Spring Start-Up & Winterization

Spring Start-up

Between March and June, we recommend our spring start-up service to get your sprinkler system up and running for the season. We will inspect all the components to ensure your system is fully prepared for the upcoming watering season. This service includes:

  • Turn water on check for leaks
  • Inspecting the plumbing and connections at the water sources
  • Turning on each active zone to evaluate whether adjustments or repairs are needed
  • Making minor repairs to system components (major repairs and modifications will have to be done at a later appointment)
  • Checking the rain sensor for proper operation
  • Program the controller and set the appropriate watering schedule

Scheduling a Spring Start-Up depends on weather conditions and individual watering needs. We do send out a reminder postcard for your convenience. Spring is our busy season, so please schedule with us as soon as you can.

Winterization

Although we typically enjoy mild winters, we still experience periods of freezing temperatures. Your irrigation system needs to be properly shut down to avoid any freeze damage.

Our Winterization Service Includes:

  • Depressurizing and draining the irrigation water source(s)
  • Blowing any residual water out of lines for each zone using a commercial air compressor
  • Blowing any residual water out of lines for each zone using a commercial air compressor
  • Deactivating the controller

Contact us between October and November to make sure we can get you in before the real cold settles in.
