Hear from Our Customers
You wake up in spring to a system that works perfectly. No burst pipes flooding your yard. No expensive emergency calls because someone “forgot” to winterize properly.
Your sprinkler system fires up exactly like it should, every zone working, every head intact. That’s what happens when we handle your irrigation winterization in Dix Hills, NY the right way.
The alternative costs thousands. Water expands when it freezes, and your pipes don’t stand a chance against Long Island’s winter temperatures. We’ve seen homeowners spend $5,000 fixing what a $100 service would have prevented.
Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been protecting irrigation systems across Suffolk County for years. We’re not the guys who show up with a shop compressor and hope for the best.
We understand exactly what Dix Hills, NY properties face during winter. We’ve seen the damage that comes from improper winterization, and we’ve built our reputation by making sure it doesn’t happen to our customers.
We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade compressors designed specifically for irrigation systems. When we winterize your system, it stays protected.
We start by shutting down your system completely and setting controllers to prevent accidental activation. Then we connect our professional compressor to your system’s air connection.
Working zone by zone, we blow compressed air through each section until only air comes out of the sprinkler heads. No water left behind means no freeze damage.
We finish by draining any manual valves and protecting exposed components. The whole process takes about 30 minutes for most systems, and you’re protected all winter long.

Your irrigation winterization in Dix Hills, NY includes complete water removal from all zones, proper controller shutdown, and protection of vulnerable components. We use compressors specifically designed for irrigation systems, not general-purpose equipment.
Dix Hills homeowners face the same challenge every fall: Long Island’s unpredictable weather can bring freezing temperatures as early as October. When water freezes in your pipes, it expands up to 9% and cracks even the strongest PVC.
We time our services perfectly for Suffolk County conditions. Too early and you might need watering again. Too late and you risk that sudden cold snap that destroys systems overnight.
The best time for irrigation winterization in Dix Hills is between mid-October and early November. This timing protects your system from sudden cold snaps while allowing for any late-season watering needs.
Long Island weather is unpredictable, and temperatures can drop below freezing unexpectedly in late October. We typically start taking winterization appointments in mid-September for early November service.
Don’t wait until the first freeze warning. Once temperatures consistently approach 32°F, your system is at risk, and emergency winterization costs more than scheduled service.
Without proper winterization, water left in your irrigation system will freeze and expand, cracking pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads. The damage often isn’t visible until spring when you turn the system back on.
Burst underground pipes can flood your yard and create expensive water bills. Damaged manifolds and valve boxes require complete replacement, often costing thousands of dollars.
The repair costs typically run 10-20 times more than professional winterization. We’ve seen homeowners spend $3,000-$5,000 fixing damage that a $100 winterization service would have prevented.
While it’s technically possible, professional winterization requires specialized compressors and knowledge of proper air pressure limits. Using incorrect pressure can damage your system just as badly as freezing.
PVC pipes require different pressure settings than polyethylene pipes. Too much pressure cracks fittings. Too little pressure leaves water in the lines.
Professional equipment removes water completely in about 30 minutes. Homeowner-grade compressors often take hours and may not remove all water, leaving your system vulnerable to freeze damage.
Professional sprinkler winterization in Dix Hills typically costs between $75-$150, depending on your system size and number of zones. This investment protects systems worth thousands of dollars.
The cost varies based on how many zones your system has and any special requirements like multiple backflow preventers or complex manifold setups.
Compare that to spring repair costs: replacing a damaged manifold runs $500-$800, and rerunning broken underground lines costs $15-$25 per foot. Professional winterization pays for itself by preventing just one major repair.
Our complete irrigation winterization includes shutting off water supply, draining all zones with professional compressors, protecting exposed components, and setting controllers to prevent accidental activation during winter.
We use compressors specifically designed for irrigation systems, ensuring proper pressure levels that remove water without damaging components. Each zone is blown out individually until only air exits the sprinkler heads.
We also inspect your system for any existing damage that should be addressed before winter. If we find issues, we’ll explain what needs attention and provide repair estimates.
Yes, we guarantee your irrigation system won’t suffer freeze damage after our professional winterization service. If properly winterized components fail due to freezing, we’ll handle the repairs.
Our guarantee covers the winterization process itself, not existing damage or components that were already failing. We inspect systems before winterizing and will point out any concerns.
This guarantee is possible because we use proper equipment and proven techniques. We’ve been winterizing systems in Suffolk County for years, and our methods protect your investment all winter long.
