Winterize Your Irrigation System

Don't Wait To Protect Your System

With the shift in temperatures away from summer and into winter, plan ahead for winterizing your irrigation system by scheduling a visit from a contractor. We do suggest that you schedule this appointment for late November, around Thanksgiving time. This allows for water to be available for any warm days in the absence of rainfall.

Winterizing your sprinkler system is essential before freezing temperatures set in. If you fail to winterize your irrigation system correctly, any water left in the lines can freeze, expand, crack, and possibly cause costly damage.  There are different ways of winterizing your system. The most common methods include draining the system from the valves and/or using an air compressor to blow it out of the irrigation pipes. Make sure you confirm what works best for your system with your irrigation company as you don’t want to cause any considerable damage.

Finally, you should drain outdoor hoses and bring them into a garage, or other warmer environment, so they don’t freeze and crack. It’s also a great idea to shut down water to outside faucets to avoid freezing pipes and the possibility of future damage.
