The best time to have a sprinkler system winterized is before the first hard freeze, typically in late fall, to prevent water from freezing inside pipes.
Failure to properly winterize can lead to burst pipes, damaged valves, and costly repairs in the spring.
Professional winterization ensures thorough removal of water from the system and reduces the risk of damage, unlike do-it-yourself methods which may miss hidden areas.
The process involves draining or blowing out water from pipes, inspecting components, and insulating vulnerable parts to prevent freezing.
