With winter fast approaching, it's crucial to make time to prepare your sprinkler system for the freezing temperatures. With assistance from the landscaping team at Buzz Landscaping in Conway, AR, you can guarantee all components of your irrigation system are protected from the harsh winter elements.
Here, Buzz Landscaping shares three ways to winterize your sprinkler system:
- Drain The Hoses: One of the most important steps in winterizing your irrigation system is to ensure no water is trapped inside of it. To prevent costly repairs, a plumbing professional can drain your pipes and hoses so they won't burst open as sitting water expands into ice.
- Cap The Heads: Don't leave your sprinkler heads exposed to cold temperatures this holiday season. Not only can snow and ice crack your sprinklers and lead to major damage—they can also warrant the need for repairs or replacement in the springtime.
- Prep The Spigot: If your sprinkler system is connected to an outdoor water spigot, you'll need to winterize this component as well. The skilled professionals at Buzz Landscaping will disconnect all of your system’s components and use a high-quality insulated cover to prevent your spigot from breaking in the cold. Once these measures are taken, you can rest assured water waste and interior plumbing nightmares won’t stand a chance.
Let Buzz Landscaping help you prepare your sprinkler system for winter or install an irrigation system in time for a lush lawn in the spring. To learn more about their respected services, call (501) 730-4515 or visit the website.
