 Fall Winterization - It is extremely important to
have your sprinkler system properly shut down in the fall. Freezing water inside pipes causes
severe damage to the system and requires costly repairs to rectify. We schedule from the first week
of October to the 15th of November every year and we will try to maintain the same day of the
week and time from year to year. We will mail out scheduled dates and times at the end
of September or first of October and follow-up with a phone call a day or two
prior to your winterization.
Before we Arrive:
First - Close the main shutoff valve to the sprinkler system in the basement.
Second - Open drain valve located above the main shutoff valve and drain water into a pair.
Third - Close the drain valve (Note the some systems do not have a basement drain valve.)
After we Winterize:
Open the drain valve. Keep drain valve open until spring. Call us if drain continues to drip.
Freeze Warning - Follow "Before we Arrive" steps above and cover the vacuum breaker on
the outside of the house if the temperature is expected to go below 25 degrees
before we winterize.
 Spring Turn On - While we do provide
this service to many customers, most systems can be turned on relatively easily. We do not recommend starting
up your system until after you pay Uncle Sam your taxes (April 15) and a good target date to start your irrigation
is Mothers Day (mid May). If you choose to turn on your own system, we recommend the following procedures. Begin
with setting your controller and then turn on your back yard zone or valve. Now you can pressurize the system. As
you proceed thru each zone, take your favorite beverage for a walk in the yard to make sure everything
is working. Any concerns? Give us a call.
