As the vibrant colors of autumn give way to the crisp chill of winter, the health and longevity of your home’s lawn sprinkler system depend on one critical step: professional winterization. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where temperatures regularly drop below freezing, any water left in your irrigation lines can expand, causing pipes to crack, valves to burst, and sprinkler heads to break. This freeze damage can lead to incredibly costly and time-consuming repairs come springtime. At New Jersey Irrigation Services, we offer a comprehensive sprinkler winterizing service designed to protect your investment and ensure your system is ready to go when the warmer weather returns.
Our team of certified irrigation specialists understands the specific needs of residential properties throughout Mercer County, Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Burlington County, and Ocean County in New Jersey, as well as Bucks County, Pennsylvania. We use a proven, reliable process to prepare your system for the cold, giving you total peace of mind throughout the harsh winter months.
Simply turning off your system isn’t enough. Water will remain in the lines, even after the valves are shut. The most effective method for winterization is the “blow-out” procedure, which uses a powerful air compressor to force every last drop of water out of the pipes, heads, and valves. This is a task that requires specialized equipment and expertise. Attempting this with a small home air compressor can be ineffective and even dangerous, as incorrect pressure can damage the system.
Our professional winterizing service includes:
Neglecting to properly winterize your system can result in a host of expensive problems. When water freezes, it expands by approximately 9%, a force strong enough to rupture even the most durable pipes. A single night of hard frost is all it takes to cause damage that won’t be evident until you try to turn on your system in the spring. Common problems include:
These are the most frequent victims of freeze damage, often requiring excavation and replacement.
Water trapped in heads or manifold components can crack the plastic, leading to system failure and poor coverage.
This device is particularly vulnerable and expensive to replace, with repair costs often running into hundreds of dollars.
By investing a small amount in a professional winterization service, you can avoid these costly headaches and ensure a smooth start to the next irrigation season.
