Why winterize a sprinkler system?
Water left in the lines freezes, expands and cracks whatever it's in: pipe, fittings, valves, sprinkler heads, the backflow preventer. Indiana gets plenty of nights below freezing, and the damage stays hidden until the system is turned back on in spring.
How does winterization work?
We shut the water off
The water supply to the sprinkler system is turned off for the season.
We clear the lines
Water is cleared out of the system, zone by zone, so there's nothing left in it to freeze.
It's ready for spring
When the weather warms up, a sprinkler system startup brings it back.
Which packages include winterization?
All three. Basic, Preferred and Premium each end the season with winterization.
