Smart Irrigation: Technologies that Use Water Efficiently

Protect Your Investment You can protect your irrigation system by making sure to have it professionally winterized before the cold weather arrives. Professional winterization includes flushing the pipes and sprinkler heads with high volume compressed air. Not all irrigation companies in the Raleigh area take this important step to prevent unnecessary damage to your system, but we at Doctor Sprinkler include this manufacturer-recommended step in our winterization service. Cracks And Leaks You might be thinking “It doesn’t get cold enough in Raleigh to freeze the pipes underground!” If the pipes were installed deep enough, that is likely true. However, the above ground components are very much at risk. As we all know, water expands when it turns to ice, so any water that is left in the tops of the sprinkler heads, drip zones, shallow pipes, or the backflow preventer can freeze and cause these parts to develop cracks and leaks. The result is that when you start up your system in the spring, you have an unnecessary mess on your hands. We see this damage every spring when we are called on to repair freeze damage to improperly winterized systems throughout Raleigh, Cary, and Wake Forest. The added expense of repairs, decreased life of the system components, wasted water, and increased water bills every month from these new leaks make professional irrigation winterization service from Doctor Sprinkler cheap insurance. Act Now! Prevent Future Damage Avoid problems in the spring by having your irrigation system thoroughly winterized by Doctor Sprinkler. This will help prevent unnecessary damage to your system from winter weather and help extend the life of your irrigation system overall.
