Spring Irrigation Startup in Cornelius, NC — Catch Small Problems Before Summer

Turning the water back on too fast is how people break their own system. Pressure hits the lines all at once and finds every weak fitting. We open it slowly, walk every zone, and fix what winter did before the first dry week of summer arrives.

When You Need Spring Irrigation Startup

Start up in March or April, after the last hard freeze but before plants need regular water. Do it early enough that any repairs are done before the heat. Signs you need service at startup: zones that will not run, heads that do not pop up, water at the backflow, or a controller that lost its program over the winter. Waiting until June means dry lawn while you wait for a repair slot.

Our Spring Irrigation Startup Process

We open the main supply slowly to avoid pressure surge, then check the backflow assembly for freeze damage. We run each zone and watch every head for breaks, leaks, sunken heads, and bad aim, adjusting nozzles for proper coverage. We inspect valves and wiring, then program the controller for spring, with a plan to shift run times as summer comes. You get a short report of anything we found. Most visits take about an hour.

Spring Irrigation Startup Cost in Cornelius

Cost depends on zone count and whether repairs are needed beyond basic adjustment. Startup itself is a flat visit price we give you when you book. Any repairs are quoted before we do them, so nothing surprises you on the invoice. No hidden fees and no trip charge.
