Wain's Irrigation

Wain's Irrigation has done one thing in Methuen since 1990: put inground lawn sprinkler systems in the ground and keep them running. Wayne Walworth owns it, four people work there, and BBB lists a Massachusetts start date of 1 January 1990 — 36 years of the same trade out of 387 Pelham St. The work has widened a little around that core. Porch's listing adds drip irrigation, garden mist systems and hydroseeding to the sprinkler installs, and shows a 4.9 average across 28 ratings. One small thing to square before you call: Porch says 39 years in business, while BBB's 1 January 1990 start date works out to 36. If longevity is part of why you are calling, ask Walworth when the business actually started. This is the call for a Methuen-area homeowner who wants a sprinkler system put in, or an existing one serviced, by people who do only that. Ask for a written zone-by-zone scope and price, settle who handles winterizing and spring start-up, and ask for a current certificate of liability insurance.
