Irrigation Winterization
Water left sitting in sprinkler lines freezes, expands, and splits the pipes and heads underground. Winterizing blows the water out with air before the first hard frost, so you are not digging up cracked lines in the spring. We clear each zone and shut the system down for the season.

What Winterizing Prevents
A short visit in the fall saves a buried, expensive mess in the spring.
Split underground lines
Water that freezes in the pipes expands and cracks them where you cannot see.
Broken heads
Frozen water inside the heads splits the bodies, so they spray sideways come spring.
A cracked backflow
The backflow assembly above ground is easy to freeze and costly to replace.
A surprise spring repair
Damage you only find when you start the system back up and water goes everywhere.
Clear the Water, Close It Down
We shut off the water to the irrigation system and connect air to blow the lines out. Working zone by zone, we push the water out at a safe pressure until each line and head runs dry, so nothing is left sitting to freeze.
We protect the backflow and above-ground parts, set the timer to its off mode for winter, and let you know if anything looked worn while we had it running. You head into the cold months knowing the system is clear.

Winterization FAQs
On the North Shore, yes. Water left in the lines can freeze and split the pipes and heads underground, and that repair is far more than a fall visit.
In the fall, before the first hard frost. Booking ahead gets you a date while the weather still allows it.
Draining helps, but it rarely clears every low spot. Blowing the lines out with air gets the water that draining leaves behind.
We protect the backflow and above-ground parts as part of the visit, since those freeze easily.
Yes. We cover North Vancouver, West Vancouver, the North Shore, and nearby parts of Greater Vancouver.
