The bookend routes
Startup and winterization — the two compressed weeks the year hinges on.
Zaras for Irrigation
Startup and winterization routes, backflow testing, and mid-season repairs.
Startup waits on the last hard freeze and winterization beats the first one, so the season’s two ends compress into a handful of route-dense weeks — with repairs filling the middle and a compliance test the city tracks on its own clock. The list is the asset, and it has to be ready before the freeze date arrives.
What carries season to season: the startup list zone maps last blowout’s pressures.
A startup route, a backflow certification, a controller upgrade quoted on the same visit — the schedule for the tech, the history for the office, one thread for the account.
Startup route, eighteen systems
Last October’s blowout notes say which zone had the cracked head and which backflow is a PVB.
Backflow certification
Test scheduled off the city’s cycle, certificate filed against the address, not a glovebox.
Irrigation money comes from two engines — the two compressed weeks that turn the book on and off, and the repair-and-compliance work that fills the months between them. Zaras runs both from the same record.
Startup and winterization — the two compressed weeks the year hinges on.
Summer dispatch and the compliance line that pays between the bookends.
The record, not the whiteboard — every system from first call to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.
Startup and winterization route lists — built from last season, ready before the freeze date moves.
Per-system zone and controller records — zones, heads, and controller programs attached to the address.
Backflow type flags and test certificates — PVB and RP devices flagged so the wrong procedure never touches them.
Mid-season repair dispatch — broken heads and coverage calls logged against the system's own history.
Install and upgrade estimates from a service visit — priced on the same call, not a second appointment.
Commercial and HOA accounts — multi-site and property records billed on the same terms as the route book.
NET-terms billing — commercial and HOA accounts invoiced on their own schedule.
Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks sync — the visit closes the loop without leaving the operating record.
Start up → repair → test → blow out — every system, one record.
