Having a beautiful, green lawn all summer long is great, but when winter arrives, don’t let your irrigation system be out of sight and out of mind. If you want your system to last and help you maintain a beautiful lawn year after year, take some time to schedule irrigation winterization.
The Importance of Irrigation Winterization
You’re probably careful to look after your irrigation system when you really need it. After all, it’s easy to tell when your sprinkler system needs maintenance when you’re actively using it.
Irrigation winterization may not be as visibly important, but it shouldn’t be ignored. If you’ve ever dripped the water from your faucets when the temperature drops very low to keep water from freezing in your pipes, you know how cold weather can wreak havoc on water fixtures.
Irrigation winterization, while a bit more involved than just dripping water, has the same principle. Water expands as it freezes, so without irrigation winterization, any water left in your system can leave you with burst pipes, damaged fittings, and cracked sprinkler heads.
