Is Sprinkler Winterization in Draper Necessary?
If you live in a climate with a cold winter season, preparing and winterizing your sprinklers is essential to prevent irreparable damage. Water is normal to find trapped in your sprinkler system, even in the sprinkler heads. When that water freezes, however, it expands. This causes sprinkler heads to break — even pop off completely.
To prevent a complete sprinkler repair or replacement every year, winterize your sprinklers before the temperatures dive into a freezing range (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
There are a few methods to winterize sprinklers, but it’s wise to have professional service take care of it for you. This ensures your entire system is adequately protected, and with the method best suited for your home.
At What Temperature Should You Winterize Sprinklers?
One way sprinklers risk breaking is when the water in them freezes and expands, causing the pipes, valves and even sprinkler heads to crack or pop. It is dangerous to let your sprinkler system go unprepared in freezing temperatures — 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
If you live in a wintery climate, the best time to start thinking about winterizing your sprinkler system is when temperatures hover around 40 degrees. Waiting until the first real freeze is risky because it only takes one freeze to cause expensive damage.
Waiting for temperatures to reach about 40 degrees is also a smart move for your grass. Watering grass when it starts to get cold can freeze the ground or roots, damaging the roots or cells of your lawn.
