What it is, and why it matters.
Turning the water back on too fast can burst fittings, and a winter of freeze and mowers leaves damaged heads and cracked pipe. We open the system slowly, fill the lines, run every zone, check each head for tilt, clog and coverage and look for leaks and wet spots.
In Middle Tennessee, we typically start systems after the last hard freezes in spring, and we reprogram the controller for the growing season. We give you a written report with anything that needs repair, so you start the season with a system you can trust.
