The next few days will be sprinkler blowout Hell, to put it mildly.\u00a0 We are now in stage one of the final sweep for the season which is always tough.\u00a0 We have around 38-40 blowouts remaining, and not only are they scattered all over the valley, but three-quarters of them are also listed as “Couldn’t Do” in our system from the last one or two visits. Either from locked gates or damaged systems.<\/p>\n
The guys will be running their tales off for the next 2-3 days. During the early part of the season the guys could each do about 20 blowouts or sometimes more in a day. Once the time changed, it would be a battle for each tech to get 16-18 completed in a day.\u00a0 Once it started getting colder we had to battle machine hose condensation that would freeze, or battling systems where customers weren’t following our advice about easily winterizing their backflow preventers, draining their irrigation filters, draining the water from their irrigation pump and putting the plug back, etc. Also, as it gets later in the season the blowouts aren’t as close together so it takes longer drive time to get to each one. We can lose around two hours a day on drive time toward the end of the season. Kelly’s route today will actually mean about 50 miles covered from start to finish.<\/p>\n
We aren’t listing zip codes at this point because we will be all over the place.\u00a0 Everyone on a route today was sent a notification test and an email as well. On another note, even with the emails AND texts we still get one or two customers per day that didn’t cancel and were charged a non-cancellation fee.<\/p>\n
