5 Reasons To Hire A Sprinkler Trenching Company For Permanent Sprinkler Installation
Posted on: 29 May 2018
Permanent installation of a sprinkler almost always means trenching is required. Some homeowners choose to take on this job on their own using whichever tools they have at their disposal. However, the results of a DIY job and work carried out by a professional are quite distinct.
Hiring a trenching company comes with a number of advantages that relate to various aspects of the job and the final results.
1. You Probably Don't Have the Right Tools
A pick and shovel may be adequate in some situations but when you are dealing with certain soil conditions or laying the pipes over long distances, you'll probably need a sprinkler trencher. The odds that you happen to have one of these waiting around in your shed are quite low. This means you'll likely have to hire one and even so, you may not know how to use it.
2. A Trenching Company Can Do the Work Faster
Unless you have a few days that you can dedicate to the job, you'll want the work done as quickly as possible. A sprinkler trenching company will have the right tools and will have a lot of experience doing this kind of work. This means they'll be able to complete the work faster.
3. Expert Knowledge is Needed
Digging trenches for your sprinklers may seem straightforward but there are certain things that you'll need to know. Environmental conditions will dictate how deep the trenches will need to be to prevent freezing, it takes some know how to get past obstructions such as concrete pavements, digging a trench in certain areas may not be safe, etc.
All these are things you'll need to know before you start digging your trench otherwise you could do more harm.
4. You Could Damage Plants
If you've already done some landscaping, digging trenches in such an area can be very sensitive work. Some plants have roots that reach far and wide. You could easily damage these using the trenching machine. The machine also needs a certain amount of space to work; otherwise, it can damage nearby plants.
5. It May Be Less Expensive
When you factor in the cost of hiring a trenching machine, the time spent researching how to go about the trenching process, and money you may spend repairing any damage caused in the process, it may be cheaper to hire a sprinkler repair and installation company to install your sprinklers at the end of the day. Alternatively, the cost savings may be negligible.
