What Is Involved in Winterizing a Lawn Sprinkler?
Winterization is to prepare or gear up for the winter weather. It is vital to do this in order to avoid damage from harsh winter weather conditions or freezing temperature levels. The majority of you probably insulate your windows in your house or ensure you have enough antifreeze in your cars and truck. So, how do you set about prepping your irrigation system? It’s a great idea to do a system check–checking each zone for leakages, making certain your rain and freeze sensing unit is working properly, and setting your controller for minimum watering or if preferred-turning off your system altogether.

Spring Lawn Sprinkler Winterization
Pipelines commonly break throughout the cold weather in Montgomery County, TX & surrounding areas if not properly cared for, or winterized correctly. An appropriately winterized home is protected from the cold and the terrible costs of burst pipes.
You need not worry, though! We can assist you to winterize your sprinkler system. If there is any water in the system’s pipelines, it can freeze, expand and break the PVC piping, normally from fitting to fitting. It might harm the internal parts and could perhaps break the brass body if water freezes in the backflow assembly. The backflow preventer valve, which helps keep the irrigation water from mixing in with potable drinking water, can likewise be damaged. Replacement of this valve would also cost you hundreds of dollars.
We at Planet Green TX Irrigation and Outdoor Design understand that not everyone has time to winterize their sprinkler system personally. This is why our irrigation system maintenance services include making sure that commercial and residential sprinklers in Spring, Texas, and nearby areas are ready for the winter season.

How Much Does Winterizing Lawn Sprinklers Cost
Even in locations that don’t generally get extremely cold, winterizing your sprinkler system is helpful when you’re not using it. When you leave water in your irrigation pipes, and the temperatures get cold, the water will freeze, expanding in your pipelines and causing cracks and defective valves.
You won’t even know you have a problem until spring rolls around, and you turn on your sprinkler system to discover that you unexpectedly have a geyser of water flooding your garden, and drenching your house or sidewalks. To prevent damage to your pipelines and valves, it’s best to call a sprinkler system company like us at Planet Green Irrigation to winterize your irrigation system for you.
