Proper winterization can save you big in the long run
Winterizing your irrigation system every year is an important step to maintaining efficiency and protecting components for the long-term. Some homeowners may consider winterizing their systems themselves. While this is always an option, there are many clear benefits to having a professional winterize the system for you. Here are the top reasons we think it’s sometimes better to go with a pro!
1. Professionals have the right equipment
One of the key steps to closing your system for the winter is flushing all water from your pipes. Failure to do so can lead to burst pipes or damaged components by the time spring comes around. A professional team will use an industrial-grade air compressor to fully flush your lines so you can rest assured that no water will freeze your pipes!
2. Irrigation systems can be complex
Modern irrigation systems are highly sophisticated systems that include numerous valves, sprinkler heads, piping, controllers and other components. If you don’t understand how all these components work together, you can run into complications as you shut down your system. Irrigation professionals have years of experience maintaining, building and repairing these complex systems. So it's best to call an expert when you want your system winterized properly.
3. Experts get it done faster
When you know how to complete a task, it always goes a lot quicker. Professionals will typically be able to finish winterizing your system in a single afternoon. Often it is about half the time it would take a less-experienced person to complete the job.
4. Professionals get it done right
Of course the best reason to hire professionals is to ensure that every last detail of the job is completed properly. Properly trained technicians will check every component carefully to make sure that it has been properly winterized for the season. In the long run this will actually save you money, as your system will be protected and keep functioning optimally for years to come.
