Hello Denver! Looking for more heirloom and unique varieties of veggies starts this year. Specifically tomatoes, peppers, and squash! Any recommendations would be appreciated! Happy gardening season 2026! 🌱

Anywhere Rooter out of Aurora tried to scam me out of $1800, told me my backflow preventer was broken and needed total replacement. Got a second opinion and it wasn’t fine, second opinion didn’t even charge me. Anywhere Rooter will not even refund me the service ticket and said “it’s your world against ours”.

I contacted the BBB and from my last post turns out I’m not the only one this has happened to. The local news is looking into case.

I have already let the company supervisor know, but I had a guy from Anywhere Rooter come out to check my backflow preventer, it was new to me and seemed to be gushing water when I turned it on. He came out and told me it was broken, quoted me $1800 to replace the entire system, said he couldn’t do it any less! I said no, he rudely commented “I know you’re good for the money” to which I told him to fuck off - what a comment in this economy!! Nah, I don’t need an $1800 sprinkler fix in the middle of a drought.

Today, my neighbor came to look because he used to do sprinklers for his job. Apparently, a valve that is meant to be left open was left open, I didn’t know I needed to close it to close the system (you use a flathead! I’m sorry! I didn’t have an obvious valve!)

Soooooooooo….the guy totally lied to me. Everything was in complete working order and he tired to get me to pay $1800 to replace it for nothing. INSANE!!!
