Ideal For
Spring start-up service is essential for all property owners with irrigation systems in regions with freezing winter temperatures. It's particularly important for those who had their system winterized in fall and need professional reactivation.
Consult First
If your system was not properly winterized or you've noticed visible damage to components, mention this when scheduling. Systems that have been modified or expanded since last season may require additional assessment time.
Why Spring Start-Up Matters
Winter weather can cause significant damage to irrigation systems through freezing, ground shifts, and component deterioration. A professional spring start-up identifies these issues before they become costly problems or waste water throughout the season.
Proper system activation involves more than just turning on the water. Each zone must be tested individually, controller settings verified, and components inspected for damage. This comprehensive approach ensures your system operates efficiently from the first watering.
What Happens During Start-Up
Licensed technicians systematically activate your irrigation system, beginning with the main water supply and backflow preventer. Each zone is tested individually to verify proper coverage, check for leaks, and ensure sprinkler heads are functioning correctly.
The controller is programmed or verified for optimal watering schedules based on your landscape's needs. Any damage from winter weather, such as broken heads, cracked pipes, or valve issues, is identified and can be repaired to prevent water waste and ensure complete coverage.
