Our Winterization Service Protects Your Irrigation System From the Freezing Cold

At ETCH Outdoor Living, we offer our irrigation winterization service in October so we can get ahead of the winter season in our area. Winterizing your irrigation system will protect it from the freezing winter in Iowa. Our winterization process involves shutting off the water supply and blowing all of the water out of your waterline, pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads. This was, water won't be able to freeze in these areas, where they can cause damage, including bursting your pipes.


We can safely restart your irrigation system with our startup service.

Once spring rolls back around, it will be time to restart your irrigation system so that it will be ready to hydrate your lawn once again. However, this needs to be done carefully because you could cause significant damage to your irrigation system if this process is not done correctly. At ETCH Outdoor Living, we have licensed technicians who can safely reopen your irrigation system. While they are performing the startup, they will also check for any signs of damage, if they notice something, they will be able to repair it before it turns into a more costly issue.

Our irrigation startup service also includes backflow testing to make sure the backflow prevention device is working perfectly. The backflow prevention device prevents contaminated water from your yard from backing up to your water supply at home. When this device fails, chemicals, fertilizers, and other polluted water can get into the source of your clean water.

We offer our irrigation startups in April and May because this is the ideal time to open up your irrigation system.
