NationScapes will provide winterization services for your sprinkler system. This includes:

  • Deactivation of primary water supply
  • Sprinkler blowout to remove water from the lines and protect against freezing damage to the system

What’s Included in Our Sprinkler Blowout Services

Necessary Maintenance

Sprinkler blowout is a necessary step in maintaining your sprinkler system. At NationScapes, we include winterization in all our annual sprinkler care programs. In addition, we can perform this service a la carte. Simply call 303-934-9130 to schedule it. (Note: call ahead. Demand is high when a freeze is imminent, and we give scheduling preference to our annual sprinkler care customers.)

Our sprinkler blowout services include:

  • Deactivation of water supply
  • Removal of damaging water from:
    • Backflow
    • Main line
    • Lateral lines
    • Manifold
    • Valves
    • Heads
  • Warranty against freeze damage to sprinkler

We start by assessing your sprinkler system so that we understand where the water is coming from, and how to shut it all off. Then we will remove the water from your system. In most cases, we will blow out your sprinkler to remove water. However, some sprinkler systems are not designed for a sprinkler blowout. In these cases, we will drain it appropriately. We might recommend retrofitting your system to allow blowouts in the future.

Why Get a Sprinkler Blowout

When water freezes, it expands. This expansion is powerful, capable of pushing out with tremendous force. Freezing water can split huge boulders off the side of a mountain – it has no trouble damaging the components of your sprinkler system.

Failing to clear the water out of your sprinkler system can cause significant damage to the:

  • Sprinkler backflow valve
  • Main sprinkler line
  • Lateral sprinkler lines
  • Sprinkler manifold
  • Sprinkler valves
  • Sprinkler heads
  • Interior plumbing

Drain The Water

Frozen water can damage any part of the sprinkler that it passes through. Failure to properly drain the water from your system can lead to expensive repairs that require digging up some of the sprinkler lines and replacing damaged components. In some cases, you may not be able to find compatible parts, requiring you to replace more than the damaged components.

Avoid Costly Repairs

There’s also the potential that frozen water in the sprinkler lines could lead to plumbing damage inside your house. When this happens, you can have water leaking in your home. Plumbing damage could cause serious issues, up to and including a flooded basement. To avoid this, we recommend working with a professional who can shut water off in the winter and properly monitor the procedure of turning the water on in the spring.

Perils of DIY Sprinkler Blowouts

Some people can handle doing their own sprinkler blowouts. However, people without the equipment, experience, and expertise to handle the job properly should hire a professional for this important job.

If you attempt a sprinkler blowout, you might cause:

  • Damage to your sprinkler system
  • Damage to your plumbing
  • Freezing damage from inadequate water removal
  • Injury to yourself and others

Not all sprinkler systems are designed for a blowout. If you try to blow out water from a sprinkler not set up for it, you could damage it badly. In addition, you need to know how many cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air to deliver and at what pressure for your system. Otherwise, you might cause the sprinkler lines, valves, and heads to break. Too much pressure delivered in the wrong way can even damage the pipes in your house.

If you fail to remove enough water from the system, freezing can still damage components. Improper blowout might even make this more likely because it can concentrate water in parts of the system.

It’s also possible to cause injury to yourself and others with an improper sprinkler blowout. Parts of the sprinkler system can come apart, sending pieces flying at high speeds.
