Irrigation and Sprinkler System Service

Many people wonder, "Why can’t I turn on the irrigation system myself? It should only require the switching on of a valve and plugging in the clock, right?" We hear that a lot, but our system start up process is essential to your system operating properly.

Here's why:

The harsh winter in the Northeast can cause many problems with your system. Our technicians are trained to perform a procedure of thorough system checks to look for signs of damage and potential problems. Our technicians will check that all heads, valves and pipe are in proper working order including spray direction, clogs and damage. Your timers are set for proper watering sequences and time according to where they are and what they are watering. Our technicians also take into consideration your topography, system capabilities, water flow or gallons per minute, system pressure and numerous other system checks. A homeowner or inexperienced irrigation company does not have the experience or capabilities to ensure your system is running its best.

Additionally, in the fall your system should be blown out or “closed” by a professional and experienced company. The closing is a critical time to be ensure your lines are blown out completely and thoroughly to avoid winter ice breaks and seizing of your pipes and connections. Applying too much pressure with an improperly calibrated air compressor during this process can also cause damage to your sprinkler system. Not enough pressure and your system will not be winterized properly.
