A sprinkler system in your yard is a great way to keep your lawn looking vibrant all year round. However, in the winter, there are some steps to take to ensure you have a properly working system in the spring. Learning these tips for sprinkler system winterization in Lynnwood, provided by Eagles Landscaping Services, will help you to get on the road to a solid system all year.
Take these tips into account or call our company to help ensure that your sprinklers work correctly for as long as possible:
Shut Off the Main Valve And Insulate
The main water supply to the system must be shut off for the winter. You then want to insulate it to avoid being frozen and bursting during the cold temperatures. If you don’t seem to have a main shut-off valve, this is where our team can help. We provide installation services to help you take care of that quickly and efficiently.
Drain The Pipes
This is sometimes done with a drain valve installed on your system. If you do not have one, this is where the professionals come in. Our technicians will drain the system for you to ensure it’s done correctly and completely. Water in pipes can freeze and burst a pipe. This could be something that is missed until it is thawing out again. You want to prevent that by getting all the water out of the lines beforehand.
Shut Off Timers
If you have a timer system installed, make sure to turn them off during winter. This prevents any of the sprinklers from trying to work without water or pulling it back into the lines.
