When the winter season approaches, it’s important to winterize your irrigation system to protect your pipes, sprinkler heads, and property. One part of this includes turning off the water supply to your irrigation system and draining the pipes, but this doesn’t fully remove all the water from the system. Any water stuck in your pipes could later freeze and expand, causing many issues for your pipes.
If you want to avoid any potential issues with your irrigation system, we highly recommend scheduling a sprinkler blowout to remove any leftover water from the pipes. Here is what you can expect during a sprinkler blowout:
- Turn off the water. Before we can safely perform a sprinkler blowout, we need to turn off the water supply to your sprinklers and drain out as much water as possible. This way, we can keep your pipes and sprinkler safe as we perform our services.
- Utilize specialized equipment. Next, we’ll use an air compressor to blow highly pressurized air into your pipes to force out any remaining water. We are highly trained to use this specialized equipment and always take the necessary safety precautions to keep your pipes and property safe as we work. We know just the right amount of air pressure to use to perform the sprinkler blowout safely yet effectively without causing any potential damage to your pipes or sprinkler heads.
- Remove all traces of water. We will take the time to ensure that all traces of water have been removed from your sprinkler system during our sprinkler blowout service. You can rest assured that your irrigation system will be thoroughly protected throughout the cooler winter months and will be ready to use once springtime comes around again.
