As the days grow shorter and the chill of autumn sets in, it’s time to start planning for the winterization of your outdoor water sources. While it might seem early, scheduling these services for items like pools or irrigation equipment requires careful consideration due to the limited window of favorable weather. Being proactive in your preparations will pay off in the long run.
For those who have been using hoses for manual watering throughout the year, it’s essential to drain any water left in the hoses and store them indoors or in a dry place for the winter. Additionally, make sure to clear any water from outdoor taps remote to your house. This involves turning off the outside water supply and ensuring all excess water is removed. Following these steps will help prevent potential damage caused by frozen water, which could lead to leaks and the need for pipe or hose repairs in the spring.
If you have an automatic irrigation system on your property, professional winterization is crucial. This ensures that no water remains in the underground components of the system, minimizing the risk of damage during winter freezes. A certified technician will use a high CFM compressed air system to remove water from every line and inspect the entire system to ensure it’s in proper working order. Any necessary maintenance can be addressed to prepare for the spring reopening.
