Essential Sprinkler Start-Up & Winterization in Aurora, IL

Sprinklers Montoya Irrigation

Protect Your Irrigation Investment Through Every Season. We Provide Professional Service to Prepare Your System for Spring Growth and Harsh Illinois Winters.

The extreme seasons in Aurora demand proper care for your irrigation system. A successful spring season starts with a professional activation, and surviving a freezing winter without damage requires a thorough shutdown. Montoya Irrigation offers essential seasonal services to ensure your system operates efficiently and remains protected year-round.

Attempting to do this yourself can lead to missed steps and costly damage. Trust our experts to handle the crucial tasks of spring start-ups and fall winterizations.

Our Comprehensive Spring Start-Up Service

As the weather warms up in Aurora, it’s time to safely awaken your sprinkler system. Our spring start-up is more than just turning on a valve.

Gradual Water Pressurization

We slowly open the main water valve to prevent "water hammer," which can damage pipes and valves.

Full System Inspection

We run each zone individually, checking for any leaks or damage that may have occurred over the winter.

Controller Programming

We set a customized, water-efficient schedule on your controller based on current seasonal conditions.

Our Thorough Fall Winterization (Blow-Out) Service

This is the single most important service to protect your system from freeze damage. Water left in the pipes can freeze, expand, and crack pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads, leading to thousands of dollars in repairs.

– Water Supply Shutdown: We shut off the main water supply to the irrigation system.

– High-Volume Air Compressor Blow-Out: We connect a commercial-grade air compressor to the system and force high-volume, low-pressure air through every pipe and zone, completely purging all water from the lines, valves, and heads.

System Safeguarding: We ensure all components, including the controller, are properly set for the winter months.

Why Professional Seasonal Service is Crucial

Using a shop compressor or simply draining the system is not enough. Only a professional blow-out with the right equipment can guarantee all water is removed. A single frozen pipe can lead to a landscape-flooding disaster in the spring. Don’t take the risk—protect your investment.
