You won’t be dealing with burst pipes, flooded yards, or massive repair bills come spring. Your irrigation system gets properly blown out with compressed air, removing every drop of water that could freeze and crack your lines.
No more worrying about whether you turned off the right valve or if water is still trapped somewhere in the system. The job gets done right the first time, so you can focus on other winter preparations instead of stressing about potential irrigation disasters.
When March rolls around, your system fires right back up without the headaches, delays, or surprise costs that hit property owners who skipped winterization or tried to handle it themselves.
We’ve been handling property maintenance across Suffolk County for years, and we know exactly what Bridgehampton’s winters do to irrigation systems. We’ve seen the aftermath when systems aren’t properly winterized—burst manifolds, cracked PVC, and repair bills that could have been avoided.
We’re based right here in Smithtown, so we understand Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and how they affect everything from your main lines to your sprinkler heads. When we winterize your system, it’s with the kind of local expertise that comes from actually living and working in this climate year after year.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, and we treat every winterization like it’s our own property because we know how much these systems cost to replace.
First, we shut off your main water supply to the irrigation system—not just the valve you might think controls everything, but the actual supply line that feeds your entire setup. This stops any new water from entering while we work.
Next comes the critical part: blowing out every zone with compressed air. We use professional-grade equipment designed specifically for irrigation systems, not some general-purpose compressor that could damage your lines. Each zone gets blown out individually until only air comes through the sprinkler heads.
Finally, we shut down and disconnect your controller, so there’s no chance of accidental activation during winter. We also mark everything clearly so you know the system has been properly winterized. If we spot any issues during the process—worn valves, damaged heads, anything that might cause problems in spring—we’ll flag it so you can address it before startup season.

Your winterization includes a full system inspection while we work. Bridgehampton properties often have complex irrigation setups that serve both landscaping and specific plantings that need different water coverage. We check every component—valves, heads, main lines, and backflow preventers—for signs of wear or potential problems.
Long Island’s sandy soil and coastal conditions create unique challenges for irrigation systems. Salt air can corrode fittings faster than inland areas, and the freeze-thaw cycle here is particularly hard on PVC components. We know what to look for and how these local conditions affect different parts of your system.
You also get our guarantee that your system won’t freeze after our winterization service. That’s not just confidence in our work—it’s understanding exactly what it takes to protect irrigation systems through a Bridgehampton winter.
Schedule your winterization by mid to late October, before consistent freezing temperatures hit Bridgehampton. Long Island typically sees its first freeze between late October and early November, but you don’t want to wait until the last minute.
The best time is when nighttime temperatures start dropping into the 40s regularly. This gives you a buffer before any surprise early freeze, and it’s when most professional companies have availability before their schedules fill up.
Don’t wait until you hear a freeze warning in the forecast. By then, it might be too late to get scheduled, and you’ll be risking damage to your system.
Water left in your irrigation lines will freeze when temperatures drop below 32 degrees, and frozen water expands with enough force to crack pipes, burst valves, and destroy sprinkler heads. In Bridgehampton’s climate, this isn’t a maybe—it’s a when.
You’ll likely face repair costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on how much of your system gets damaged. Manifolds made of PVC are particularly vulnerable and can shatter completely during freeze-thaw cycles.
Beyond the repair costs, you’ll deal with water waste if main lines burst, potential flooding in your yard, and delays getting your system back online in spring when you need it most for your landscaping.
While it’s technically possible, proper winterization requires specialized compressed air equipment and knowledge of how much pressure different system components can handle. Too little pressure leaves water in the lines, too much pressure can damage valves and fittings.
Most homeowners don’t have access to the right equipment or understand the specific process for their system type. Different irrigation setups—whether you have a simple spray system or complex drip zones—require different approaches.
The cost of professional winterization is minimal compared to the repair bills you’ll face if the job isn’t done correctly. One mistake during DIY winterization can easily cost more to fix than years of professional service.
Professional winterization typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your system’s size and complexity. A basic residential system with 6-8 zones usually takes about an hour, while larger properties with multiple zones and special features take longer.
The actual blowout process is relatively quick once we’re set up. Most of the time goes into properly shutting down the system, setting up our equipment, and doing the thorough inspection that comes with professional service.
Systems that haven’t been maintained regularly or have older components may take additional time if we discover issues that need immediate attention to prevent winter damage.
Our winterization includes shutting off your main water supply, blowing out every zone with professional compressed air equipment, and properly shutting down your controller system. We also inspect all visible components during the process.
If we find any issues—damaged heads, worn valves, or other problems that could cause spring startup issues—we’ll document them and discuss options with you. This inspection is included in the service because catching problems now saves you time and money later.
You get our guarantee that your system won’t freeze after our winterization, plus clear marking of all shut-off points so you know the work has been completed properly. We also provide guidance on any additional steps you might need for specific system components.
