Sprinkler Blowouts & Winterization in Tooele & Kearns
Prepare your irrigation system for freezing temperatures with a thorough blowout that helps prevent cracked pipes and costly spring repairs.
What Sprinkler Winterization & Blowouts Are
Sprinkler winterization is the process of preparing an irrigation system for freezing winter weather. A blowout uses compressed air to push remaining water out of the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads so there is little left inside to freeze, expand, and crack the system.
In Utah, where temperatures drop well below freezing, water left in an irrigation system can cause real damage over the winter. Winterizing before the first hard freeze is one of the simplest ways to protect the investment you have made in your yard.
Why Irrigation Systems Need Winter Preparation
Water expands when it freezes. When that water is trapped inside sprinkler pipes, valves, and fittings, the pressure can crack or split components that are expensive to find and fix in the spring.
Cracked Pipes & Fittings
Water left in the lines freezes and expands, which can split underground pipes and crack fittings that stay buried until spring.
Damaged Sprinkler Heads
Water trapped in heads and valves can freeze and crack them, leading to leaks and uneven coverage when the system turns back on.
Costly Spring Repairs
Damage that builds up over the winter often shows up only when the system is turned back on, when repairs are more disruptive and more expensive.
Backflow & Valve Damage
Above-ground components like backflow preventers are especially exposed to cold and can fail when water is left inside them through a hard freeze.
Who Should Consider Winterization
If your property has an in-ground irrigation system in the Tooele or Kearns area, winterization is worth scheduling before the first hard freeze.
Homeowners With Irrigation
Any homeowner with an in-ground sprinkler system benefits from a blowout before the ground freezes, protecting the system they rely on all summer.
Landlords & Rentals
Rental properties with irrigation systems need winterization too, since frozen-line damage often shows up after a tenant has moved on.
Elderly & Disabled Neighbors
We set aside part of our schedule for free or reduced-cost work for elderly, disabled, and veteran neighbors who need help winterizing their system.
Common Concerns About Frozen Sprinkler Lines
A few questions come up often when neighbors think about winterizing their irrigation systems. Here is what is generally true about each.
"I drained it, so it should be fine."
Draining alone rarely removes all the water. Low spots, valves, and heads can still hold enough water to freeze and crack a line over a long winter.
"It only freezes a few nights."
Even a few hard freezes can do real damage. Once water freezes inside a line, the expansion happens regardless of how long the cold lasts.
"My system is new, so it is protected."
Newer systems may have some cold-weather features, but most still hold water in the lines that needs to be cleared before a hard freeze.
"I will just fix it in the spring."
Spring repairs often mean digging up lines and replacing cracked parts, which is more disruptive and more expensive than a fall blowout.
The General Stages of Sprinkler Winterization
These stages describe how sprinkler winterization generally works. The exact steps we follow on your system are confirmed during the quote process.
Shut Off the Water
The main water supply to the irrigation system is turned off so no more water can enter the lines.
Drain the Lines
Standing water is drained from the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads so little remains to freeze.
Blow Out the System
Compressed air pushes remaining water out of each zone so the lines are clear before the ground freezes.
Protect the Components
Above-ground parts like valves and backflow preventers are protected against cold to help prevent cracking.
