You will have to winterize your sprinkler system. When spring finally comes, getting the costly repairs done will be a costly affair. Freezing temperatures can cause harm to irrigation pipes and components, which may lead to expensive fixes. At MW Lawn and Landscape, we have a professional blowout sprinkler system service meant to keep your system safe from cruel winter months but will be in excellent condition throughout the year.
MW Lawn and Landscape removes water from your sprinkler system to prevent it from freezing and causing potential damage. This preventive maintenance leaves your irrigation system ready to work properly when warmer weather rolls back in. Therefore, here is what we’ll discuss, including exactly what a sprinkler system blowout is, why you need it, and how we can help through professional services.
What is a sprinkler system blowout?
A sprinkler system blowout consists of draining all of the water in the irrigation piping, valves, and sprinklers so that during the winter water will not remain in the pipelines, valves, and sprinkler heads. As water freezes and expands, frozen water will crack pipes, and valves, but cause tremendous, expensive damage when this occurs.
The Role of Blowouts in Maintaining Sprinkler Systems Effectively
Regular blowouts play an important role in extending the lifespan of your sprinkler system. Blowouts prevent costly damage to pipes and components by removing water before freezing temperatures hit. This essential maintenance ensures your system operates efficiently season after season. Some problems are serious and include;
Cracked Pipes
Water freezes, expanding inside the pipes, and they tend to bust, leak, and sometimes be costly to repair.
Damaged Valves and Sprinkler Heads
Frozen water destroys some parts. It makes the system useless.
Higher Repair Costs
Replacing parts compared to prevention maintenance.
Understanding the Mechanism Behind Sprinkler System Blowouts
Our detailed process at MW Lawn and Landscape ensures our team properly winterizes your system:
Shutting off the Water Supply
We turn off the main water supply connected to the sprinkler system.
Removal of Pressure
Pressure is removed from the system to prevent damage during the blowout.
Use of High-Pressure Air Compressor
We connect to the system a specialized air compressor for blowing out water inside the pipes and their components.
Check the System
After cleaning the water, we check your system for possible problems.
Seal and Protect
Lastly, we ensure all valves and components are tightened for winter.
