"I had a disappointing experience with Sprinklawn for their lawn irrigation services. Here's what happened: The crew arrived late for the first appointment, which was supposed to be done in 30 minutes to an hour. They couldn’t force air out of two zones because they didn’t have the right tools or enough time. The technician said someone would have to come back later to fix it. On the second visit, the team tried again, but still couldn’t find the valves. Instead, they hooked the pressure to a sprinkler head, which isn’t the right way to do it. This crew came 20 minutes early and spent less than 20 minutes on the job. They said they were too busy and would need to finish it in the spring. After they left, I noticed a sprinkler head in my yard was broken. I had replaced that head less than two years ago, so I think it broke during their work. When I told the technicians my concerns, they just said they didn’t have enough time. When I called customer service, they gave me the owner’s number. The owner, Gary, was very matter-of-fact and said the way they handled it was the only option because my system is old. My main concerns are: Sprinklawn doesn’t seem to fix problems correctly the first time. Their process seems to add extra stress to my irrigation system, causing more issues later. Customer service is poor. They didn’t even offer a credit for the sprinkler head they broke. I won’t use Sprinklawn again because of the poor service and lack of care. I gave two stars because they have been good at repairs in the past when they had enough time and the right tools. But this experience was very frustrating."

Roof Ice and Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Ice dam removal is costly, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you leave an ice dam as is and don’t take care of it, you’re looking at potentially dangerous situations and high-cost repairs—like roof collapse, leaks, mold problems, gutter damage, and more. Removing ice dams is essential to keeping your home and your family safe in the snowy season.

There is no hard and fast rule about using a snowblower on a specific amount of inches, but most snow removal experts suggest using one on 2 or more inches of snow for best results. This will also depend on what type of surface you’re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. 

Costs depend on property size, snowfall frequency, and additional services like de-icing or hauling snow offsite.

You may be wondering if you really need the snow removed from your roof. Since most roofs can only handle 20 pounds per square foot of snow accumulation, there is a tipping point when you are suddenly at risk of roof collapse. This can cause a lot of damage, not just to your home, but to your belongings, too. It also poses a physical danger to your family. Also, a lot of snow on a roof makes it more susceptible to ice dams, leaks, and water damage.

Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.
