Spring Start-up

Why do you need a spring start-up

The cold weather can take its toll on an irrigation system and if not started up properly can add some costly repairs. Contact our office and schedule a day and time for your residential or commercial irrigation system start-up with a professional irrigation technician. It’s more than just flicking a switch and this is why we at Raintech Irrigation are here to help.

What to expect from a start-up service

Every irrigation system is a little different but with every start-up we ensure that everything is up and running as it should be:

Pressurize / Charge Mainline- We will need access into your basement for the irrigation main water shut off
Monitor Mainline – check for any visible leaks or a disruption in the water meter
Monitor All Zones – The manifold and valve box are checked for any leaks or damage
Monitor Electrical performance – Running an electrical continuity test to make sure that all the zones are coming on and shutting off as per the controller’s command
Controller programming – Day & Time set to client’s requests & lawn maintenance schedule
Monitor Coverage- Adjust head settings for maximum water flow and growth potential
Checking each zone for winter damage to heads and any leaks in the lines
Performing necessary repairs (larger scale repairs may need an additional appointment)

The irrigation start-up includes a full system inspection by our technician. For the appointment, we do require someone to be home, and will need access inside as the irrigation start-up first takes place in the basement. Each system requires a thorough look at the main line, irrigation controller, manifold, and valves while the system is being pressurized. Moving outwards into the yard to inspect each zone while running, our technicians check for leaks, tend to any adjustments needed to ensure proper coverage and replace any missing or broken parts. We will set up and discuss the controller settings based on your watering preferences and lawn maintenance schedule. If there are any other irrigation related devices, we will ensure that those are fully functional.

The time it takes to start-up an irrigation system depends on a few factors such as the number of zones you may have and prior knowledge of any minor or major repairs that are needed.

During the appointment you are free to follow our technicians and ask any questions you may have pertaining to your start-up or irrigation system in general.
