Fall is here and beautiful in Pullman Washington. The leaves are putting on their spectacular final show before dropping. And temperatures are dropping as well. By Monday it the weather forecast is that we might drop down to a chilly 33 degrees. So, I wanted to remind my buyers who are now new homeowners, if you haven’t yet had your sprinkler system blown out and winterized, now is the time to get it scheduled! And if you are one of sellers who have your home on the market, it is a great idea not only to get the sprinkler system winterized, but keep your receipt handy so your new buyer knows you took care of it.
And just a quick reminder, don’t back up those moving vans on the lawn. It may make loading your truck easier, but it sure can cause a lot of expensive damage to the sprinkler system.
If you,like myself, aren’t as lucky to have a sprinkler system, don’t forget to disconnect those outside hoses. Freezing water in a hose expands, often into the interior pipes, causing a lot of damage.
It is also a good time to coil up those hoses, and put those sprinklers away waiting for warmer spring days to return.
