Oakland County Winterization Backed by the No Freeze Damage Guarantee™

Our Winterization service prepares residential and commercial sprinkler systems for Southeast Michigan’s freeze cycle. Before colder weather arrives, we complete the seasonal shutdown, remove water, adjust the controller, and assess visible system conditions.

Water left in irrigation lines, valves, sprinkler heads, and backflow components can expand when it freezes, potentially damaging vulnerable parts. A thorough sprinkler blowout removes this trapped water before temperatures fall.

Schedule Winterization for your home or business before freezing conditions arrive. Call (248) 609-1406 to arrange service for your Oakland County property.

What Your Sprinkler Winterization Service Includes

Our certified irrigation technicians complete a full shutdown rather than simply turning off the controller. We prepare residential irrigation and commercial irrigation systems for colder weather and document repairs that may need attention.

During Winterization, our technicians can:

Shut off the water supply: We stop water from entering the sprinkler system.
Drain the system: We properly remove remaining water and drain the backflow prevention device.
Adjust the irrigation controller: We turn off the controller as part of the seasonal shutdown.
Assess system condition: We inspect the sprinkler system and identify visible concerns.
Plan needed work: We leave an estimate for repairs when we identify service needs.
Answer your questions: We explain our findings so you understand the system’s condition.

Water-Conscious Irrigation Care in Oakland County

Winterization is one part of maintaining an efficient irrigation system throughout its service life. At Conserva Irrigation of Greater Bloomfield, we focus on water conservation through efficient irrigation practices and technology. Conserva Irrigation® smart irrigation systems can reduce water usage by up to 60 percent while supporting a healthy landscape.

Our Winterization service is backed by the No Freeze Damage Guarantee™ for eligible components, subject to its stated conditions and exclusions. This protection reflects our approach to responsible seasonal care and long-term system efficiency.

How We Winterize Your Sprinkler System

A complete seasonal shutdown addresses the water supply, remaining water, backflow components, controller settings, and visible system condition. Our certified irrigation technicians complete each stage and answer questions about findings from the irrigation system assessment.

Water Supply Shutdown

We turn off the water supply before draining the sprinkler system, preventing additional water from entering as we prepare it for freezing conditions.

System & Backflow Drainage

We properly drain water from the sprinkler system and the backflow prevention device. This sprinkler blowout addresses water that could otherwise remain in vulnerable components.

Controller Adjustment

Our technicians turn off the irrigation controller as part of Winterization. The system should remain shut down until seasonal watering is appropriate and a spring startup can be completed as a separate service.

Condition Assessment & Repair Planning

We assess the sprinkler system and identify repairs that may need attention. When repairs are recommended, we leave an estimate for repairs for the property owner to review before the next watering season.

When to Schedule Winterization in Oakland County

Winterization should be completed before freezing conditions arrive. According to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac, October is typically when the growing season ends across Southeast Michigan, but the first freeze varies with fall weather and property conditions.

Scheduling shouldn’t depend on a fixed annual date. If you wait until temperatures fall below freezing, trapped water may already have exposed irrigation lines, valves, sprinkler heads, or backflow components to damage.

Understanding the No Freeze Damage Guarantee™

Our No Freeze Damage Guarantee™ applies to eligible freeze-damaged components after we winterize the system, subject to the guarantee’s stated exclusions. The system must be Winterized before freezing temperatures, and key components must be accessible and functional.

The corporate exclusions include:

Systems that weren’t Winterized before freezing temperatures
A backflow prevention device that wasn’t properly built
Zones that can’t operate
Valves that can’t be located

Prepare for the Next Watering Season

Winterization protects the sprinkler system during colder months, while spring startup is a separate seasonal service. The system should remain shut down until seasonal watering is appropriate.

Before irrigation resumes, property owners can review repair recommendations from the fall assessment and plan any necessary work. This prevents known damage or malfunctions from going unaddressed when watering begins again.
