Irrigation Startup & Winterization Checklist Pack

Irrigation is a two-peak business: spring startups and fall blowouts. The companies that win those peaks run tight per-zone checklists and book both visits as one annual plan. This pack gives you both field checklists, current pricing, and the plan math.

What's inside

2026 pricing: startups, blowouts, backflow tests, head and valve replacement
8-step spring startup checklist with zone-by-zone findings card
8-step fall winterization checklist with correct blowout PSI by pipe type
Annual-plan pricing: startup + blowout bundled
On-the-spot repair pricing to monetize the startup visit

Quick questions

What PSI should I blow out at?

45-50 PSI for residential poly, 50-80 for PVC, zones cycled twice each. The checklist has the full sequence, including never dead-heading the compressor.

Why bundle startup and blowout?

The annual plan guarantees two visits, a backflow test, and first call for repairs. At 60% plan penetration your two-peak cash-flow curve flattens and revenue per address roughly doubles.

How operators use this

Build a real price book

Use the worksheets to set base rates, minimum charges, and add-on pricing so every quote follows the same system.

Find the jobs that lose money

The margin-per-crew-hour math is designed to show which job types quietly underperform, so you can reprice or drop them.

Put it on every truck

Print the checklists and give one to each crew so the same standards apply on every job.
