Water left in buried lines can freeze and crack them.See how a blowout works
Before the first hard freeze
The water’s off. The lines are still full.
Shutting off the supply stops new water coming in. It doesn’t empty what’s already sitting in the pipes, valves and heads under your lawn. When that water freezes it expands, and a cracked line often doesn’t show itself until you turn the system back on in spring.
01
Turning off the timer isn’t enough.
The timer only stops the watering schedule. The water stays in the lines until something pushes it out.
02
A blowout pushes it out.
We send compressed air through each zone in turn, driving the water out through the sprinkler heads.
One job, one price
You know the price before anyone shows up.

Tap water or ditch water
Whatever feeds your sprinklers, we blow them out.
In the Grand Valley, the water in your sprinklers doesn’t always come from the same place as the water in your kitchen. We winterize both kinds of system.
- Domestic water systems
Sprinklers that run off your household water line. We shut off the supply to the sprinklers, then clear every zone.
- Irrigation water systems
Sprinklers fed by canal or ditch water from an irrigation company. The company ends the season; the water already in your lines stays until it’s blown out.
How the blowout goes
Three steps, zone by zone.
Here’s what happens in your yard on the day.
02 / Blow out
We clear each zone in turn.
A specialized compressor hooks up to your system and pushes air through one zone at a time until the heads stop spitting water.
03 / Look over
We tell you what we noticed.
While the system runs, we watch for visible problems like a broken head or a leaking valve, so you hear about it now instead of in spring.
