The joys of homeownership also come with lots of regular maintenance for properties. That includes both on the home and your lawn. With many new residents in Chattanooga purchasing houses, those with sprinkler systems need winterization. You may not be aware of this process if it’s your first home with irrigation. However, it’s critical to ensure that your system continues to operate effectively and reduce repairs come spring.
What Is Sprinkler System Winterization?
If you’ve never heard of sprinkler system winterization, allow us to provide you with this key information. The service of winterization includes blowout as well, which describes clearing all lines of water. Here’s a rundown of what Conserva Chattanooga offers in its package:

- Switching off the controller to the system.

In addition, our technicians can answer any questions about your irrigation system and its operation. The winterization service also includes a No Freeze Damage Guarantee™. That guarantee holds that no matter who installed your sprinklers, our team will winterize them to prevent freezing lines, which could cause damage. In addition, we’ll fix any broken pipes that occur after the service if you winterize before freezing temperatures, the backflow prevention device installation was correct, and all zones are working properly.
Why Winterize Your Sprinkler System?
The most important reason to winterize the system in your new home is to ensure that it comes out of the cold months ready to go. It’s the best preventative for broken lines. If water remains in the lines, it will expand when it freezes. That can cause cracks in the pipes, which could result in expensive repairs or the need for complete replacement.
Further, regular winterization in the fall extends the life of your system. With this thorough process, you’ll be confident that your sprinklers will continue to perform optimally, so you can enjoy a lush lawn when spring arrives. With regular maintenance by professionals, you’ll save significantly on your irrigation system over time.
