That Mist Is a Reminder: Winterize Your Sprinkler System Before the Freeze
A professional sprinkler blowout uses compressed air to remove water from irrigation lines before winter. Here is what mountain homeowners need to know before freezing weather arrives.
The mist rising from these sprinklers is fall maintenance in action. A professional sprinkler blowout uses compressed air to remove water from irrigation lines before winter.
Why does your irrigation system need winterizing?
Turning off the controller does not empty the pipes. Water left inside can freeze, expand, and damage irrigation lines, valves, and sprinkler heads. Across Vail, Breckenridge, Aspen, and Snowmass, schedule winterization before freezing weather arrives.
Who should blow out your sprinklers?
Hire a qualified irrigation or landscape company that offers sprinkler blowouts and brings an air compressor sized for your system. Proper airflow and controlled pressure matter. Excessive pressure can damage components. Ask the company to winterize the backflow assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions, too.
A small step now. A lot less trouble later.
Book your irrigation company before the freeze. Disconnect garden hoses and know where your home's main water shutoff is.
