We had a pool put in. They tore up the sprinkling system and say it's on us to have fixed. Any recommendations as to who can do that?

How torn up is it? one head ? or a severed zone that is now flooding the yard?

Have you made the final payment to the pool installer?

You may want to get an estimate to get the repairs done first and see if this is worth chasing. That is a reasonable start to getting your irrigation system back to working.

Good Luck and let us know who the installer was and how you end up.

DO NOT HIRE JIM BAUMGARTNER FOR SPRINKLER WORK, OVER CHARGES. PASS IT ON.

that's a total bummer. I would start with calling home warranty only to ask which company installed your irrigation system unless you already know who it is. Ours was installed by MICO and they will also work on it on a $ basis. It seems that they would know your system and could remedy it the quickest. Good luck.

Yikes! They, your pool company, knew from the start what would happen to your sprinkler piping. Not very nice.

First, please pass along the name of the pool installer so the rest of us can avoid them. Then file a complaint with seniors against crime and the BBB. Then as noted above, get estimates for the repair, and explain the the pool company that you expect them to cover the cost.
Hope this helps.

We've had a few estimates for building a pool in our new house. All estimates included lawn restoration plus irrigation removal and relocation in the finished areas. The only company that would not delete that cost in their estimate was T&D here in TV. I imagine they don't delete it for this very reason. They are concerned with getting the job done right with the one stop shop approach. FYI, we decided not to have a pool built. I did think that the additional $4,000 was a bit excessive but it does eliminate any issues afterwards. Good luck.

Wow. My son is getting a pool installed and the company doesn’t do the sprinkler modifications, but advised him to get it done before they started digging the site. Cost him $200 to have someone out to survey the sprinkler system and cap the appropriate spots so the remaining landscape would still be covered.

Looking at Google it seems possible that your home insurance may cover the damage by a contractor. Was there a discussion about tearing up the sprinkle system before the work began?

[JimJohnson]

We had T&D put ours in and they rerouted the pipes and 9 Zone wiring system. No extra charge.

[Pinochle]

Yes, please do tell us the name of the pool company.

It was the same when we had our pool installed. We knew up front irrigation lines was our responsibility.

Wonder if OP was made aware earlier?
