A Friendly Reminder: Winterize Your Sprinkler System Before the Freeze!

The weather in Michigan the past few weeks has been amazing!  Clear skies, cool in the morning and evening while arming up during the day.  These conditions will change soon. As the temperatures continue to drop now is the time to prepare your sprinkler system for winter. If you wait until the first freeze it could be too late!

Water left inside your sprinkler lines, valves and backflow preventer can freeze, expand, and cause costly damage to your  sprinkler system.  Taking the time to winterize your system now can help prevent expensive repairs and assure your sprinklers are ready to use in the spring.

Why Winterize:

Prevent frozen pipes.

Avoid Costly Repairs.

Protect Your Investment.

Michigan winters can arrive quickly.  Fall is the best time to act. 

Stay ahead of the freeze and protect your sprinkler system!
