Sprinkler System Winterization in the Portland Metro Area

When temperatures drop in the Portland area, your irrigation system needs proper protection from freezing weather. Sprinkler system winterization is one of the most important services you can schedule to prevent costly damage to your pipes, valves, and backflow preventer. At Earthborn Landscape Services, we provide professional sprinkler winterization services throughout the Portland metro area, helping homeowners safeguard their irrigation systems before winter sets in.

Why Sprinkler Winterization Is Essential

Freezing temperatures can cause the water left inside your irrigation system to expand, leading to cracked pipes, damaged sprinkler heads, and costly repairs in the spring. Our winterization process ensures your system is completely free of water, so you can rest easy all winter long.

This service is typically performed in late fall, after the warm weather has passed and before the first hard freeze. It’s also included as part of our annual irrigation maintenance program, making it easy to keep your system in top shape year-round.

Our Winterization Process

During the sprinkler winterization service, our technicians:

• Blow out all irrigation lines using professional-grade compressed air to remove standing water.

• Ensure the backflow preventer is properly cleared and protected.

• Shut down the system safely to avoid electrical or valve damage.

• Inspect key components to make sure your system will start up smoothly in the spring.

If your system does not have a backflow preventer, we can perform a manual winterization to ensure your irrigation lines are properly drained and protected.
