Irrigation Winterization

What This Service Involves

Water left in irrigation lines through a Pacific Northwest freeze expands and cracks pipes, valves, and heads – turning a small seasonal chore into an expensive spring repair. We winterize your system by shutting off the supply and using compressed air to blow out every zone, clearing water from the lines, valves, and heads. Done before the first hard freeze, winterization protects your whole system and is one of the cheapest ways to avoid costly freeze damage.
