When you think about sprinkler repair in North Texas, you probably don’t imagine a whale on a work shirt. But that’s exactly what sets Whale Done Sprinklers & Irrigation apart.
Recently, our very own Robert Gould sat down with Buddy Broyals on the Growing Your Business podcast to share the story behind our brand, our values, and how we help homeowners across Plano sprinkler repair services, McKinney sprinkler repair, and beyond keep their lawns green and their water bills low.
From Landscaping to Sprinkler Repair Specialists
Whale Done may be a new name in town — officially launched in April 2024 — but Robert brings more than 15 years of experience in landscaping and home services. After years of mowing yards and handling general outdoor projects, he decided to niche down into sprinkler repair and drainage solutions.
Why? Because homeowners deserve a company that fixes it right the first time and provides long-term solutions, not temporary patches.

The Whale Done Process
When our technicians arrive, they don’t just swap parts and leave. Instead, they:
- Diagnose the root cause of the problem (leaks, valves, electrical issues).
- Use advanced tools to pinpoint breaks or inefficiencies.
- Provide customers with clear repair options — whether it’s a simple fix or a phased solution.
This way, homeowners know exactly what’s going on and can decide what works best for their budget and peace of mind.
More Than Repairs: Maintenance & Membership Plans
A highlight from the conversation was Robert explaining our Family Plan membership. For homeowners, this is like having an irrigation technician on call whenever you need one.
Members enjoy:
- Priority scheduling with no trip/diagnostic fees.
- Special member pricing on repairs.
- Seasonal check-ups (spring start-up, winter shut-off).
- Unlimited nozzle replacements (perfect for families with kids and pets).

Saving Water, Saving Money
North Texas homeowners know the pain of rising water bills. Robert shared how smart technology can help:
- Wi-Fi controllers that adjust schedules remotely.
- Rain/freeze sensors that prevent waste during bad weather.
- Flow sensors that instantly detect leaks or inefficiencies.
These solutions can reduce water bills by up to 30%, while helping homeowners do their part in conserving resources.

The Story Behind the Whale
One of the most memorable moments was the story of our branding. With the help of KickCharge Creative, experts in home service branding, Whale Done Sprinklers & Irrigation came to life with a fun, bold identity.
Today, Weldon the Whale isn’t just our mascot — he’s a conversation starter, a character in our upcoming children’s book on water conservation, and even the face of our branded toys and coloring books for families.
Because business should be memorable, fun, and impactful.
Why We Love What We Do
As Robert puts it, service and sales are two sides of the same coin. It’s not about pushing products — it’s about creating options and building trust. Many of our service calls turn into meaningful conversations with homeowners, where we learn about their lives and give them peace of mind through better sprinkler systems.
