Q: What is the warranty offered
by Bio Green for parts and labor?
A: Bio Green offers the best warranty
in the country. Parts and the labor to replace them are covered
forever, as long as BioGreen only services the system.
Q: Will installation mess up my
lawn?
A: Bio Green does not dig open trenches
to install a system. We use a vibratory plow, which "pulls"
the pipe (similar to cable TV) to try and minimize damage to the
lawn. If the soil is extremely hard or rocky, there will be some
damage. Our lawn crews (rated top 5 by Washingtonian Magazine)
will repair any damage from installation, if necessary.
Q: How experienced is the crew
that will be doing the installation?
A: We feel our people provide Bio Green
with the biggest advantage over our competition. Our training
regimen consists of manufacturer certification, manufacturer seminars,
and years of hands-on experience. We are able to keep quality
employees by offering higher pay, better benefits, and year-round
employment. This adds up to Bio Green having the best installation
crews in the business.
Q: Is any of the work subcontracted?
A: Every phase of a Bio Green sprinkler
installation is done "in house". We do not subcontract
anything.
Q: Will the plumbing be done according
to code?
A: Bio Green's plumbing actually
exceeds all local jurisdictional codes. In addition to proper
backflow prevention, shut-off valves (inside and out) are installed,
and all copper piping is used and exit-sealed with hydraulic cement.
Q: Will a plumbing permit be pulled?
A: Yes, Bio Green will take care
of any plumbing permits. Permits are required whenever cutting
into the potable water supply.
Q: Are the valves manifold together
in a valve box or buried out in the lawn?
A: All Bio Green sprinkler systems
are installed with valves manifold together in a valve box buried
in an inconspicuous place (along foundation or shrub bed). This
keeps service and maintenance costs down. This is an important
point because many contractors bury irrigation valves out in the
lawn to lower costs. This can be unsightly, cause more damage
to the lawn, and make servicing the system more difficult.
Q: Are quality parts used throughout
the system?
A: All of the components of the system are commercial grade by the best manufacturer of irrigation parts in the country; Hunter. Quality parts are just the first step to a quality installation. The real key to a trouble free sprinkler system is in the hands of the installation crew.
Q: What type of pipe will be used?
A:"Drinking water"-quality,
SDR 200 PVC pipe is used throughout Bio Green systems. In addition,
a 1' to 5' section of flexible pipe (swing joint) joins each head
to the PVC pipe to simplify moving heads in the future.
Q: Is the system designed specific
to the needs of my property (shrubs, slopes, full sun, cost, poorly
drained areas, etc.)?
A: Bio Green always meets with potential
customers to give an estimate. This is the only way to design
a system specific to both the property and the home owner. Installation
costs can vary greatly, depending on many different variables.
Bio Green will take into account shrub beds, slopes, etc., as well
as the home owner's budget to design a sprinkler system that will
satisfy all of your needs.
Q: How difficult is it to alter
the system in the future (add shrub zones, new deck, expand flower
beds, etc.)?
A: Adding to or modifying a Bio Green
system is generally not a problem. Having valves manifold together,
swing joints on each head, etc., are all done with this in mind.
It is most important to plan with the initial installation so
that expansion or modification is not a big expense.
