Sprinkler maintenance in Yakima
Water left in a sprinkler line freezes and breaks things in a Yakima winter. Colonial services irrigation systems from spring start-up to fall blowout, with seven inspections in between.
What a maintenance visit includes
Our irrigation technicians handle everything from a slight recalibration to a repair to winterizing. The service is meant to keep water use efficient and the lawn evenly watered.

the whole system looked over for problems.
Cleaning and head adjustment
heads cleaned and aimed correctly.
Leak and malfunction checks

Repairs
replacement components where something has failed.
Winterizing
lines cleared to prevent freeze damage.
Seven inspections through the seasons
Prevention beats cure. A technician visits seven times through the season, from preparing the system in spring to getting it ready for winter. Spring preparation is about more than flipping a switch, since it sets up months of watering. Winter protection matters because residual water in the lines can cause significant damage once it freezes.
The blowout
The seasonal blowout is one of the key services. In Yakima's cold months, water in the system can freeze and burst pipes, leading to costly repairs. A blowout uses compressed air to push the water out of the lines, protecting the system and getting it ready to run when you need it again in spring.
What regular maintenance saves
It helps avoid uneven watering, leaks and high water bills. Catching issues early saves repairs and replacements later, and an evenly watered lawn is healthier and looks better. Call the Yakima office to book start-up, a check or a winter blowout.
