Sprinkler System Start Up

Thawed ground and rising temperatures mark the time for a sprinkler system start up, and we handle every step of it. Winter damage is the first thing TradeWind Irrigation looks for at Bristol, CT, homes each spring. Cracked pipes, leaks, and broken heads get caught before the busy summer watering season. Realigning heads and adjusting coverage to the season come next. Sensors, timers, and controllers also get checked and reset for the months ahead. Hours of classroom and hands-on training, 2,000 in total, come before any of our technicians earns a state license. Soil moisture, plant growth, and the weather shape the watering schedule we set during each sprinkler system start up.

Which Checks Come with a Sprinkler System Start Up?

Part-by-part checks, zone tests, and a fresh watering plan form each sprinkler system start up we handle. Items on our list include:

  • Running every zone to see that each head turns on and sprays where it should.
  • Checking pipes and valves for leaks or cracks left by winter freeze.
  • Tuning the controller and sensors so the schedule matches spring conditions.

What Goes Wrong When a System Skips Its Spring Check?

Damage from the cold often stays out of sight until the sprinkler system start up, when water pressure reaches every weak spot. Thorough sprinkler winterization in the fall means fewer surprises when the water comes back on. Late spring rain also lowers the risk of overwatering, so we keep that in mind when setting the first schedule. Leftover water in the lines causes many of these spring repairs, and a fall irrigation blowout near you clears it out. Surprise frosts after opening can still harm the 825Y and 765 backflow preventers, and our freeze prevention videos show how to shut each one off and drain it. Later visits from our lawn irrigation company cover midseason check-ups and backflow testing.

Open Your System the Right Way This Spring

Reserving your sprinkler system start up now gives us time to fix any winter damage before the lawn needs regular watering. Lawns we open each spring get the benefit of more than three decades on the job. Any repair spotted during the check lets you get a quote first, free of charge. Flagging the zones that gave trouble last fall helps us plan the visit. Once the ground thaws, arrange a start up consultation by phone or through the contact form to open your system the right way.
