Irrigation Winterization

It is time to start thinking about irrigation winterization.  This spring we saw a number of systems that had not winterized or winterized properly and many had broken pipes and or broken backflows.  The price to repair these problems is extremely high in comparison to the cost to winterize properly.  We use high pressure air compressors to blow out the entire system and if your backflow is removable we will remove it and place it inside your garage so it can’t be stolen or destroyed over the winter when not in use.  If you schedule your winterization early and we can get it done before freezing weather we will guarantee your system against freezing damage.  If temperatures drop below freezing earlier than expected as they did last year and you are already signed up for winterization you will get warnings from us via email and instructions on how to protect your equipment from damage.  We did not have any damage from systems that were signed up last year due to early freezing temperatures as our customers are wonderful about reading their emails and following our instructions to protect their investments.

Last year we winterized 1500 systems so scheduling is critical to making sure everyone is winterized before any chance of freezing occurs.  For us to do our part it is critical you do yours.  Your part is to sign up for the service now!  We are able to keep our price down because we schedule to be in different areas on different days so we can do up to 100 homes in a day.  To do this it is imperative that when we give you the day we will be at your home you make sure we have access to your controller and backflow.  If we get to a property and have no access we will assess a $35 service call fee for a trip and put you at the end of the schedule.  If the day we give you is not going to work for you please contact us immediately and we will work out another day.  We can’t guarantee the time of day for service.
