As winter looms in Minnesota, you’re probably thinking about breaking out your winter garb, getting ready to find a snow plow company to make your life a little easier, and budgeting for the heating and electric bills you’ll be paying once the colder weather hits. Have you thought about what your sprinklers will be doing this winter, though? At Wet and Wild Irrigation, we provide wintertime irrigation system maintenance, winterizing sprinkler systems so that you don’t have to think about your sprinklers again until springtime, when we turn them back on for use. To protect your sprinklers and prevent irrigation system damage, give your sprinklers the attention you give to the rest of your home during the winter, and invest in our Coon Rapids, MN sprinkler winterizing services.
Irrigation System Maintenance for Longer-Lasting Sprinklers
Maintaining your sprinklers is a crucial element of keeping your irrigation system working properly. If you neglect your irrigation system’s seasonal needs, you’ll open yourself up to the financial burden of making potentially expensive sprinkler repairs, or worse, replacing your irrigation system long before it should need replacing. Instead of wasting your time and your money on sprinkler repairs, prevent sprinkler system damage this winter with proper winter sprinkler maintenance. Sprinkler winterization will keep your irrigation system from freezing, corroding, and breaking, ensuring that when you go to start it back up next spring, you’re not surprised by a malfunctioning sprinkler system.
Sprinkler System Winter Preparation
Preparing your irrigation system for winter, or winterizing your sprinklers, involves flushing the entire irrigation system. By flushing your sprinkler system, we eliminate any leftover water that’s sitting in your system and won’t be used for months. If not removed, sprinkler water leftover in irrigation systems can and will freeze during the winter, causing sprinkler line damage in any number of places in your irrigation system. You could be looking at cracked or broken sprinkler lines, corroded sprinkler lines, or entirely cracked sprinkler systems that need to be replaced before you can turn your sprinklers back on for spring. To prevent irrigation system damage, take the simple step of winterizing your sprinkler system by pumping out excess water before shutting your system down for the season.
Springtime Sprinkler Startup and Tests after Winter Sprinkler Shutdown
Once you’ve take the necessary steps to prevent winter sprinkler damage, you can rest easy knowing that, come springtime, your sprinklers will be in good working order. After we’ve pumped and shut down your irrigation system for the winter, removing excess water from your sprinkler lines, we’ll make sure that your sprinklers start up properly in the spring by testing your system.
