“To protect your system, you’ll need to completely clear your lines of any water and turn off essential mechanisms before the first hard freeze.“
When you live in a notoriously cold area like the Greater Toronto Area, it is essential to winterize your irrigation system properly.

Sprinkler System Winterization
Intelligent Sprinkler Management starts with experienced and knowledgeable professionals
While it is possible to winterize your sprinklers on your own successfully most people with sprinkler systems choose to rely on professionals to ensure that their system is ready for the cold season. Professional winterization of your sprinkler system gives you peace of mind that it is completely clear of water and that everything from the controller to the sprinkler head is protected from the frosty winter weather.
If you have the right tools, some good handyman skills, and follow instructions carefully, you can clear the lines of the sprinkler system on your own. However, before you take on the task, you should also be aware of some common mistakes do-it-yourselfer’s make when trying this for the first time.
-
Too much pressure can damage lines
Finding the right pressure level for your sprinkler system is a delicate balance. Too low and it won’t completely clear the line, but too high and you risk damaging your pipes or sprinkler system with too much air pressure. -
Protective gear is needed
If you are choosing to blow out your sprinkler system on your own, make sure you are protected! Air compressors can create safety hazards by blowing objects like sticks or rocks into the air. Unknowingly standing next to or over a sprinkler head may also cause a potentially dangerous surprise. Before starting, be sure to wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, clear the yard of debris, and take note of sprinkler head locations. -
A little water can cause a lot of damage
You can’t exactly see inside your pipes, so it’s hard to know if you’ve successfully emptied all of the water. Even a little bit of water left in the wrong place can freeze and expand, causing a fitting or pipe to burst. The best way to be sure is to rely on the help of an experienced professional. -
If you’ve left any water, you won’t know until spring
If you don’t feel confident that you’ve correctly drained your system, you should try again. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize the mistakes they made winterizing their sprinkler system until they discover the damages in the spring. -
Hiring a professional will cost less than repairs
Most people who winterize their own sprinkler system do so to avoid paying for a professional. However, doing this runs the risk of causing damage to your system, which is often much costlier than the nominal fee of a sprinkler system blowout service.

We could not be more thrilled with the service provided this past spring and summer. We have been asked if our back lawn has been “painted” because it is so green! Good for a laugh, but, with your help we have achieved a lawn to be proud of and show off to our friends and family.

I had GTA put in an underground irrigation system in my front lawn. I have never regretted that decision and my lawn has looked fantastic ever since. The work was done professionally by very knowledgeable and pleasant people. I highly recommend them.
