Winterization
Commercial irrigation systems are wonderful tools when they are working properly and can cause a wave of problems when they’re not. One way to ensure they are functioning at the optimal level is to offer routine maintenance at appropriate times throughout the year. Different climates and different seasons present various challenges for irrigation systems, but with regular inspections, a system should last for years.
The Importance of Winterization in Commercial Irrigation Systems
For commercial businesses and organizations that experience all four seasons, it is best to winterize an irrigation system to ensure functionality during and after the thaw. The winter months in many climates can spell doom for commercial irrigation systems, especially when they’re older, possessing pipes that have experienced a certain amount of corrosion over the years. However, new systems are just as susceptible to frozen lines that can create serious problems for any irrigation system. The cost comparison of prevention vs. repair isn’t equivalent.
Commercial Irrigation Inspections and Routine Maintenance
System inspections and routine maintenance procedures for commercial irrigation systems, including winterization, serve as the best way to keep a system functioning at proper capacity. All too often, commercial property owners and operators wait until a repair is needed to care for an irrigation system. At that point, the system may very well cost more to repair than one might imagine. Routine maintenance will ensure proper water flow, proper water use, proper water zones and will fit much easier into a budget than costly repairs due to damage.
