Seasonal Sprinkler Maintenance in Burnaby & BC’s Lower Mainland – Keep Your System Running Year-Round

Seasonal Sprinkler Maintenance

If you live in Burnaby or anywhere in BC’s Lower Mainland, you know our climate brings everything from spring downpours to hot, dry summers and chilly winters. Your sprinkler system needs to keep up with those seasonal shifts—and that’s where seasonal sprinkler maintenance comes in. It keeps your irrigation system efficient, problem-free, and ready for every season.

What is Seasonal Sprinkler Maintenance?

Seasonal maintenance involves inspecting, adjusting, and preparing your sprinkler system for the changes that each season brings. From spring start-up to fall winterization, this regular service helps you avoid costly repairs and keeps your lawn looking great.

Common Problems Prevented by Regular Maintenance

  • Leaks and underground pipe damage
  • Clogged or broken sprinkler heads
  • Uneven coverage and dry patches
  • Frozen lines and cracked components
  • Wasted water and inflated bills

Spring Start-Up Services

After a long winter, your system needs a proper check-up. We’ll inspect every zone, flush lines, check water pressure, adjust heads, and reprogram your controller for springtime watering.

Summer Optimization Check

Mid-season means more heat and higher water demand. Our summer check ensures your system is watering efficiently, preventing stress on your lawn and plants. We’ll also update your watering schedule for conservation and performance.

Fall Winterization Services

When temperatures drop, it’s crucial to winterize your system. We blow out all water from the lines using a commercial air compressor, shut off valves, and disconnect timers to prevent freezing and damage.
