Sprinkler winterization is essential to prevent costly damage when temperatures drop. Water expands as it freezes—if it’s trapped in pipes, sprinkler heads, or valves, it can cause cracks, bursts, and major repair headaches come spring.
Why winterization matters:
– Prevents cracked pipes and broken components
– Protects valves, heads, and backflow preventers
– Saves you from costly spring repairs
Key steps in sprinkler winterization:
- Shut off the water supply
- Drain the system or blow it out with compressed air
- Insulate exposed components like pipes and backflow devices
When to winterize:
Before the first hard freeze—typically late fall. Watch for consistent overnight temps below freezing and early signs of frost.
Book your winterization appointment early and beat the rush. #WhatToKnowWednesday
