As temperatures drop, any water left inside your sprinkler system can freeze, expand, and crack pipes or valves. Many homeowners don’t realize the damage until spring—when leaks, broken heads, or full system failure appear. Sprinkler winterization is a preventative service that protects your irrigation system before cold weather arrives.
