Sprinkler system spring startups

Snowfall, snow removal and ground heaving can take a heavy toll on your sprinkler system. During April and May, our spring startup service will get your lawn irrigation system up and running for the season. We inspect all parts and materials for function and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a properly running system.  This can include a simple head change to the addition of entire zones or system repair.

Sprinkler system winterization

Winterization of your sprinkler system involves the removal of all the water in the pipes, lines, valves, fittings, sprinklers and pumps. If this is not done, water will freeze and expand causing the breakage of one or more of the materials in the lawn irrigation system.  The cost to repair these broken materials will be far greater than the cost of winterizing your system.

At Metro Lawn Services LLC, we winterize your sprinkler system by blowing out the water using a compressor. It is important to use the proper volume and pressure in order to remove all of the water from the system and prevent freeze damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sprinkler Spring Startups & Winterization

Why is sprinkler winterization important?

Sprinkler winterization helps protect your irrigation system from freezing temperatures during the winter months. If water remains inside the pipes, valves, or sprinkler heads, it can freeze and expand, potentially causing cracked pipes and costly sprinkler system repairs.

What happens during a sprinkler spring startup?

During a sprinkler spring startup, a technician carefully turns the irrigation system back on, checks for leaks or damaged components, tests sprinkler heads, adjusts spray patterns, and ensures each zone is operating properly for the watering season.

When should I schedule sprinkler winterization services?

Most homeowners should schedule sprinkler winterization before the first hard freeze in the fall. Early winterization helps reduce the risk of freeze damage and protects your irrigation system throughout the winter season.

Can spring startup services help identify sprinkler system repair issues?

Yes. A sprinkler spring startup is a great time to identify potential sprinkler system repair needs such as leaking valves, broken sprinkler heads, low water pressure, clogged nozzles, or damaged pipes before they become larger problems.

Why should I hire a professional irrigation company for sprinkler startups and winterization?

Hiring a professional irrigation company helps ensure your sprinkler system is properly pressurized, tested, and winterized using the correct equipment and procedures. Professional service helps protect your lawn sprinkler system and reduce the risk of expensive repairs.

Do sprinkler startups and winterization help extend the life of my irrigation system?

Yes. Routine sprinkler spring startups and winterization services help maintain the efficiency and longevity of your irrigation system by preventing freeze damage, improving performance, and identifying repair issues early.
