Protect Your Sprinkler System This Winter with Wilcox Bros.

As the winter months draw near, it’s easy to forget about your sprinkler system until it’s too late. At Wilcox Bros. Lawn Sprinklers and Landscape Lighting, we know how important it is to keep your irrigation system in top condition year-round. That’s why we offer a sprinkler winterization service that gives you peace of mind, knowing your system is safe from freezing temperatures and costly repairs.

What is Sprinkler Winterization, and Why Do You Need It?

Sprinkler winterization is a preventative service that clears water from your irrigation pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads before the first freeze of the season. Without it, the water left inside your system can freeze, expand, and cause cracks or bursts in the pipes. In short, winterization saves you from unexpected repairs and ensures your lawn care investment lasts for years to come.

How Can You Tell If Your Sprinkler System Needs Winterization?

If you live in an area where temperatures drop below freezing, you definitely need to winterize your sprinkler system. A good rule of thumb is to schedule the service before your local temperatures consistently hit freezing at night, usually in late fall. If you’re unsure, it’s better to err on the side of caution and get it done early.

Here are some signs that it’s time to winterize:

• Cooler Weather: If the nights are starting to feel colder and frost is appearing, your sprinkler system is at risk.
• You Use an Irrigation System Regularly: If your system waters your lawn throughout the spring and summer, there’s likely water sitting in the pipes that could freeze.
• You’re Concerned About Potential Damage: Even if you think your system might be fine, scheduling a quick inspection can save you from bigger headaches later.

What to Expect During Our Winterization Service

We believe in making things simple and stress-free for our clients. Here’s what happens when you book a winterization service with Wilcox Bros.:

• Shutting Off the Water: First, we’ll turn off the water supply to your sprinkler system to prevent any new water from flowing into the pipes during winter.
• Blowing Out the Water: We use specialized air compressors to safely remove every last drop of water from your system’s pipes, sprinkler heads, and valves. This method, known as the blowout, is crucial for protecting your system from freeze damage.
• Backflow Prevention Care: Our technicians will make sure that your backflow prevention devices are properly protected and shut down, helping to avoid any contamination or malfunctions when you turn the system back on in the spring.
• Final Checks: Once the system is dry, we’ll give everything a final inspection to make sure your system is ready for the cold months ahead.
