Spring Irrigation Start Ups

Professional spring irrigation start-up in Seattle means bringing your system back online carefully instead of just cranking the valve and hoping nothing explodes. Our spring start-up service follows a methodical process: we slowly pressurize the system zone by zone to check for leaks or damage that occurred during winter, manually activate each station to verify all heads pop up and rotate properly, inspect valves and backflow preventers for cracks or wear, test the controller to confirm zones activate in the correct sequence and duration, adjust spray patterns that may have shifted from frost heave or settling, flush out any debris that accumulated in lines during the off-season, and replace broken or clogged heads before you turn the system on for real.

This matters in Seattle because even though we don't get hard freezes like other regions, our wet winters still cause issues—roots grow into irrigation lines, soil shifts around heads, valves stick from sitting unused for six months, and controller batteries die over winter. The benefit of professional irrigation start-up services is that we catch expensive problems during a scheduled appointment rather than discovering them at 9 PM when you notice half your lawn isn't getting water and the other half is flooding, and we ensure your system runs efficiently from day one instead of wasting water through misaligned heads and pressure issues that cost you money all summer.

Proper spring activation also means your landscape gets consistent coverage right when new growth starts in April and May, which is critical for establishing plants and maintaining the lawn density that naturally crowds out weeds throughout the growing season—because professional sprinkler system start-up in Seattle sets your irrigation up for success rather than frustration.
