There are a lot of moving parts in an irrigation system, and it can seem deceptively simple to turn it on in spring – but there's a lot more that goes into it. By investing in a professional irrigation start-up service instead of doing it yourself, you can be confident that every detail is being accounted for! Professionals will pressurize your system without bursting the pipes, activate zones and ensure they're getting the right amount of water, tune the controller, and more. They'll also keep an eye out for broken or old parts that need to be replaced, catching these issues early before they develop into a broader problem. A professional irrigation company will be well-versed on any area-specific water restrictions – like those in some parts of Alberta – to ensure your irrigation system complies with all rules and regulations.


A professional team will safely and meticulously turn on your irrigation system.

An irrigation system can be highly complicated, and if you turn it on without taking the proper precautions, it can result in a series of big headaches for you to deal with. When you hire a professional team, they'll take the time to pore over every factor to make sure everything is accounted for and safely activated. Services you can expect from a professional team in an irrigation start-up service are:

  • Pressurizing the irrigation system without bursting any pipes
  • Activating each zone properly
  • Ensuring each zone is getting the correct amount of water
  • Checking that each part of the irrigation system is fully functional and working correctly
  • Adjusting sprinkler heads as needed for full coverage
  • Tuning the irrigation controller
  • And more

There's a lot that goes into a proper irrigation start-up, and missing intricate details can be disastrous. It's best to leave it up to meticulous professionals with industry expertise to get it done right!


Professionals can catch irrigation issues early on and resolve them before they get worse.

A professional irrigation team will have seen it all and know the red flags to look for when things are beginning to go awry. Their team will keep an eye out during the irrigation start-up service for any broken or old parts that need to be replaced. These issues, if not caught early on, will only cost you money down the line as they become a bigger problem. The more damage they do, the higher the repair bill becomes – and that's not even taking into account the higher water bill that'll result from things like leaky valves. Catching these issues early and resolving them before they get worse is what a professional eye brings to the table.
