Service Visits. Here’s what we do:

Spring Start up

Standard with Gold and Silver Maintenance Packages

  1. 1

    Introduce water into your system at a controlled rate to avoid damage from water hammer.

  2. 2

    Inspect all operations of your automatic controller.

  3. 3

    Program zone times for efficient use of water.

  4. 4

    Replace dead back-up batteries with new alkaline batteries so that a power failure won't wipe out your programming

  5. 5

    Inspect your zone control valves for winter damage and leaks.

  6. 6

    Inspect all your sprinkler heads, checking for leaks, plugged nozzles and slow rotation that would impede the proper distribution of water. We check for frost heave that may allow a lawn mower to destroy the head.

  7. 7

    Inspect the operation of your rain sensor to ensure your system will not water unnecessarily.

  8. 8

    Perform minor repairs immediately, whenever possible, and flag any repairs for which we must return.

    Provide you with a detailed checklist of all work performed.

    Reprogram your controller for the current seasonal conditions based on historical weather data.

Winterization

Standard with Gold and Silver Maintenance Packages, or available as a single service

  1. 1

    Use a high-capacity air compressor with the volume and pressure required to reach the farthest sprinkler head on any zone.

  2. 2

    Take care to prevent any sudden burst of air from causing your fittings or sprinklers to separate.

  3. 3

    Ensure that the air speed is great enough to blow out the water, but not enough to cause thermal damage to your pipes.

    Note any deficiencies so that they can be repaired in the spring.
