We use compressed air to blow the remaining water out of your irrigation lines, valves, and heads, then shut down the system for the season. Any water left in those lines expands when it freezes, which cracks pipes, splits valves and damages your backflow preventer.

Preparing your irrigation system for winter is essential to help you avoid damage and ensure a smooth start-up come springtime. Water left in the pipes can add up to costly repairs. Repairs typically start around $200 for a cracked lateral line and climb from there. Cracked valves, split pipes and a damaged backflow preventer can push a single freeze event past $1,500. Winterization costs a fraction of that.

Most residential systems take between 30 minutes to an hour. You don't need to be home, as long as we can access your system.

Draining it manually leaves water in the lines, and most home air compressors don't produce the volume needed to clear them. Too much pressure damages fittings and heads, too little leaves water behind. The equipment is the reason this is a professional service.
