Winterizing your sprinkler system is essential to protect it from freeze damage and costly repairs. At Smart Irrigation, Lighting & Drainage Solutions, we provide thorough, professional winterization services to keep your system safe during the colder months and ready to perform when spring arrives.
Why Sprinkler Winterization Matters
Your sprinkler system is a significant investment, and winter temperatures in Texas, while mild compared to northern states, can still drop low enough to cause damage.
- Prevents Freeze Damage: Water left in pipes or valves can freeze, expand, and crack fittings, heads, and underground lines, leading to expensive repairs in the spring.
- Extends System Lifespan: Proper winterization protects your equipment and maintains optimal function for years to come.
- Saves Money & Hassle: Avoids emergency repairs and replacement costs caused by freeze-related damage.
Even one hard freeze can cause extensive damage if your system isn’t properly prepared. That’s why winterizing before temperatures drop is crucial.
Our Sprinkler Winterization Process
At Smart Irrigation, Lighting & Drainage Solutions, we follow a proven winterization process to ensure your system is fully protected:
- System Inspection
- We begin with a complete inspection to identify leaks or damage that should be addressed before winterizing.
- Shut-Off & Drainage
- We turn off the water supply to your irrigation system and drain above-ground components to prevent freezing.
- Blow-Out Method (If Needed)
- For systems that require it, we use specialized air compressors to blow out remaining water from pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads, ensuring no water is left to freeze.
- Controller & Backflow Preparation
- We adjust your controller settings for winter mode and protect your backflow preventer according to local regulations and best practices.
- Final System Check & Recommendations
- After winterizing, we provide recommendations for any repairs needed in spring and ensure your system is fully prepared for cold weather.
