Winter Is Coming
When winter comes, you have a few more things to take care of in your home. Your home lawn sprinkler system has to be on top of your list. Make sure you are properly caring for and maintaining your sprinkler system. Improper sprinkler upkeep can actually lead to damage that will lead to costly repairs. Skip all that by getting the help of professionals. Here’s how to take care of your sprinkler system come winter. Keep reading!
Check the Water Pressure
First, make sure the proper water pressure is going to the heads. Check the pressure on each head. Then, check the area near each head. If you see a pool of water, that’s a sign that there is too little water pressure. You would be wise to call your landscaper for service if you see this or if your sprinkler system is not working properly, as other problems could be causing the low pressure.
Turn off the Water
Second, turn off the water to the heads. You can do this easily by using the quick-connects. When winter arrives, you need to remember to check the quick connectors. If they are too tight, the water in them will freeze, causing an overpressure. This will damage the sprinkler system, so check it before winter arrives.
Check the Sprinkler Heads
Third, check your heads to see if they need to be replaced. Make sure to check your heads before winter starts. If you see damage, replace the heads right away. This is because you would need to replace the entire sprinkler system if you aren’t careful when you are winterizing your home.
