Winterizing Your Sprinkler System in Columbus, Indiana
As the temperatures start to drop in Columbus, it's time to prepare your home for winter. One task that's often forgotten is winterizing your sprinkler system.
If your irrigation system isn't properly shut down for the season, water left in the lines can freeze and expand. The result? Cracked pipes, broken valves, and costly damage. A quick professional winterization now can save you from major headaches and repair bills in the spring.
When Should You Winterize?
In Indiana, it's best to winterize before the first hard freeze. At Lohmeyer Plumbing, we typically start winterizations mid-October and wrap up around the first week of November. Spots fill quickly as colder weather sets in.
What's Involved in Winterizing?
We use a compressor to remove all the water from your sprinkler lines and components, so nothing is left behind to freeze.
