Winterization protects an irrigation system from freeze damage. We shut the system down and clear water from the lines using the method that fits the property, including blow-out where compressed air is the right approach, or drains at low points when the system is built for that.
When this service is needed
- Water left in pipes, valves, or heads heading into freezing nights.
- A system that was damaged in a previous winter and never fully winterized.
- Uncertainty about when to shut down in the Salt Lake, Park City, or Tooele climate.
- A DIY shutoff that closed the valve but never cleared the lines.
What the service includes
- System shut down at the end of the watering season.
- Clearing water from the irrigation lines with a blow-out or by opening drains at low points when the system allows it.
- Attention to valves, heads, and other components that hold water.
- A basic check for issues that should be repaired before next spring.
How it helps
- Lower risk of burst pipes and cracked valves after a hard freeze.
- A cleaner spring startup because the system was shut down on purpose.
- Seasonal service from a company that already works on the same systems for repairs and startups.
- Help keeping a yearly maintenance schedule instead of reacting after damage.
