Protect your irrigation system from freezing temperatures and costly damage with professional winterization from Tatum Lawn Care. Our team ensures your system is fully shut down, cleared, and safeguarded for the winter season, giving you peace of mind and preventing expensive spring repairs.

Why Irrigation Winterization Matters

Central Washington winters can be harsh, and even a small amount of water left in your irrigation lines can freeze and expand—causing pipes to burst, valves to crack, and sprinkler heads to fail. Proper winterization prevents these issues by removing all remaining water and securing system components against freezing temperatures.

Skipping this essential service can lead to leaks, uneven water pressure, and major repairs when spring arrives. Winterizing your system early ensures long-term performance, lower maintenance costs, and a smooth start-up next season.

Our Comprehensive Winterization Process

At Tatum Lawn Care, we use industry-approved techniques and equipment to ensure your irrigation system is fully protected. Our winterization process includes:

1. System Shutoff & Safety Check

We begin by turning off the main irrigation water supply and evaluating key components such as valves, timers, and backflow preventers. This ensures the system is ready for a safe and effective winterization procedure.

2. Draining and Clearing the Lines

Simply shutting off your irrigation system isn’t enough to prevent freeze damage. Our team drains standing water and uses professional air compressors to blow out every zone, ensuring no water remains inside pipes, sprinkler heads, or underground lines.

3. Backflow Preventer Protection

Backflow assemblies are highly vulnerable to freezing. We thoroughly clear and secure this crucial component to prevent internal cracking and costly replacement.

4. Valve and Controller Preparation

We inspect and adjust your irrigation controller, switching settings to “off” or “rain mode” to ensure the system doesn't accidentally attempt to run during winter. All valves are set to safe winter positions to avoid pressure buildup.
