Winterization

Irrigation winterization is the process of preparing your irrigation system for cold weather by draining all water from the pipes, sprinklers, and valves to prevent freezing. It’s important because any remaining water can expand as it freezes, causing pipes or components to crack or burst. Yard Patrol Pros can properly winterize your system to avoid costly damage and ensure it’s ready for the next season.

It's best to schedule your irrigation system winterization before the first hard freeze of the season, typically in late fall. Yard Patrol Pros recommends having your system winterized at least a few weeks before the first freeze to ensure all components are properly drained and protected.

If you don’t winterize your irrigation system, any remaining water in the pipes can freeze and expand, potentially causing cracks or ruptures in the pipes, sprinkler heads, and valves. This can lead to expensive repairs come springtime. Yard Patrol Pros can help by performing winterization, protecting your system from cold weather damage and extending its lifespan.
