🍂 Why Winterizing Matters in Oklahoma
As Oklahoma nights start to cool and leaves begin to fall, it’s easy to forget about your sprinkler system — until that first hard freeze hits. ❄️ Here in Tulsa and the surrounding areas, temperatures can drop suddenly and without warning. When an irrigation system is not properly prepared for winter you can run into a lot of problems with a busted backflow device, cracked pipes and more!
🔍 What to Check Before Freezing Weather
If you’re preparing for colder nights, here are a few things you can look for:
- Make sure your irrigation controller is turned off or adjusted appropriately for winter watering.
- Inspect your sprinkler system, specifically heads and nozzles, for damage or leaks. (have a professional provide a thorough inspection).
- Check for any sprinkler heads that continuously seep water, which should be addressed as soon as possible!
- Clear away debris from on top of and around your sprinkler heads (included in our inspections).
- Ensure your backflow preventer is properly insulated and your system is prepared for winter.
These simple checks can go a long way in protecting your system through the harsh winter months. Need help any of these? Call us today: 📞 Call (918) 504-8819 to schedule your winter check-up today!
