The Diekman Family Legacy of 4 Generations

His nephew, Tim Diekman, the Director of Arizona Irrigation Company, was asked, “What sets you apart from all other sprinkler repair service in Phoenix and Scottsdale? His resounding response was, “The fact that we’ve been doing lawn irrigation repair and replacement since 1948 in Phoenix, Arizona.”

“What this means to our customers is when you’re calling me today and describing your sprinkler problems,  I’ve already figured it out in my head because I’ve acquired 75 years plus of generational experience and knowledge as a family owned business. It’s the biggest benefit in doing business with us and the reason why we’ve stayed in business so long. That’s why we are the “Gold Standard of Excellence” of all lawn sprinkler repair companies in Phoenix and Scottsdale. I can promise you that there’s nothing you’re experiencing with your irrigation sprinkler system that I haven’t seen. When you’ve told me your problem over the phone I already know how I’m going to fix it and what materials I’m going to use.”

“Arizona Irrigation Company is responsible for setting the ‘Gold Standard of Excellence’ for installation of irrigation systems in Phoenix, Arizona.”

“Another benefit with us, versus other sprinkler repair service in Phoenix, is that we logistically take in consideration the entire lawn sprinkler installation. From how it’s designed, to where it stops, to how it works and how it’s applied to Arizona’s Grow Zones.”

Phoenix is within the USDA Hardiness Zones of 9b and 10a, Scottsdale, Arizona is in USDA Hardiness Zones 9a and 9b, and Maricopa is in USDA Hardiness Zones 9a.

“My Uncle Deke was the one that developed all the techniques for sprinkler systems that apply to Arizona’s Grow Zones.”

“Whether grass or plants, my uncle wrote the book on all of the technical processes for sprinkler irrigation used today in Phoenix. When someone new came to Arizona to go into the sprinkler business they came to us. Because Arizona Irrigation Company was responsible for setting the ‘Gold Standard of Excellence’ for installation of irrigation systems in Phoenix, Scottsdale of Maricopa county. If you want to keep it green. you do it the way my uncle did it.”

What Sets Us Apart from All Other Sprinkler Contractors

The inception of setting the “Gold Standard of Excellence’ in the sprinkler repair service in Phoenix started in 1948 with Henry Diekman, aka. Uncle Deke. He was the first licensed lawn sprinkler systems contractor in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. He brought in all the irrigation manufacturers from California, Texas, and New Mexico into Arizona because they realized he had figured out the best way to install sprinkler systems for residential lawn care in Arizona.

“Uncle Deke taught me to consider all of the variables. Considerations of water quality and pressure, sunlight and climate, grass type and fertilizers, including the materials and supply he picked determined  which products were best adapted for irrigation repair service in Phoenix and Scottsdale climates.”

“This lead us to develop the first popup sprinkler heads that would endure the very merciless Sonora Dessert proving grounds. We found out which products held up best in the harsh Phoenix and Scottsdale eco-environment.”

“Our Sprinkler Repair Technicians are solution providers, not order takers. Most of the time the order takers at the counter in the local hardware store have no clue what the sprinkler part is for. We look at the job at hand and analyze every detail from the terrain, plants, weather conditions, to the type of lawn all the way down to the cement that we use on a job. We want it to last you 50 years.”

Other Lawn Sprinkler Repair Service in Phoenix Cut Corners

“Most other lawn sprinkler repair service in Phoenix cut corners charging you more for lawn care. Our Sprinkler Repair Technicians are going to put in what’s right for your lawn the first time! Because I don’t want to send a technician back for the same thing in 3 months or 3 years from now. There’s no reason why you can’t install materials that last for 50 years. I can do that because we’ve been around for 75 plus years. To this day, I can go around to job sites we did that are 50 years old and they’re still working!”

“Our reputation supersedes us as the ‘Gold Standard of Excellence’ for new sprinkler installations and sprinkler repair service. It’s because we pride ourselves on an excellent job well done. We rarely have any future return work for lawn sprinkler repair service in Phoenix and Scottsdale with existing customers. We are normally hired to repair other contractors work or auditing customer sprinkler systems on a seasonal maintenance program.”

“If you want to keep it green, you do it the way my uncle did it.”

“For example, controller circuit boards can crack in the sun, solder connections can crack and break loose on the circuit board in the early days. Today, manufacturers have made tremendous stride in product improvements. One brand we are proud to use is Irritrol Controllers because they provide an antenna mounted radio transmitter that connects to their wifi system, which is more reliable than depending on wi-fi connection only to automate your sprinkler system.

We make sure that we’re installing the best parts that are reliable no matter the extreme conditions in Phoenix and Scottsdale. We use techniques that we’ve discovered from the inception of our family business, techniques that provide the least amount of service needed for the long run saving you, our customer, money.”

High Quality Materials with Low Cost Benefit to Customers 

“We don’t skimp on quality materials to increase our profit margins and we don’t have to go overboard either. It’s not always necessary to use the most expensive piping on a job. Sometimes high quality piping is not right for the job because it will shatter if it gets hit, versus a lower quality of piping that would only be pierced, thus easier and cost effective to fix.  We use logic and reason to manage the logistics of materials we choose for a sprinkler repair service in Phoenix and Scottsdale giving our customers the best for a fair investment.”

“I don’t want to send a technician back for the same job in 3 months or 3 years. There is no reason why you can’t install materials that last for 50 years. I can do that because we’ve been around for 75 years.

“There’s so much out there on the market that won’t last. We don’t need to create more problems from our own sprinkler repair. I recall crawling around on my hands and needs at Mel Clayton from Mel Clayton Ford. I was with my dad because the gophers had chewed through the pipe. I still remember the houses we’ve worked on all these years and how things were done. I’m really happy about the quality that my dad put into these jobs.

All this is about experience, experience and experience. I’ve had experience as a sprinkler technician, landscaper, lighting technician and manufacturing representative. I know why they sell good parts and bad parts. I understand how the distributer functions. This benefits my customer’s service.”

“Our goal with every job is to put in the same quality of standard that my uncle put in, that my dad put
in and that I put in. To continue the ‘Gold Standard of Excellence’ for my son and my grandson to carry forward for generations to come as the best sprinkler repair service in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.”
