Freeze Protection & Spring Start-Up in Dripping Springs

Dripping Springs lots are larger and often on well water. Well grit clogs emitters and scores diaphragms. We flush and filter before replacing parts. Native landscaping on drip uses different runtimes than St. Augustine turf.

Austin does not get a Denver winter, but a February freeze still splits backflow bodies and above-grade PVC. We wrap, drain where it helps, and come back in spring to run every station and replace what cracked. This page is the freeze protection & spring start-up path for Dripping Springs.

What we look for

• Forecast below freezing overnight
• Cracked backflow after a cold snap
• A station that ran all winter and now will not
• Need a spring start-up before the first mow
