Don’t forget to Winterize your irrigation system.
Perhaps nothing causes more damage and havoc to an irrigation system than frozen pipes. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Scheduling a professional Winterization of your system is the best insurance for a trouble free start-up next Spring!
IT’S A FACT
All pipes are susceptible to cracking and leaking. That probability significantly rises when water is left in irrigation pipes throughout the cold winter months. Middle Tennessee winters can be mild, but they are notoriously unpredictable.
Even a brief cold snap can cause water left in pipes to freeze and expand. That expansion often leads to breaking pipes and joints that leak. The solution? Winterize!
THE PROCESS
Green Scene professionals use regulated air pressure to purge your irrigation lines of all water from system use. Regardless when your system was last utilized, residual water remains in your lines. To properly winterize your system, it’s simply not enough to just turn off the timer and water to your system. It is absolutely critical to remove residual water to prevent freezing and subsequent pipe damage.
But it’s also important to use the right amount of pressure. Too much pressure, and you can actually damage the very pipes and sprinkler heads you’re attempting to protect! Unless you’re a professional, doing it yourself is not a good idea and can result in expensive repairs.
