going to each plant finding 2 that were partially plugged. The cost was reasonable. I would definitely use them again.

I’ve used these guys a few times now and can safely say they are the best around. Prior owners of my house did a terrible flip and the irrigation system was enough to make me just randomly punch plants (poor guys). Eldon and Jay came out when promised, pre-​called, and fixed everything including installing a ‘smart’ controller, now I can blast rabbits on my lawn with sprinklers right from my phone! Very competitive pricing and frankly I would’ve gladly paid more for their professionalism and knowledge (don’t tell them I said that though). Great work guys, I’ll be sure to use you again! Thank you!

We had an issue with a crack near a valve in our backyard that caused a huge leak (and a huge water bill). Set up appt. for a couple days later when they had a tech in the area.
We had Loren come out, a little outside the appointment time, but he spent a couple of hours fixing the pipe and some other issues during a monsoon, late on a Friday afternoon.
Would definitely use them again.

Great service, great price! They fixed up our sprinklers, professional attitude, did a thorough job, were friendly, and offered us a super deal on a sprinkler timer that they had left over from a previous upgrade. They were more interested in doing a great job and less interested in making a quick buck.

My system valves were worn out and leaking. Wade from Sprinkler Doctors came out when he said he would there and replaced the valves. I am very happy with their service.

Super happy with this company. I’ve used them 3 times already! They helped me with my irrigation system and also installed a Rachio system. Very professional. Super friendly. I haven’t given 5 stars to a company in awhile because my expectations are usually high but these guys got the job done. Thank you again!

When I came back from a month’s vacation, I found that someone had turned my irrigation water off at the backflow valve, and found my grass and plants rather crisy and browning. I was mad till I found out that one of the valves was stuck on ON, and the water must have flooded the street for days.
My hands could not unscrew the valve cover crammed inside that box. I read about Sprinkler Doctor on Unilocal,arranging Sprinkler Repair by highest ratings first. SD was able to schedule me in the morning of the next working day. Jason came out to my house on June 1, 2015, to replace the diaphragm in my sprinkler valve, and since I knew I had an hour of his time, I had him repair other broken sprinkler risers and elbows, subject to my loathing and procrastination to fix myself. I also showed him where an area of my lawn was not receiving enough water. He changed 2 sprinkler heads from fixed to adjustable so that the area would have more water.
What struck me was Jason was most conscientious about telling ways I could save my money by providing him with my own parts, or even my own plumbers tape, that he said he would have to charge me for, if he used their supplies. He also surprised me by not charging me for the 2 sprinkler head parts because he did an exchange with mine (which were clean and in great condition) and said he could use them elsewhere. And he told me to save the rubber diaphragm he took out of the valve, so next time I would have a reference to buy the correct one (I bought the 3 that HD had, but Jason said Orbit makes 4 different ones, and HD only had the 3 wrong ones). What a good idea I hadn’t thought of! He suggested I could change the rest of them myself and save money and be sure they will not fail during another vacation.
Jason told me he has been working for SD for 2.5 years. He got the job when he was doing door-​to-​door pest control sales and knocked on the owner of SD’s door, Eldon. Owner asked Jason if he had 15 min to listen to a proposal in return, and he told him about Sprinkler Doctors and then hired Jason. Jason said he likes a job where people are «happy to see him at their door» instead of vice-​versa doing door-​to-​door cold canvassing.
I am very happy with Jason’s diligent service and pleasant nature, and I cannot think of any business that will show up at my door and give me one hours service for $ 65. labor charge. Weight lifted off my mind, that my sprinkler issues are now all taken care off, in that Jason stayed the full hour to «do the dirty work» for me. No more procrastinating!

Sprinklers annoy me. It’s the kind of situation where you’re paying $ 5 to replace the part and $ 50 to know what part to replace. In our particular situation, we had a valve that wouldn’t shut off. I figured it was something inside that was bad, but none of the big box stores I went to had parts to replace the innards… just whole valves. There was no way I was going to spend the time to dig up the valve, cut it out, and glue in a new one.
Sprinkler Doctors found the bad valve quick and turns out it did just need a membrane replaced. $ 12 part, but I admit I was a little bummed to have to pay like $ 65 for the labor (IIRC). It’s not out of line with similar service or anything, I just hate paying for something that I know I COULD do myself and just don’t want to or can’t find the right part.
That being said, the tech was very pleasant, worked quick, set the timer and checked all our sprinklers (we just bought this house a month ago). Turns out 4 sprinklers were bad, and he said he could come back and fix them but then told my wife, «If your husband is handy, send him to xxx to get the parts for a couple bucks less and just screw the new heads on». I appreciated the opportunity to fix it myself for $ 20 instead of paying $ 100 for another call and parts. That bumped this review from 4 to 5 stars.

Excellent company! I had a sprinkler system failure and one of their techs came and worked it out despite the fact that he didn’t feel good. He stayed and corrected the problem instead of postponing this job. This is why I like to work with local mom-​and-​pop companies, they are professional and courteous to the core. They will have my business from now on.

I grew up in a time before internet and Unilocal.I remember as a kid, service companies coming to our house and just tearing us a new one. Things have changed instead of picking a random place out of the phone book, we can do our research on companies. There is a reason why Sprinkler Doctors have a 5 star rating. They are honest and hardworking!
My valve box was flooded. Steve came by and tightened things down for me. They never tried to sell me a bunch of stuff I didn’t need, which I always appreciate. What was really above and beyond is Steve finished the repair in about 40 minutes. He actually said you have me for the full hour do you need anything else done? I was floored and took him up on his offer. He set up my sprinkler system correctly. It would have taken me hours to figure out by trial and error what he did in 20 min. Great job Steve and thank you again!

I really like these folks. I sent them an email with my problem. The young lady melanie responded that night and had had the Technician call me the next day to discuss the problem and we setup a window of time for them to visit.
The guy (Jay) who came to visit was very friendly and polite, He even spent some time trying to see if he could get my old Toro sprinkler timer to work, but he ended up with the same symptoms I had seen. However kudos to them for checking it out to see if the replacement was necessary. Also the guy was very careful not to wake up some sleeping grandkids. :-)
Good price, very friendly and helpful service. will definitely use these folks again.
Out of curiosity I checked the Amazon reviews on the Irrigation Timer they had recommended (Raindial-​R external) and it gets excellent reviews.
Melanie was super friendly the couple of times we chatted.

THE BEST!
Humble Price. Quality Work.
I’m so grateful for people like them. Jason in particular, who did the work. I had one problem and he fixed in like 10 minutes, then he rushed for the next 50 minutes to get as much work done as possible in an hour.
Most people hang around and take their time, twiddling their thumbs, but not Jason, he gets cranking. I appreciate his dedication to trying to make it worth it for me.
I hope this business continues to grow. They deserve it.
