Sprinkler system care is an easy home maintenance task to overlook until something goes wrong. A leaking vacuum breaker, uneven sprinkler coverage, or a system that was not winterized properly can create bigger problems for your lawn, landscaping, and plumbing.
Brothers offers HCC members seasonal sprinkler add-ons for $16.95/month to simplify system start-up in spring and winterization in fall.
As a family operated, centrally dispatched company, Brothers is built around practical service, clear communication, and reliable care. Our team is here to be prompt, Reliable, and excellent while bringing the same values of Family, Care, and excellence to every home we visit.
What Are Sprinkler Add-Ons For HCC Members?
The sprinkler system add-ons are designed to help Home Care Club members stay ahead of seasonal sprinkler needs. These services focus on two major moments in the year: sprinkler start-up in the spring/early summer and sprinkler winterization before freezing temperatures arrive.
Homeowners interested in membership benefits may find additional information on the Brothers Home Care Club page. For questions regarding sprinkler systems, the comprehensive range of sprinkler services is also available for review.
These add-ons are meant to make sprinkler care simpler, more predictable, and easier to schedule. They also give homeowners a better understanding of their system’s condition.
Why Seasonal Sprinkler Care Matters
A sprinkler system may look simple from the outside, but it depends on valves, vacuum breakers, wiring, zones, heads, drain ports, and water pressure, all working together. When one part is off, you may see dry patches, soggy spots, leaks, or zones that do not run correctly.
Seasonal sprinkler care helps catch small issues early. It also helps ensure your system is used properly at the right time of year.
- Spring start-up helps prepare the system for regular watering.
- Head adjustments can improve water coverage across the yard.
- Zone cycling helps confirm that the clock and controls are working.
- Winterization helps remove water before freezing temperatures arrive.
- Valve tags help prevent accidental use before spring start-up.
- Technician walkthroughs give homeowners a chance to ask questions.
Sprinkler Start-Up For Home Care Club Members
The spring sprinkler start-up helps get your system ready for the season. During this visit, Brothers checks the main visible components, cycles the zones, looks for leaks, and adjusts sprinkler heads as needed.
Further details about this seasonal service are available on the sprinkler start-up page. This service provides many homeowners with confidence that their system is properly prepared for use.
Note: repairs are not included in the start-up service. If needed, repairs are quoted separately, and Home Care Club members may receive a 10% discount on eligible repairs.

Sprinkler Winterization For Home Care Club Members
Sprinkler winterization prepares the system for cold weather by blowing out and draining water from the lines. This helps reduce the chance of trapped water freezing inside the system.
For Colorado homeowners, this is an important seasonal consideration. Additional service information can be found on the sprinkler winterization page.
During the visit, Brothers technicians also installed valve tags to help prevent the system from being used before it is turned back on in the spring. This simple step can help protect the system from accidental operation during the wrong season.

- Turn off the water to the sprinkler system.
- Introduce air into the system through the existing vacuum breaker.

- Open the drain port on the shut-off valve.
- Inform the client to check the drain port for leaks.
