Winterizing your irrigation system in North Carolina is crucial for protecting it from freezing temperatures during winter. This process involves shutting down the system, turning off the water supply, and either draining or blowing out the lines to remove any remaining water. This prevents the water from freezing, expanding, and causing damage to the pipes and components. However, once spring arrives, you'll need to bring your irrigation system back online, which is where irrigation startups come in. This service involves turning the water supply back on, checking for any damage, and ensuring that the system is working correctly. By pairing these two services together, you can keep your irrigation system in tip-top shape, reducing the need for repairs and ensuring your lawn and plants receive the water they need throughout the growing season.

Winterizing your irrigation system is a crucial step in preparing it for the winter season. This process involves shutting down the system and preparing it to endure the freezing temperatures that come with winter. To do this, you'll need to turn off the water supply to the system and either drain or blow out the lines to remove any remaining water. This is important because any water left in the pipes can freeze and expand, causing damage to the system.

Once the water has been removed, you'll need to insulate any aboveground parts of the system to prevent them from freezing. This includes wrapping any exposed pipes with insulation or covering them with a protective material. By taking these steps, you can ensure that your irrigation system is properly winterized and ready to withstand the winter season.

What does an irrigation startup service involve?

When spring arrives, it's time to bring your irrigation system back online. This process is known as an irrigation startup and involves turning the water supply back on and checking for any damage that may have occurred during the winter months. Once the system has been checked for damage, you'll need to turn the water supply back on slowly to avoid any sudden pressure changes that could damage the system. After the water supply has been turned on, you'll need to check each zone of the system to ensure that the sprinklers are working correctly and that water is reaching all areas of your lawn. By signing up for an irrigation startup service, you can ensure that your irrigation system is working correctly and providing your lawn with the water it needs to thrive.
