Imagine stepping outside in the blazing August heat, only to find your lawn gasping for water and your plants withering fast.
Now imagine learning the culprit isn’t the weather, but a busted sprinkler line, thanks to a recent cable burial job in your yard.
That’s exactly what one Benbrook resident is dealing with after AT&T crews accidentally struck the trunk line of their irrigation system while laying cable. Water’s now gushing in one spot and skipping the rest of the yard entirely.
To make matters worse, the response from AT&T has been murky at best. Delayed callbacks and vague promises to “assess in 7 to 10 business days” offer little comfort when it’s 100 degrees out and your yard is cooking.
This isn’t a one-off story. Others in the area have shared similar experiences, with some residents footing the bill themselves after contractors and service providers pointed fingers at each other. One homeowner said their lawn started browning before they even knew there was a problem. After all, not everyone’s up at 4 AM to monitor their irrigation cycles.
Still, there is a silver lining. Benbrook neighbors are coming through with helpful tips and repair recommendations. Some have suggested calling Chris Benton for quality sprinkler repairs, while others mentioned LandPro Irrigation, though prices and response times vary. The general consensus? Most local irrigation companies can handle this kind of damage, but it’s best to act fast.
So if you find water pooling where it shouldn’t be, or worse, not where it should, know you’re not alone. And if the company responsible isn’t stepping up, your neighbors just might point you in the right direction.
