Irrigation Startup Services in Chesterfield & St. Louis County

Why Schedule an Irrigation Startup?

A proper irrigation startup is more than just turning the sprinklers back on. It’s about protecting your investment and setting your property up for success. Here’s why homeowners and businesses across Chesterfield and St. Louis County rely on Dowco:

• Address Winter Damage
  Cold Missouri winters can cause hidden damage like cracked pipes, broken sprinkler heads, or frozen valves. During startup, our technicians carefully inspect your system to catch these issues early, saving you from expensive repairs later.
• Ensure Early Lawn Hydration
  Spring is a critical time for new root growth and plant development. By starting your irrigation system early, you give your lawn and garden the hydration they need to bounce back quickly after winter dormancy.
• Optimize System Performance
  Even small misalignments or valve issues can lead to wasted water and uneven coverage. Our team fine-tunes your system during startup, ensuring efficient water distribution that keeps your property healthy while reducing water waste.
• Stay Ahead of the Curve
  Scheduling early means avoiding the busy-season rush. Instead of waiting weeks for repairs in the summer heat, your system will already be up and running, ready to handle whatever the season brings.

Our irrigation startup process covers everything your system needs to transition from winter to spring. Services include:
