November - Time to Winterize Your
Sprinkler System

Dropping Temperatures Drop Soggy Surprises
on Homeowners

With the first widespread freeze set to hit this weekend, homeowners could be unpleasantly surprised. When temperatures fall below 25 degrees at night, if there is water left in sprinkler systems, it can cause the pipes to burst creating problems:
  • Flooded lawns
  • Flooded basements
  • Damage to Landscaping
  • Damage to Neighbor’s Lawn
  • Costly Repairs
"Many times, we get frantic calls from homeowners describing a ´geyser´ in their front yard," said Wes Ory, owner of Heritage Lawns and Irrigation in Kansas City. "It’s not something you want to forget to do."

Another problem area is hoses that are left attached to outdoor faucets. As a rule of thumb, all outdoor water sources should be free of water by mid-November to be safe.
