With winter behind us and spring feeling more like summer, it’s the right time to look at your sprinkler system. Here at Greg’s Irrigation, Inc., located in Leominster, MA, we know that the most important part of a green healthy lawn is proper watering, which is why conducting your annual spring sprinkler start-up is crucial to the well-being of both your lawn and irrigation system.
A lot of time has passed since your sprinkler system was last used, and there have been intense New England winter conditions. Both time and weather are significant factors that could affect the performance of your system, and while temperatures are mostly mild right now, the hot weather is just around the corner. When scheduling your spring sprinkler start-up, it’s best to do so during the spring or early summer.
Our team at Greg’s Irrigation, Inc. understands that conducting a spring sprinkler start-up can be a confusing and frustrating endeavor, and so we typically recommend a professional visit. During this process, a team member will do the following:
- Inspect your complete system for proper operation
- Activate all valves to ensure each zone is operational
- Inspect backflow preventer for leaks or damaged parts
- check each head for damage or worn parts
- Properly program controller for the correct watering needs of your yard
- Answer any questions you may have
If any defect, damage, or concern is found during your spring sprinkler start-up, our team member will repair or suggest improvements that it needs to work properly and efficiently. Since sprinkler systems endure harsh New England winters, this defect could be a damaged line or sprinkler head. While keeping your lawn properly irrigated, we also want to ensure that your system is working efficiently and is conserving water, protecting you from unnecessary usage.
At Greg’s Irrigation, Inc., we treat every customer’s home like it’s our own home. Your concerns and needs are important to us. If you have an irrigation system that has yet to undergo its annual spring sprinkler start-up, please take the time to contact our team today.
