You invested serious money in your irrigation system. Now it works perfectly, waters your lawn efficiently, and saves you hours of manual watering every week.
But one unprotected freeze can turn that investment into a nightmare of burst pipes, flooded yards, and thousands in repair bills. Professional winterization in Deer Park, NY means your system stays protected when temperatures drop below 32 degrees.
Your pipes stay intact. Your sprinkler heads remain undamaged. And come spring, you flip the switch and everything works exactly like it should.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc. has been protecting irrigation systems across Suffolk County for years. We understand how unpredictable Long Island winters can be and how quickly that first freeze can sneak up on you.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, with the specialized equipment needed to properly winterize irrigation systems in Deer Park, NY. We’re not handymen with basic compressors. We use professional-grade equipment designed specifically for irrigation blowout services.
When we winterize your system, it stays winterized. We guarantee our work because we know how to do it right the first time.
First, we shut off your main water supply and set your controller to “off” mode. This prevents any water from entering the system during the process.
Next, we connect our specialized high-volume compressor to your irrigation system. This isn’t a regular compressor – it’s designed specifically for sprinkler winterization with precise pressure control to avoid damaging your pipes or components.
We then blow out each zone individually, pushing all residual water through your sprinkler heads until only air comes out. This ensures every pipe, valve, and component is completely free of water that could freeze and expand.
Finally, we mark your system with winterization tags and verify everything is properly shut down. The entire process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your system size.

Our winterization service in Deer Park, NY covers every component that could be damaged by freezing temperatures. We drain all water lines, blow out every zone, and flush your backflow assembly to protect internal components.
Long Island’s climate makes professional winterization essential. Temperatures can drop below freezing as early as October, and it only takes one cold night to cause thousands in damage. We schedule winterization services from mid-October through November to ensure your system is protected before that first freeze hits.
Unlike companies that offer cheap “winterization specials,” we use the proper equipment and follow the complete process. Your system gets tagged with winterization markers, and we provide documentation that the service was completed correctly.
Schedule your winterization between mid-October and early November in Deer Park, NY. Long Island weather can drop below freezing as early as October, and you need to winterize before consistent freezing temperatures arrive.
Don’t wait for the first freeze warning. By then, it might be too late. Professional irrigation companies book up quickly during peak winterization season, so calling in early October ensures you get scheduled before the cold weather hits.
The key is protecting your system before temperatures reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit consistently. One night of freezing can cause water in your pipes to expand and crack components throughout your entire irrigation system.
Without proper winterization, water left in your irrigation pipes will freeze and expand when temperatures drop. This expansion cracks pipes, breaks valves, and damages sprinkler heads throughout your system.
If your main line bursts, you’ll have water constantly flowing into your yard, creating flooding and extremely high water bills. In spring, you’ll face expensive repairs or potentially need to replace your entire system – which costs thousands more than a new installation because the old system has to be excavated first.
The manifold, made of PVC, is particularly vulnerable to the freeze-thaw cycle and can shatter completely. Professional winterization prevents all of this damage for a fraction of what repairs would cost.
Professional winterization typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of your irrigation system. Systems with more zones take longer, but our specialized equipment makes the process efficient.
Companies using improper equipment might take 3+ hours because they’re not using compressors designed for irrigation systems. Our professional-grade compressors are built specifically for sprinkler winterization, allowing us to complete the job quickly without risking damage to your system.
We work zone by zone, blowing out each section until only air comes through the sprinkler heads. This thorough approach ensures no water remains anywhere in your system while keeping the service time reasonable.
Irrigation winterization requires specialized high-pressure compressors and precise technique to avoid damaging your system. Using the wrong equipment or improper pressure can actually cause more damage than not winterizing at all.
Professional compressors are specifically designed for irrigation systems with metered pressure controls. Regular compressors can put too much pressure into your system, cracking pipes or damaging valves. Too little pressure leaves water in the lines, defeating the purpose entirely.
Licensed irrigation technicians also know how to properly sequence the winterization process, which zones to blow out first, and how to identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs in spring.
Yes, we stand behind our irrigation winterization work. When we properly winterize your system using the correct equipment and process, your irrigation system will be protected from freeze damage all winter long.
Our guarantee reflects our confidence in our specialized equipment and trained technicians. We use professional-grade compressors designed specifically for irrigation systems, not general-purpose equipment that might leave water in your lines.
If you experience freeze-related damage after our professional winterization service, we’ll address the issue. This level of confidence comes from years of experience and using the right tools for the job.
Professional winterization uses specialized irrigation compressors with precise pressure controls and follows a complete process that protects every system component. Cheap services often use inadequate equipment or skip critical steps, leaving your system vulnerable.
Companies advertising “winterization specials” frequently use this as a bait-and-switch tactic. They’ll quote a low price, then charge high fees for “necessary” repairs they discover during the inadequate service. You end up paying more and getting less protection.
Professional services include proper equipment, trained technicians, system tagging, and documentation. The small price difference between professional and cheap winterization is nothing compared to the thousands you could spend on freeze damage repairs.
