Why is winterizing so important?
Winterizing your sprinkler system is a crucial step in protecting your investment and ensuring it works smoothly when spring arrives. When temperatures drop, any leftover water in the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads can freeze and expand, putting stress on the system. This often leads to cracked pipes, broken sprinkler heads, and costly repairs that could have been easily avoided. By winterizing, we make sure your system is completely drained and prepared for the cold months, saving you from potential headaches and expenses down the line. It's a simple, preventative measure that keeps your system in top shape, so it’s ready to go when your lawn needs it most. Winterizing now means you’re protecting your property and your wallet, setting yourself up for a hassle-free start to the spring season.
How does winterizing work?
Winterizing a sprinkler system involves a few key steps to ensure all water is removed, preventing any freeze damage over the winter. First, we shut off the water supply to the sprinkler system at the main valve. Then, we drain the water from the pipes by opening any manual or automatic drainage valves, depending on the setup. In many systems, especially those in colder climates, we also use compressed air to blow out any remaining water from the pipes, sprinkler heads, and valves, ensuring no water is left to freeze and expand. Once the system is fully drained, we turn off the controller or set it to "rain" mode, which keeps it from trying to activate during the winter. This entire process protects the pipes, valves, and heads from cracking due to freezing water and keeps your system in good shape for the spring season!
How much does winterizing cost?
Winterizing your sprinkler system is a smart investment to prevent costly repairs and ensure it functions well in the spring. Our winterization service for residential homes is competitively priced at $120 for systems with up to six zones and $140 for those with more than six zones. This service includes shutting off the water, fully draining the pipes, and blowing out any remaining water with compressed air, ensuring that your sprinkler system is thoroughly protected from freeze damage. By spending a small amount now, you can avoid major expenses later, since repairs for frozen or cracked pipes and sprinkler heads often cost far more. Winterizing gives you peace of mind, knowing your system is safe for the winter season.
