Charlotte Irrigation Winterization Avoids Costly Damage

As the weather cools, it is important to prepare your irrigation system for the onset of freezing temperatures. In Charlotte, the temperature typically drops down to around 40 degrees in November and around 30 degrees in December. This means that it is vital for you to winterize your irrigation system before December's freezing conditions arrive.

Charlotte's leading irrigation installation, service, and repair company, Irrigation & Lighting Specialist, urges Charlotte homeowners to call now to schedule their irrigation system winterization.

"It's important that you call as soon as possible to schedule your annual winterization shut-down," says John Minor of Irrigation & Lighting Specialist. "We begin winterizing systems in mid-November and appointments fill up fast. It's important that you schedule your shut-down as early as possible to safeguard from the cold."

Charlotte Irrigation Winterization Protects System

In addition to helping prevent costly repairs, winterization also helps ensure that your irrigation system will function optimally when you start it back up in the Spring.

Irrigation & Lighting Specialist helps Charlotte homeowners prevent significant damage to their irrigation systems by providing professional winterization services. First, they shut down the system and ensure that any automatic timers are turned off. Next, they use a commercial, high volume air compressor to push air through the lines at low pressure. This ensures that all irrigation lines and parts are free of water, as any water left in the system can freeze and cause the pipes or parts to crack and split.
