Winterizing your irrigation system is an important task as it ensures your system is prepared to make it through the harsh winter season. Because this is such an important task, you should make sure that you hire a company with a lot of experience to perform it. A company with a lot of experience winterizing irrigation systems will be able to complete the job correctly and efficiently and you'll be able to rest easy knowing that the job will get done right, allowing your system to be protected throughout the winter season.


The company you hire should have the ability to make repairs.

Before you hire a company to winterize your irrigation system, you'll want to make sure the company can also make repairs if needed. That's because there is a chance that a problem could be discovered with your system while they are performing the winterization service, such as:

  • Broken valves
  • Broken pipes
  • Leaks
  • Broken sprinkler heads

In case any of these issues are found, you'll need to take care of them right away. If the company you hired to winterize your system also offers repairs, they will be able to repair any issues with your system as soon as possible, so your system will be ready to go when spring arrives.

Always hire professionals to perform any irrigation repairs because you could cause additional damage to your system if you try to make them yourself.


Be sure the company you decide to hire offers an irrigation startup service.

It is essential to hire a reliable company to perform a startup service for your system so everything will be working correctly once turned back on. It is highly recommended to use the same company that winterized your system to perform your startup. That way, you can feel confident that the company you already trusted to shut down your system will be the same one turning it back on.
