FAQs
What is sprinkler winterization?
Sprinkler winterization is the process of removing water from your sprinkler system’s pipes, valves, and heads to prevent freezing and damage during Colorado’s cold winters.
Why do I need to winterize my sprinkler system in Denver?
Without winterization, leftover water in the system can freeze, causing pipes to crack, valves to burst, and costly repairs come spring.
When should I schedule sprinkler winterization?
It’s best to schedule between October and mid-November—before the first hard freeze.
Can I winterize my sprinklers myself?
While DIY methods exist, improper winterization can leave water trapped in the system. Our professionals use proper techniques to ensure your lines are completely cleared.
What happens if I don’t winterize my sprinkler system?
If your system isn’t winterized, freezing water can expand inside pipes, leading to leaks, burst pipes, or complete system failure.
Are sprinkler pipes deep enough to avoid freezing?
Most pipes are not buried 24″ or deeper, meaning they are still at risk of freezing in Denver’s cold climate.
How do you protect above-ground sprinkler pipes?
We recommend insulating exposed pipes or covering them temporarily, but professional winterization is the only long-term solution.
What if it already froze before I winterized?
If your system has already frozen, call us immediately. Our technicians can assess for damage, thaw lines safely, and repair any broken parts.
