Complete Spring Start-Up Services
Our lawn sprinkler system start-up service covers everything from the main water supply to the final head in each zone. We pressurize the system and test each zone for proper activation and shut-off. Each head is checked for alignment and coverage, and any components damaged over winter are addressed before regular watering begins.
We also inspect and certify your backflow prevention device. This keeps your household water supply safe and meets the requirements of many local water authorities. At the end of each start-up, our team reviews your controller settings.
Winterization And System Protection
Late fall is the critical window to winterize your sprinkler system before freezing temperatures arrive for good. Central Indiana and Ohio regularly experience hard frosts that can freeze any remaining water in irrigation lines.
The components most at risk are backflow preventers, underground pipes, zone valves, and spray heads. A professional winterization removes all water from the system before it can freeze and expand.
Watch for these signals that it is time to book your winterization:
- Overnight temperatures are dropping close to freezing
- Regular irrigation has ended for the season
- Lawn mowing and active landscaping have slowed
- You have noticed changes in system pressure or coverage
Sprinkler Blowout and Winterization Services
The best way to winterize a sprinkler system is with a compressed-air blowout. Our team uses a high-volume compressor to clear each zone one at a time. This pushes water out of every part of the pipe.
After the blowout, we shut off the main water supply and secure your controller for the off-season. When you choose Custom Touch Irrigation to winterize your sprinkler system, we complete each step with care.
