Good Reasons to Hire a Professional for Spring Irrigation Startup Services

Posted by Writer - April 30, 2020 - Spring Startup Service

The weather is warming up, and plants and grass are sprouting new growth—these are both signs that spring is here. If you have a sprinkler system installed on your property, now is the time to prepare it for regular use. The thing about irrigation systems, though, is that they can be finicky upon seasonal startup. After months of non-use, sprinkler pipes, sprinkler heads and other components could benefit from a thorough inspection. Using a checklist during the inspection ensures that every part of your irrigation system is in good shape, free of damage and ready to do its job.

Why is it important to hire an expert to get your irrigation system in Burlington County, NJ up and running this spring? Here’s a closer look at why you should work with a professional instead of attempting this job yourself.

The importance of hiring a professional

Many homeowners and business property owners don’t consider sprinkler startup service something that requires professional assistance—they assume it’s a simple DIY job. While actual sprinkler repair experience allows you to safely do it yourself, you should absolutely call a professional if you aren’t knowledgeable or don’t own the right tools. Whether it’s a residential, commercial or municipal sprinkler system you’re getting ready to power on, it needs a professional checkup. Professional service helps prevent costly damage to components and ensures watering efficiency, as well as providing a record of all maintenance, notes and recommendations.

Four good reasons to go with a pro

Your landscaping needs to receive enough moisture to grow. Under-watering or over-watering puts plants at a major disadvantage, so make sure your irrigation system can function without any problems this spring. Below are four good reasons to hire a professional company for sprinkler startup service:

  • Identify cold weather damage: Proper sprinkler system winterization and shutdown does not guarantee everything will work fine come spring. Cold winter weather can still damage sprinkler system components, which is why a professional inspection is a good idea. During your irrigation startup appointment, your contractor will check for signs of broken sprinkler heads, damaged pipes and water backflow issues. If they find a problem, they will repair it.
  • Save time: There are several steps involved in irrigation startup, including opening the shutoff valves, opening up the main valve, reinstalling the bleeder cap and performing a manual test. All these steps will take a novice a lot of time, while a pro will be able to get them done quickly.
  • Avoid unexpected problems: Attempting sprinkler startup yourself can make matters worse or create unexpected problems. Cracks and breaks lead to extra costs for professional repairs that could’ve been avoided had you just hired a pro to begin with.
  • No need to buy specialty equipment: Sprinkler startup and repairs require specific types of tools and equipment. Advanced sprinkler maintenance equipment is not cheap. When you hire a pro, they bring everything they need.
