Al Sievers Sprinkler Svc.

Jul 24th, 2021

We had Al come out to take a look at our valve box and when he arrived he looked at it and said it was working fine, no leaks. But offered to do a "Mole" control dig out which would cost $3,500 to do for each box location, this was a definite NO. He also offered to sale my husband a 10 plus year old used control box for $700.00 and stated that a new one would be $1,500 or so, again NO. Basically nothing was done and I came out with a $425.00 bill. His fee's are unreal, even charges to use his tools, fuel to site, initial service fee on top of an additional $180 fee, plus another $35.00 fee for I have no idea. I will never use this company, bad practice with no customer care service. Side note: We went online and found the exact control box he was trying to sale us for $95.00 compared to his $700.00 used one that he was trying to sale. Bad practice, don't recommend this company. there are much better reputable companies out their that aren't ripping customer's off without doing any work!!! BE CAREFUL PEOPLE - THIS GUY IS A SCAM only gave a 1 star because you have to do so to post! This guy is a scam and doesn't do repairs only gives lines of BS of what he can do and never held up his end. And by the way he did speak with me as I was the one who called him and discussed the issue I was having, funny how he thought or said he never spoke or met me......JUST LIES don't hire this company if you want to get things working on your sprinkler system...

I made an appointment for Al Sievers to check out an irrigation system installed by the previous owners of our property. I was told there would be a service fee associated with inspecting the system. I agreed to the fee as I believe in paying for someone's time. On the day of the appointment, I spoke with Al on the phone prior to his arrival. I gave him details on the house and answered all of his questions to the best of my ability. Our house can be difficult to find on the first visit, so prior to ending the call, I made sure to give Al very detailed directions. He even asked me if the driveway was gravel. I assured him the entire route to the house is paved. About two hours after our agreed upon appointment time, I called Al to ask about the delay. He told me he got lost and could not find our house. He told me he was not prepared for four wheel off road driving. I live in a wooded neighborhood, but all the roads, including my driveway are paved. Al told me he did not have cell phone coverage and could not reach me to tell me he was lost or late. Interesting that he answered my call on his cell phone. I sent Al more detailed directions via text, including a screen shot of a map with highlighted markings so he would have them ready should he lose cell coverage again. A few minutes later, his wife called me to tell me his truck is too big to get to my house. All the big Amazon/FedEx/Ups truck can get to my house. The septic service truck can get to my house. The propane delivery truck can get to my house. Every two years, a dump truck delivers 14 yards of bark to my house. My impression is Al Sievers did not even try to find me in order to earn my business. What a waste of a day off.

I was scheduled for an Appointment today. Al just called and tried to up-sell me a new sprinkler system. Lame. I just needed the leak fixed Al. A coupler, some glue, maybe a little bit more pipa. No need to break out the engineering degree..

Al Sievers should be ashamed of himself. His office was told full details of my sprinkler leak, no pooling, not water thru heads, but river coming out of storm drain into street.he spent 10 minutes, trying to turn on controller, could not bend, and could not see. Then trys to sell me new controller for $899, it's on rainbird site for $150. He did nothing, then said he can't see underground, so to call leak locators. I asked why did he come out? Says not for his office to deside. Bill was $250 for nothing. I live on social security, that's alot of money to me. Next compliant will be to state, for defrauding a senior. Look out Al....big time $$$ to you. Karma coming your way, and it's not looking good.
