Getting a sprinkler system can be a big decision. Our goal at Watermatic Irrigation Inc. is that the process go as smoothly as possible with minimal surprises. This sheet is to provide you with a step by step process from sprinkler estimate to final walkthrough.

Step 1: Setting up a time to get an estimate

This part is easy, just call us at 631-467-2240 and ask for the sales department. We recommend reserving at least an hour for your sprinkler estimate.

Step 2: The day of your design and estimate.

Plumbing: We begin every estimate with identifying where will be receiving our main water source. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as connecting to your existing hose bibs. Lawn Sprinkler systems need lots of water so we need to connect to a main water line. Typically we connect in one of two places, in your front yard at the water meter in the ground or in your basement (generally your furnace room). Lastly we identify where to install your backflow preventor which will protect your drinking water.

Property Lines: Next we will need for you to determine your property lines.

Review design: After our designer has finished your design, we will review the system with you to ensure it is exactly what you want. This is an opportunity to add/change/or review sprinkler heads and/or zones.

Step 3: Signing up

Step 4: Scheduling

Our typical waiting period from contract to installation is 1-3 weeks. When it is your turn, we will call to schedule your installation (typically one week prior to your installation).

Step 5: Installation Day

The morning of your installation, we will place flags where every rotor and spray heads will be installed. Next we will review the following: location of the control box, valve boxes, and sprinkler heads. Once you given your approval, you installation will begin. Any additional changes after this point will be charged Time and Material. It is also important you identify such things as underground dog fences, drainage, sump pumps, french drains, and electrical lines.

Step 6: Walk Through of System

After your sprinkler installation has been completed, we will review the entire system with you. You will be shown the following:
Control Box: we will show you how to set the date and time, watering times and recommended watering schedules
Emergency shut off valve: this will turn all water to your system
Adjusting spray and rotor heads: you can adjust distance and rotation for your heads
Fertilization tank
Review of valve boxes
Rain Sensor

Step 7: Collecting payment

In order to pay our employees and vendors in a timely fashion, we need to collect a check when we finish your walkthrough. After 14 days past your installation day, we reserve the right to charge a late fee.
