Our Approach To Winterizing an Irrigation System
When we come out to your property to winterize your irrigation system, our focus is always on protecting the system from the risk of freezing and keeping it from turning on during the off-season. We’ll also fix any minor malfunctions to ensure the system is ready for use when spring comes around.
Some of the things we do during the winterization process include the following:
Turning off the water supply to the sprinkler system
Removing water from the sprinkler system
Turning off the sprinkler controller
Checking the ignition valves
Inspecting the entire irrigation system
Upon completion of our winterization services, we’ll carefully document the state of your irrigation system and recommend changes you can make where necessary.
Skipping maintenance can lead to uneven watering, wasted water, and costly repairs. Annual sprinkler maintenance keeps your system in check, so your lawn stays lush, green, and properly hydrated.
The Downsides To Ignoring Sprinkler Winterization Services
Some of the things that might happen if you ignore winterization include the following:
Burst pipes
In the rare event that we get freezing temperatures, any water in your irrigation pipes can freeze and expand the pipes, causing them to burst. Partial shutdown of the sprinklers can also have the same effect if the system kicks into gear for some reason.
Broken sprinkler heads
Freezing weather and very cold air can also cause sprinkler heads and nozzles to crack or break.
Backflow preventer damage
A frozen backflow preventer means costly repairs.
Costly repairs in spring
Poor winterization can lead to burst pipes, rust, and even landscape damage. These problems are all costly to repair.
Reduced system efficiency
Without winterization, you won’t know the state of your irrigation system. You could go into the growing season with an underperforming system or one that will require significant modifications.
Increased risk of mold and fungal growth
Excessive moisture from leaks and broken pipes can make the environment conducive for mold and fungal growth. This can introduce disease to a formerly healthy lawn.
Your lawn should be stress-free and beautiful. Professional irrigation services take the hassle out of watering, ensuring your yard stays green, fresh, and healthy with minimal effort on your part.

The Advantages of Winterization Services
The advantages of choosing our winterization service include the following:
Lower risk of pipe bursts
Proper winterization reduces the risk of your pipes bursting in the rare event of extremely cold temperatures. Winterization also reduces the risk of sprinkler components coming on suddenly and causing damage.
Save money on repairs
When you protect your irrigation system from damage during the off-season, you won’t have surprise repairs to contend with when spring rolls around.
Extended system lifespan
Winterization often means fixing minor problems in readiness for the growing season. Such regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your sprinkler system, keeping it functional through the years.
Consistent system efficiency
With a properly winterized system, you can be sure of optimal usage and distribution when the system is back in use.
Lower risk of landscape damage
Professional winterization reduces the chances of leaks and bursts that may cause soil erosion, wash away some of your landscape vegetation, and possibly introduce root rot and other diseases.
Peace of mind
As you kick back and relax this winter during the holiday season, you don’t want to worry about your sprinkler system working when it shouldn’t, nor do you want to experience a burst pipe. Adequate winterization can help ensure that peace of mind.
Easier activation for spring
It’s easier to activate a properly winterized system in spring. The technicians won’t have to spend time on completing repairs.
Improved eco-friendliness
An irrigation system properly prepared for winter will not waste water during the off-season.
Adherence to warranty terms
Most sprinkler system manufacturers include maintenance of the system (which is half the winterization process) as a part of their warranty conditions.
