Commercial Irrigation System Installation

If you need to winterize a sprinkler system, we recommend relying on trained service professionals who are skilled in sprinkler system installation, repairs, and maintenance. However, here are some general winterizing tips:

1. Turn off the water supply (including the main water valve and backflow preventer)
2. Drain the system using one of three methods: manual, automatic, or blow-out
3. Inspect all components for damage
4. Insulate above-ground components
5. Turn off the irrigation system controller
6. Mark your sprinkler heads and valves for easy identification in spring

Stuck on any of the winterizing steps? Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for the winterization of your irrigation system.

While there are three standard methods for winterizing a sprinkler system, blow-out is typically the most common and recommended for a commercial or industrial irrigation system.

You may like to leave this task to trained professionals. However, we’ve included some helpful steps below:

1. Turn off the water supply
2. Attach an air compressor to the irrigation system’s mainline with a quick-connect coupling
3. Choose a safe PSI level suitable for your irrigation system
4. Blow out the zones – starting with the zone farthest away from the compressor
5. Repeat for all zones – manually activating one zone at a time
6. Blow out the sprinkler backflow preventer

How you can install a sprinkler system depends on the type you choose, its size, and location. Contact a lawn and garden irrigation system installer near you if you’re unsure. Here are some general steps to help you get started:

1. Learn more about your water supply
2. Map out your property and mark where your sprinkler heads, pipes, and control valves will go
3. Buy the irrigation supplies you need (e.g., PVC or polyethylene pipe, control valves, sprinkler heads, pipe cutter, and an automatic timer)
4. Use string and stakes to guide your sprinkler installation
5. Dig trenches and connect your pipes
6. Connect your water source to your pipes

Irrigation system costs can depend on the system you buy, how large it is, and where it will need to be installed.

If you’re getting ready to install a new above-ground or in-ground sprinkler system, request a job estimate from Mr. Rooter Plumbing. We can provide pricing for your preferred commercial or industrial sprinkler system.

When water savings and efficiency are your main priorities, it’s only natural to ask which commercial irrigation systems use the least amount of water. A commercial or industrial drip irrigation system might be right for you. They conserve water by providing plants with a slow and concentrated drip.

You might understand the benefits of having a business or home sprinkler system, but that doesn’t mean you know how to choose the best one! Mr. Rooter Plumbing can assess your business’s needs and help you select the most suitable irrigation drip system or sprinkler irrigation system.

The following factors may also help with the decision-making process:

• The landscape – assess the size and shape of the area, your soil type, and your plants
• Water source and pressure – check the reliability and availability of your water source and measure the water pressure
• System type and features – choose from different sprinkler system types based on the needs of your landscape
• Water conservation and efficiency – whether you want to save water and how important water conservation is
• Maintenance and durability – some systems are easier to maintain than others, with better parts availability and high-quality components that last the distance
• Your budget – how much do you want to spend on a commercial irrigation system?
• Current and future needs – do you anticipate having the same garden and lawn maintenance needs in the future, or will you upgrade or expand?

Every commercial premise is different, with business owners having different wants and needs. As a result, there’s no one-size-fits-all garden and lawn irrigation system. You can install and upgrade all manner of sprinkler systems, such as:

• Overhead Sprinklers - Distribute water through a network of pipes and spray heads. Overhead sprinklers cover a large area and are suitable for large landscapes, lawns, and gardens.
• Impact Sprinklers - Impact sprinklers have rotating arms and spray water in circular patterns. They suit large landscapes and agricultural fields and are known for their durability.
• Pop-Up Sprinklers - Do you want a hidden yard sprinkler system for your business? Talk to your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing about pop-up sprinklers. These sprinkler systems are hidden underground and pop up when in use.
• Surface Drip Irrigation System - If you have water restrictions in your area or value efficiency, talk to Mr. Rooter Plumbing about a surface drip irrigation system. These systems deliver water to the base of your plants through tubes and emitters. They are popular in gardens, row crops, and vineyards.
• Subsurface Drip Irrigation - While similar to surface drip irrigation systems, subsurface drip irrigation systems feature tubing that is buried beneath the soil for reduced water evaporation. Such systems are ideal for landscaped areas, crops, and gardens.
• Micro-Sprinklers - Micro-sprinklers are suitable for grounds where precision watering is required. These sprinkler systems deliver a fine mist of water over a small area.
• Bubblers - If you have a landscaped area with trees or shrubs, inquire about bubblers. This commercial irrigation system delivers a stream of water directly to the root zone of a plant.
• Automatic Irrigation Systems - An automatic sprinkler system with smart irrigation controllers may be right for your business if you want a specific watering schedule combined with efficiency and water savings.
