Why Not Winterize Myself?

Even avid DIYers can get busy and not find the time to do this all-important maintenance task. And let’s face it, even DIYers would rather do something better than crawl on the ground or under the house to their valves and connect up airlines. In addition, many homeowners feel they can winterize their systems themselves, but we have industrial-grade equipment to get the winterization process done faster and more effectively.

Why Do I Need To Winterize My Sprinkler System?

In the climate of Ocean County, the winter months will endure freezing temperatures. When water freezes over to ice it expands. This expansion will inevitably break components of your irrigation system. This can cause something as simple as a sprinkler head malfunctioning but can also cause severe leaks potentially causing damage to your home. Winterizing your sprinkler system is the most important form of preventative maintenance that should not be skipped. Not only does it protect your investment in your sprinkler system but also your home.

How We Winterize Your Sprinkler System

• Turn Off The Water Supply: We’ll ensure the source that supplies water to your irrigation system is turned off or disconnected as needed and that the system is properly vented to reduce damages in case of valve failure or accidental startup.
• Drain The Lines: Using a high-power air compressor, we will connect to your drain port and use air to push water out of the lines of each zone, creating the necessary room for expansion as residual water freezes and thaws throughout the winter.
• Deactivate The Controller: Once the lines are cleared of water, we’ll turn the controller “off” and disconnect from external components as needed.

After that, your irrigation system should be winterized and ready for the cold temperatures to come, protecting your home against leaks related to your sprinkler system and ensuring a smooth system start-up in the spring.
