How to compare quotes

  • Ask each contractor to describe where the water will go and what outlet they will use
  • Compare the same scope: length of drain or pipe, number of inlets, and outlet type
  • Ask what restoration is included (sod, concrete, beds, irrigation repairs)
  • Ask who handles utility locates, permits and HOA approval
  • Ask about warranty and what happens if the problem is not solved
