With the winter season in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut comes freezing temperatures that can damage your irrigation system. Fortunately, that's where irrigation winterization comes in! Winterization prepares your system for winter, which is why you see things about it in the fall, and it involves shutting it down, blowing out any remaining water from the lines, and disconnecting the controller. This process is vital to do because, otherwise, you risk it becoming damaged and leading to costly repairs in the spring. The best way to ensure your irrigation system is properly winterized and ready for the winter season is to hire pros, as they have the experience and know-how to get the job done right.

What is irrigation winterization, and what does it involve?

Irrigation winterization is a process that prepares your irrigation system for the winter season, hence why you're seeing things about it in the fall. It involves multiple steps to do this, with the first being to shut off the main water supply to stop water from going to it. Then, the lines are blown out using compressed air to clear them of any remaining water. After that, the controller is turned off and disconnected. Once all that is complete, your irrigation system is ready to go for winter.

Why is winterizing your irrigation system so important?

Winterizing your irrigation system is extremely important because it protects it from freeze damage. If you don't do this, you run the risk of the leftover water in your lines and sprinkler heads freezing over, which can cause them to crack, break, or even burst. This can cause significant damage to your system, thus leading to costly repairs in the spring. Not only that, but it'll also leave your vegetation without adequate hydration at the start of the growing season, as it'll take time to fix the damage to your irrigation system and get it up and running again. So, instead of facing these issues, it's best to get your irrigation system winterized before the winter hits.

Always Hire Professionals to Winterize Your Irrigation System to Ensure It's Done Right

Because irrigation winterization is such an important task, you should always hire professionals to handle it. After all, they do this for a living, so they will have the knowledge and experience to successfully perform this process and ensure it's done right so your system doesn't become damaged during the winter. Additionally, they will also usually keep an eye out for any potential issues and flag any that'll need repairing in the spring. That way, your irrigation system can be ready to go again at the start of the new growing season.

You can pair irrigation winterization with a startup service to bring your irrigation system back online in the spring and provide water to your vegetation again.
