How we protect your sprinkler system

When we perform a sprinkler blowout, we use the minimum amount of air pressure required for your system. We start at a lower pressure and increase only as needed to remove water from the lines.

  • We use care around older pipe and fitting connections
  • We watch for clogged, damaged, or aging sprinkler heads
  • We avoid unnecessary pressure that can increase the risk of damage
  • We also winterize homes that will remain vacant over the winter

Why sprinkler blowouts matter

Water left inside sprinkler lines can freeze, expand, and crack PVC pipe, fittings, valves, and backflow components. When PVC freezes, it often creates a spiral crack that can run from coupling to coupling.

A sprinkler blowout is much less expensive than finding and repairing freeze damage after winter. The frozen pipe example shown here came from a system that was not blown out the previous fall.

Residential and commercial

We service regular residential properties, commercial systems, large acreage systems, and farm properties.

Familiar technicians

You can rely on people who become familiar with your property instead of a different subcontractor every year.

Vacant home winterization

If a home will remain vacant during winter, we can drain the water heater, remove water from toilets, and blow out water lines in the home.
