Sprinkler System Start-Up & Winterization Services
Protect your irrigation system, prevent costly damage, and ensure reliable performance season after season.
Professional seasonal service for residential and commercial irrigation systems.
Spring Start-Up Service
Get your system running correctly after winter — avoid early-season leaks and coverage problems.
What's Included:
- Gradual system pressurization (prevents pipe damage)
- Inspection of pipes, valves, and fittings
- Sprinkler head alignment and height adjustment
- Zone-by-zone testing and calibration
- Controller programming & schedule setup
- Identification of winter damage or leaks
Why This Matters: A proper start-up prevents leaks, uneven watering, and early-season failures that cost far more to repair later.
Fall Winterization & Blow-Out Service
Protect your system from freeze damage with professional compressed-air winterization.
What's Included:
- Professional compressed-air blow-out
- Complete removal of water from lines, valves, and heads
- Controller shutdown & preparation
- Backflow preventer drainage
- Protection against freeze cracks and pipe bursts
Skipping winterization is one of the most common causes of expensive spring repairs. Frozen water expands and cracks pipes, valves, and backflow preventers.
Why Seasonal Maintenance Is So Important
- Prevents underground pipe damage from freeze/thaw cycles
- Extends the life of your system by years
- Reduces water waste and costly mid-season repairs
- Ensures even coverage throughout the growing season
- Saves money long-term compared to emergency repairs
Most major irrigation failures start with skipped seasonal service.
Who Should Schedule Seasonal Service?
- Homeowners with in-ground sprinkler systems
- Properties with freezing winter temperatures
- HOA and commercial properties
- Anyone who wants fewer repairs and longer system life
Seasonal Irrigation Service FAQ

Winterization should be completed before the first hard freeze, typically in late fall. Even in Florida, cold snaps can cause freeze damage if water remains in the system.
Frozen water expands and can crack pipes, valves, backflow preventers, and sprinkler heads. Repairs often cost hundreds or thousands of dollars — far more than winterization service.
