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.
