Why is it important to winterize irrigation systems, and what are the consequences of not doing so?

Winterizing an irrigation system is essential to prevent damage caused by freezing temperatures. When water freezes, it expands, which can crack pipes, valves, and other components. If an irrigation system is not winterized, it can lead to costly repairs or even replacement of damaged parts. Additionally, a well-maintained system will operate more efficiently and effectively in the spring, saving clients money and resources.
