Importance Of Seasonal Sprinkler Care

Sprinkler systems are designed to last, but they need care at the start and end of each season. Winters in Central Indiana and Ohio can push frost deep into the ground. If water stays in your pipes during a hard freeze, it can crack fittings, split lines, and damage spray heads.

Seasonal sprinkler care delivers real benefits that go beyond basic protection:

Catches hidden leaks and component damage early
Prevents freeze-related cracks and pipe breaks
Optimizes water coverage throughout the season

Reduces the risk of unexpected failures
Extends the working lifespan of your entire system

Spring Start-Up Service Overview

Restarting your lawn sprinkler system after winter involves more than just turning the water back on. Our team inspects each zone, checks the backflow preventer, tests the system pressure, and looks for any damaged or misaligned heads.

We also check your controller schedule during every start-up. Lawns need less water in early spring than in summer. Setting your timer correctly from the beginning helps your lawn get the right amount of water when it needs it.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plan to schedule your lawn sprinkler system start-up in late March or April. Wait until the threat of hard frost has passed. Booking early gives you more flexibility before the spring rush fills our calendar.

When water freezes inside irrigation lines, it expands and can crack pipes, fittings, and valves. If you skip fall service, your whole system could suffer serious freeze damage over the winter. Proper winterization each year is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your sprinkler system.

Our irrigation specialists use a high-volume air compressor to blow out each zone of your system. This process removes water from every pipe and low spot before it can freeze. We finish by closing the main shutoff and setting your controller to off-season mode.
