Fall is here with cooler weather and shorter days of sunlight. Now is the time to winterize your lawn sprinkler system! Although your lawn and landscape need water to prepare for winter dormancy they receive enough from rainfall to be sufficient. Based upon our 40+ years of experience in winterizing sprinkler systems, I recommend you call now and schedule your appointment.
Winterizing your sprinkler system purges water from all the pipes, fittings, valves, and sprinkler heads preventing these parts from splitting due to water freezing. Frozen water expands as it freezes and is powerful enough to split almost anything that contains it. It is important to have this service performed before Thanksgiving. Weather is unpredictable and once the temperature drops below freezing it may become impossible to do so.
I recommend you call our office or email us to arrange an appointment, please call us at 631-423-2211 or email us at irrigationspecialist@rainrich.com.
You can assist us by turning your clock to the “off” position and by turning the shut off valve to the “off” position. To view shut off valves in the off position, please see our Rain Rich video that can help.
The shut off valve for the sprinkler system is marked with a tag and is usually in the basement near the water meter. Some homes may have their sprinkler connection at their meter pit and do not have to shut their sprinkler valve off as we can access it from outside. If you close your own valve, then we do not require access to the inside of your home and you do not have to be home to have this service completed. We do our best to make this process as simple as possible and keep the cost at a fair price. Please call or email us with any questions you may have.
Please note: we do our best to accommodate everyone and their schedule. However, due to the challenges of getting to your home, we respectfully ask that you be flexible and work with us so that we may perform this very important service and keep the costs reasonable. Any system winterized after Thanksgiving will incur an additional fee for service.
We wish everyone an enjoyable fall season.
