Irrigation Start-Up Service for Properties in Independence, Gladstone, North Kansas City, MO & Surrounding Areas
Schedule your irrigation start-up service to ensure your system is operating how it should after the winter season.
Winter can take a toll on your irrigation system, especially if you forgot to schedule a professional winterization service. Your irrigation system should be checked every spring to ensure that every part is running correctly and that it will provide adequate coverage throughout the spring and summer seasons. At Sam's Turf Care, we offer an irrigation start-up service which includes running through a checklist and making sure every part of your system is fully functional and ready to go. We also provide backflow testing, which is an annual requirement in Missouri.
We provide our irrigation start-up service to residential, commercial, and HOA properties in Independence, Gladstone, North Kansas City, MO, and nearby areas.
What does our irrigation start-up process involve?
When you choose to partner with us for your irrigation start-up, you can be sure that we will go above and beyond to ensure your system is operating perfectly. Our irrigation start-up process involves:
- Safely pressurizing the system so that pipes don't burst
- Checking the valve box to look for any signs of damage or leaks
- Opening all the valves and drains and making sure they are connected to a water source
- Checking each sprinkler head to make sure they are working right and providing optimal lawn coverage
- Filling the main lines with water to see if there are any leaks or damages to the pipes
- Ensuring all timers are active
- Making sure the rain sensor works
- Resetting and activating the sprinkler system program controller
When should irrigation start-ups be scheduled?
As spring arrives, your grass will start to come out of its winter dormancy. During this time, it is essential that it receives water regularly so it can regain its strength and become luscious and healthy. This is why you should always schedule your irrigation start-up in early spring. If there are any problems with your system, our team will offer solutions so you won't have to worry about your lawn experiencing prolonged periods without any water.
Schedule your irrigation start-up service before spring arrives to ensure a spot on our calendar!
Backflow testing will keep your water clean.
Irrigation system backflow happens when water starts to flow in the opposite direction than it is supposed to. This can be a very hazardous situation. That's because fertilizer and pesticides could be drawn into your main water line through your irrigation system, thus, reaching your household plumbing and contaminating your drinking water. Annual backflow testing is meant to prevent this from happening.
Backflow testing is an annual requirement in Missouri and needs to be done by certified professionals. At Sam's Turf Care, we have the certifications and know how to perform this test and ensure that your water is safe and your backflow prevention device is working correctly.
