Our Irrigation Winterization Process

When you reach out to us to schedule our irrigation winterization service, you can rest easy knowing that your irrigation system will be safely shut down for the winter. That's because we follow a meticulous process that involves:

  • Turning off the main water supply - We will turn off the main water supply to your irrigation system so that water doesn't continue to run into your irrigation lines.
  • Shutting down the controller - We will shut off the controller to your irrigation system so that your system doesn't keep trying to turn on.
  • Blowing all of the water out of the lines - We will use a large air compressor to blow all of the water out of your irrigation lines so that there will be no water left in them. This is a crucial step because if water is left in your lines, it can freeze and cause serious damage to your system.

We offer our irrigation winterization service in October.

At ETCH Outdoor Living, we offer our irrigation winterization service in October because we want to make sure that we get ahead of the first freeze of the year. You want to make sure you schedule this service early because if your system hasn't been shut down before the first freeze occurs, your system could end up being damaged. By scheduling our service in October, you can rest easy knowing that your system is safely shut down and will be ready to endure the freezing winter season.
