3 Easy Steps to Protect Your Investment
Here are 3 easy steps to help prevent damage to your system prior to being professionally winterized
- Step 1 - Turn The Water: Turn the water to the sprinkler system off inside your home (usually located in the basement) This picture is typically what a backflow would look like. To turn off the sprinkler system, the sprinkler valve is located inside your house where the backflow enters.
- Step 2 - Wrap a Towel: Wrap a towel or small blanket around the backflow
- Step 3 - Cover the Towel: Cover the towel or blanket with a garbage bag. Use duct tape to secure the bag so it will not blow off.
The Process of Winterizing Your System
- Access the Timer: Find the timer to ensure the system is off.
- Blowing Out the System: Blow out the irrigation lines with compressed air to remove any excess water.
- Handle the Spigot or Plug: If your system has a plug, we’ll place it in a plastic bag and tape it to the backflow after blowing out the system. If your system has a spigot, we will leave it open or remove the plug.
- Wrapping the Backflow: For added protection, we recommend wrapping and insulating the backflow.
Benefits of Installing a Sprinkler System
There are many benefits to installing a sprinkler system on your property. Here are just a few reasons why investing in an irrigation system can improve the health and appearance of your lawn and garden:
- Efficient Watering: A sprinkler system delivers water directly to the root zones of plants, ensuring that they receive the right amount of water without wastage. This can help prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot and other plant diseases.
- Time-saving: With an automated sprinkler system, you won't have to spend time manually watering your lawn and garden. This can save you time and effort, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without the hassle of dragging around hoses or sprinklers.
- Consistent watering: A sprinkler system can provide a consistent and even distribution of water, helping to prevent dry patches and overwatered areas in your lawn and garden. This can promote healthier plant growth and reduce the risk of disease.
- Increase property value: Well-maintained landscaping can increase the curb appeal and overall value of your property. An efficient irrigation system can help keep your lawn and garden looking lush and healthy, which can attract potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home.
- Environmental benefits: By using a targeted irrigation system, you can reduce water waste and promote water conservation. This can help lower your water bills and minimize your impact on the environment.
