Winterize Your Irrigation System to Protect It This Winter

Why is Winterization Essential, Even in Warmer Climates?

Although you may live in a warmer climate like Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina, don’t be fooled by the typically mild winters. Even with just a few freezing days each winter, the water left in your sprinkler system can freeze, expand, and cause costly damage. Pipes can crack, backflow devices can burst, and your irrigation system can face serious issues come spring.
Winterization is the simple, effective way to protect your system from unexpected cold snaps.

What Happens if You Don’t Winterize?

When temperatures drop below freezing, any water trapped in your irrigation lines can freeze, expand, and cause breaks or cracks. This damage may not become apparent until spring when you turn your system on again and discover leaks, broken heads, or damaged backflow preventers—all leading to costly repairs that could have been avoided with proper winterization.

What Does Winterization Include?

At Pacific Lawn Sprinklers, we provide a professional winterization service designed to protect your system. Here’s what we’ll do during your winterization:

Shut down the main water supply to prevent water from flowing into your system during the winter.
Use compressed air to blow out the irrigation lines and ensure no water remains inside the pipes, backflow, or manifold.
Cover your backflow device with insulation for added protection (optional).
Install a freeze sensor to prevent your system from running during freezing temperatures (optional).
Inspect all valves and zones to relieve any pressure and drain excess water.
Check and drain drip irrigation zones to ensure no damage occurs to delicate lines and filters.
