Quick answers on coverage, seasons, smart watering and repairs. Still wondering something? We're happy to help.
What areas does Clearwater Irrigation serve?
We install and service in-ground sprinkler systems across Innisfil, Barrie, Orillia, Kawartha Lakes, Angus and the surrounding South-Central Ontario communities. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call and we'll let you know.
When should I have my sprinkler system winterized?
In Ontario, sprinkler systems should be blown out and winterized in the fall before the first hard frost — usually around October — to keep pipes and valves from freezing and cracking over winter. We book up fast in the fall, so it's worth scheduling early.
Do smart controllers actually save water?
Yes. Wi-Fi controllers like the Hydro-Rain HRC400 and Hunter Hydrawise watch the weather and automatically skip or shorten watering when it rains, so your lawn only gets what it needs — healthier grass, less waste, and full control from your phone.
Can you fix a system you didn't install?
Absolutely. We repair broken sprinkler heads, leaking valves and busted pipes on existing systems no matter who installed them, and can add zones or heads to fix dry spots and improve coverage.
How much does an irrigation system cost?
Every property is different, so we provide a free on-site quote based on your lawn size, layout and the number of zones you need. Reach out and we'll come take a look — no obligation.
When is the best time to install a sprinkler system?
Spring and summer are the most popular times, but systems can be installed throughout the growing season. Setting up in spring means you enjoy automatic, even watering all season long.
