Irrigation Start Up & Blow Out

Irrigation Start Up Service in Michigan

The J.E.T. Lawn Care & Landscaping team of professionals understands the importance of a properly functioning irrigation system in maintaining a healthy, thriving landscape for your commercial property. We offer comprehensive irrigation start up and blow out services to ensure that your system operates efficiently and effectively throughout the year.

The irrigation start-up process involves inspecting sprinkler heads and nozzles, gradually pressurizing the system, programming the controller, and testing the system for optimal performance. On the other hand, the blow-out process includes deactivating the system, draining the backflow device, blowing compressed air to remove water from pipes and sprinkler heads, inspecting the components for residual water, and winterizing the controller. These processes are crucial for maintaining a functional and efficient irrigation system throughout the year, protecting it from potential damage caused by freezing temperatures during winter.
