We offer irrigation winterization in Cary, NC, and nearby areas like Chapel Hill and Raleigh.
Your irrigation system will be winterized before the freezing temperatures arrive.
Before the freezing temperatures set in on your area, it's important to have your irrigation system shut down to protect it from any winter damage. Here at Greenway Irrigation, we offer an irrigation winterization service to residential properties in Cary, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding areas in North Carolina. This service is performed before the freezing temperatures arrive, generally in November. When we visit your property, our team will follow a structured process that ensures there is no water left inside the system and that it is properly closed off for the winter. We also offer an irrigation startup service that you can take advantage of in the spring so we can reactivate your system for the new growing season. Call us today at (919) 217-4340 to enroll!
When do we perform our irrigation winterization service?
Our team typically performs our irrigation winterization service in November, before the freezing temperatures arrive. This way, there is no water left inside the pipes that could freeze and cause damage to your irrigation system. We highly recommend that you schedule your irrigation winterization service early on so we can book you a spot on our calendar before they run out!
What does our irrigation winterization process look like?
When you sign up for our irrigation winterization service, we follow a thorough process that ensures your irrigation system is properly deactivated for the winter. Here are the steps that our professionals follow when we winterize your system:
- We will turn off the water supply to your irrigation system. This involves closing off the main valve to prevent any water from entering the system. Stopping the flow of water will allow us to efficiently remove all the water from the system and ensure no more will enter over the winter season.
- Remove water from the system. This will ensure there is no water inside the pipes and other parts of the system that could freeze, expand, and burst the components.
- Disconnect the backflow. If your irrigation system's backflow prevention device is above ground, we will disconnect it to close it off for the winter. If it is located underground, we'll make sure it is properly drained of water.
Reactivate Your System in the Spring by Signing up for Our Irrigation Startup Service
After the winter season, it's time to get your irrigation system running so it can deliver water to your lawn and plants as they grow actively again. That's what our irrigation startup service is for. This service involves reconnecting the backflow valve so no contaminated water will enter your home's water supply once we start repressurizing the irrigation system. We'll run and check all irrigation zones to ensure each one is working properly and delivering the right amount of water for your lawn and plants.
Our irrigation startup process also includes adjusting the sprinkler heads to ensure your yard receives even watering. The controller will also be programmed so the watering schedule is appropriate for the spring season.
