Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens if I skip winterizing my irrigation system?
Water trapped in the lines expands when it freezes and splits poly pipe, cracks valve bodies, and blows the internals out of pop-up heads. Even a mild Vancouver cold snap down to -5°C overnight is enough to do it, and repair bills the following spring typically run $600 to $2,500 depending on where the damage is.
What does a blow-out or spring start-up cost in Vancouver?
A standard residential fall blow-out runs around $120 to $200 CAD for most properties, and a spring start-up with a full system check is in a similar range. Larger systems with more zones or backflow devices that need certified testing can push $250 to $400.
When should I book winterization in the Lower Mainland?
We recommend booking between mid-October and mid-November, once consistent overnight temperatures drop toward freezing but before the first hard frost. The first significant cold snap in Vancouver usually shows up in late November, and calendars fill up fast in the two weeks before it hits.
Do you bring your own compressor or do I need one?
We bring a high-volume commercial compressor (typically 80-185 CFM), home shop compressors don't move enough air to clear residential zones properly and can actually damage heads by over-pressurizing one line at a time. Ours pushes every zone clean in a single pass at the correct pressure for poly pipe.
What's included in a spring start-up visit?
We slowly re-pressurize the system, inspect every zone for leaks or cracked components from winter, adjust heads that have shifted or been hit by mowers, test the backflow preventer, and reprogram the controller for the current season and any active Metro Vancouver watering restrictions.
