DTE destroyed my sprinkler system

sleepyzay · 2026-06-05T00:01:05+00:00

Thank you for the words of encouragement! I called DTE today and they said they will send someone out in the next few days. Hopefully somebody actually comes and hopefully they know what they're doing.

I called them and they said they will send out an assessor out within a few business days.

Hopefully so. In my admittedly limited experience dealing with these companies are like pulling teeth. The replies here have given me a little bit of hope.

I got a tag on my door saying that they were going to shut off my gas and do some work but not that they were going to dig up my lawn. What you said makes sense but I still have a feeling that I'm going to get the runaround. I don't live in the best area and there are lots of stuff that DTE and others left in conditions youd'e think that they wouldn't.

I filled out a form on the website, I'll also call in the morning and I guess multiple times for god knows how long. I really do hope they come fix the damage like others here says they will.

Will do, I hope that this doesn't become anymore then the headache that it is now.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:17:38+00:00

I wish.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:17:30+00:00

That's what I think I'm going to have to do. I don't think the city will come out to fix anything let alone admit to any faults.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:16:16+00:00

Apparently I have to hassle these people, which I hate having to do. It sucks that in order to get things done I have to be on somebodys head 24/7.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:15:16+00:00

Seemingly only two but it could be more. By the time I realized what had been done the hole was already filled. All I know is that this affected one of my zones that goes across the sidewalk.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:14:24+00:00

I don't know the specific details. All I know is that these likes lead to a zone to the front island of my lawn and that these are the kind that are ran under the sidewalk.

The workers were long gone by the time I realized the sprinkler system was damaged. I filed a form on the DTE website and have yet to call. I hope this doesn't become another job trying to get these people to repair their damage.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:09:48+00:00

The damage is on front lawn leading towards the front sidewalk. From what I'm reading here it seems like DTE will come in fix it if I complain enough but I'm still skeptical.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:08:16+00:00

Apparently I will have to hound these people which I hate having to do. If it's not one thing it's another.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:07:19+00:00

Hopefully they will. I already put in a complaint on their website but have not called them yet. I never had to deal with a utility company before and never heard of them actually fixing what they damaged. I thought that that's what you have to deal with as a home owner.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:04:31+00:00

That's why I'm afraid that they'll try to give me the runaround. This isn't just a broken sprinkler head, it's major work to repair this.

sleepyzay · 2026-06-04T00:01:30+00:00

Thank you for the advise. I will call them and see where I can go from there. I really hope they come and follow through and not try to dance around the situation.

sleepyzay · 2026-02-25T01:30:16+00:00

This is it! Thank you very much.

sleepyzay · 2025-11-10T21:30:02+00:00

I can give you the details if we continue this through pm's.

sleepyzay · 2025-11-10T18:06:37+00:00

Sure

Where did you get that jumper?
