The Question That Never Gets Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, actually, it got old about 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every season, we receive messages from customers wondering when we’re coming, why they haven’t heard from us, or whether we received their requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the interesting part. Some of these questions come from customers we’ve serviced for years. They’ve been through the same process before, yet somehow the instructions seem to become a mystery every October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our scheduling procedures haven’t changed. We organize properties into efficient daily routes and notify customers by text message and email the evening before their scheduled service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s explained in the Terms of Service that every customer agrees to when registering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Case of Selective Instruction Blindness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve discussed this mysterious condition before, and apparently, there’s still no known cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Agreeing to the Terms of Service without reading them<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Checking the scheduling calendar but ignoring the instructions directly above it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Asking questions already answered during registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Forgetting how the process works despite being a customer for several years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We understand everyone wants their sprinkler system winterized before freezing weather arrives. That’s why we maintain a scheduling calendar and publish daily updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, answering the same questions repeatedly takes time away from the work necessary to keep everything running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please remember that the calendar shows anticipated service areas, not individual appointments.<\/strong> Your official notification comes the evening before your property is scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Back to Work Monday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We’ll resume sprinkler blowouts Monday morning and continue working through the hundreds of requests we’ve received this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Until then, enjoy your weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And if you’re wondering when we’re coming, the answer might be sitting right above the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
