A Boring Business That Quietly Makes A Fortune

What’s One “Boring” Business You’ve Seen Quietly Making a Fortune?
One response…
Sprinkler repair. My dad did it and stopped because he felt like he was scamming people lol.
Going rate to replace a sprinkler head is $150. The head costs $20-30 and you just have to dig a little hole and unscrew the old head and screw on a new one. Or if the pipe is cracked and leaking you just splice a little pvc.

That’s a good one because it doesn’t take a lot of certifications or anything complex to work on sprinklers.
I just paid a little over $400 yesterday for sprinkler repairs. A few days ago I noticed a “wet spot” in the yard. The sprinkler was damaged in a storm where a big tree fell over on my yard, not too bad but at some point it needed to get fixed.
I didn’t want to stand out there digging a hole to expose so I paid $400 and my problem went away while I sat in the air conditioned house.
