Winterization includes professionally blowing out water from irrigation lines to minimize the risk of freezing and damage.
Winterization appointments are offered from September 15 to mid-October. All systems must be winterized before mid-October to ensure protection. Appointments requested after compressors have been returned (typically mid-October) are subject to a minimum charge of $250. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment. Missed appointments may be subject to a service call fee.
Pricing is based on $90 + GST for up to 7 zones, with additional charges for extra zones, points of connection, or indoor access. Custom pricing may apply for complex or unique systems. All invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Water Shut-Off Requirement: Customers must ensure the irrigation water supply is turned off the Sunday prior to their scheduled appointment. If water is still on when our technicians arrive, the appointment will be rescheduled to the next available date in your area and may be subject to additional service charges. InstaRain Irrigation Inc. is not liable for any system damage if freezing occurs before the rescheduled appointment. Customers who wait too long to book and require a late-season appointment are subject to a minimum $250 late-season fee, and InstaRain Irrigation Inc. is not liable for any damage that occurs if freezing weather arrives before service can be completed. The customer must ensure clear access to all valves, taps, and system components at the scheduled time. If indoor access is required, someone must be present or arrangements made for safe entry. Pets, gates, and obstacles must be secured to allow safe and timely service.
Air-Pressure Winterization Disclaimer: Although irrigation systems are not originally designed to have air pushed through them, this is the only practical method to properly winterize systems in our climate. Air pressure can create more stress on the system than normal water operation. InstaRain Irrigation Inc. cannot be held liable for any damage that may occur as a result of the winterization process, as such occurrences are beyond our control. Winterization reduces the risk of freeze-related damage but does not guarantee against damage caused by: Pre-existing issues (e.g., leaks, broken lines, malfunctioning parts). Failure to properly drain or maintain components not connected to the irrigation system. Extreme weather conditions outside of normal seasonal patterns. InstaRain Irrigation Inc. is not responsible for damage arising from: Delayed scheduling or failure to book service in time. Water left on resulting in rescheduled service dates. Inaccessible components or systems not serviced by us.
