Winterizing your irrigation system is crucial, as it involves shutting it down in preparation for the winter season here in Colorado to keep it from becoming damaged due to freezing temperatures. However, once spring rolls around, you will need to bring it back online. Because of this, you should pair winterization with an irrigation startup service. This service is equally important to ensure your system is up and running again to deliver much-needed water to your vegetation. By combining winterization and startup services, you can keep your irrigation system in tip-top shape year after year while reducing the need for repairs.


Winterizing Your Irrigation System Will Prepare It for the Winter

We experience freezing temperatures during the winter season in our area, so winterizing your irrigation system is essential. Irrigation winterization is a process that involves shutting off the water supply and blowing any remaining water out of the pipes to prevent it from freezing, which can severely damage them by causing them to crack and burst. This service will prepare your system for the upcoming colder months and help you avoid costly repairs come spring.

The best time to winterize your irrigation system is before the first frost, between October and mid-November.


An Irrigation Startup Service Will Bring Your System Back Online in the Spring

Once winter transitions into spring, it's time to bring your irrigation system back online so that it can deliver much-needed water to your grass and plants. That's where an irrigation startup service comes in. This service involves slowly turning the water supply back on and setting the zones and timer. Not only that, but experts will also inspect your entire system to check for any necessary repairs. That way, they can get that done to ensure it's ready for the new growing season and operates at peak performance.


Pairing irrigation winterization and startups will keep your system in tip-top shape.

The best way to keep your irrigation system in tip-top shape is by pairing winterization with startups. When you do, you can reduce damages and the need for repairs. After all, winterizing it will keep it from becoming damaged due to freezing temperatures, meaning it will be ready to go come spring. Additionally, during startups, pros will look out for any issues and promptly fix them before they worsen. Not only will this save you money in the long run, but it also increases the longevity of your irrigation system and ensures it continues to operate at peak performance. With both services, you can maintain its functionality and keep your vegetation well-watered throughout the growing season.
