Wrap the backflow before the first freeze night
A Gulf freeze is short and mean. Above-grade PVC and backflow bodies in Spring split if they are still charged. Wrap, shut the isolation valve, and wait for morning.
This is a weekly call. Bring the village, the street, and what you see: dry strip, geyser, humming box, blank clock. We work Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, and Irritrol parts that match what is already in the ground.
Related: see our winterization page and the Spring service area. If you are not in Spring, start at the service area list.
On the visit we run every station, not just the one you noticed. A second dry corner is cheaper to catch while the truck is already in the driveway.
Price comes before we cut pipe. If the repair is a nozzle, it stays a nozzle. If the lateral is split under a pine, we say so and show you the wet soil.
Call (832) 702-3111 or request service. Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
