WINTERIZING YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN OREM, UTAH

Winterizing of Irrigation SystemsIt is important to blow out before the first freeze in areas where the frost goes below the depth of irrigation systems piping. After using the irrigation system and the sprinklers, excess water remains in the pipes even after use. During winter, that excess water can freeze and cause damage to the irrigation system. The valves, fittings, lines, and sprinkler heads can crack and burst. When you hear of the term winterizing, it is the process of blowing out excess water. We are the best in Orem, Utah, that can blow out your irrigation systems and prevent damage.
Reasons for winterizingWinterizing protects pipes from cracking and bursting.When the water builds up and freezes in the cold weather, it expands and can burst the pipes. It is costly to repair and replace the irrigation system and to challenge it because the entire system is installed underground. Digging out the old lines and installing new ones due to cracks caused by freezing excess water can be avoided if you contact us and we offer you our services. We ensure to prevent the damages by removing the excess water.
Avoid costly repairs to the manifold.The sprinkler system heart is the manifold. It is the system that regulates water flow to the rest of the sprinklers from the main irrigation line. The manifold contains a lot of valves that connect to the manifold, and if the water freezes, it can damage them. We are professionals who will ensure that the complex network of the irrigation system is not affected by the cold weather in Orem, Utah. We guarantee that there is no damage and the entire manifold and the surrounding design are safe during the cold weather.
Frozen water damages sprinkler headsThe sprinkler heads too retain excess water after use. The sprinkler heads can pop off from pressure due to the freezing of the trapped water. The main body of the sprinklers retains water, and it can burst if the water freezes inside. The sprinkler heads pop up during use, and if water freezes inside, it can upset the mechanism and affect how it regulates popping up. The sprinkler heads remain permanently under the ground and cannot pop up when needed. This requires removing, repairing, or replacing the system.
Types of winterizingThere are two types with which we can winterize your irrigation systems. The first method is automatic winterizing, and the other is manually winterizing. 
Manual drain methodWe use the manual drain method if manual valves are located at the low points and the end of the piping. To drain, we shut off the water from the supply and open all the drain valves.
Automatic draining methodThe automatic drain valves are located at the end and low points of the irrigation piping. It depends on the pressure in the piping, and if it is less than 10 PSI, the valves open automatically and allow water to flow out of the irrigation system. 
Our services are the best, and we will save you the cost of expensive repairs and replacement of irrigation systems caused by the freezing of water in the piping, valves, and sprinkler bodies and heads.
