As temperatures drop, your sprinkler system faces a major threat: freezing water. If not properly winterized, leftover water in your system can freeze, expand, and cause significant damage to pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads. Winterization isn’t just an optional service—it’s essential to protect your investment and ensure your irrigation system is ready for spring.
The Dangers of Skipping Winterization
When water freezes inside your sprinkler system, it can:
- Crack pipes and sprinkler heads.
- Damage expensive components like valves and backflow prevention devices.
- Lead to costly repairs come spring.
What Does Winterization Involve?
Winterization removes all water from your system to prevent freezing damage. This process typically includes:
- Turning off the water supply to your irrigation system.
- Draining pipes and components using pressurized air.
- Inspecting your system for existing issues that could worsen during winter.
Benefits of Professional Winterization
While DIY options exist, professional winterization ensures every part of your system is properly cleared and protected. Experts have the tools and experience to prevent freeze damage and extend the life of your sprinkler system.
