Sprinkler blowouts · Fall booking open
Blow out your sprinklers before the freeze
The first hard freeze usually reaches the Denver area in early to mid October. Water left in your lines can crack pipes, heads, and the backflow preventer. Book a blowout now and start spring with a system that works.

Why it matters
Turning it off isn't the same as emptying it
Water stays in the lines
Shutting off the controller doesn't empty the pipes. Water sits in every zone, the valves, and the backflow preventer.
It freezes and expands
One hard Front Range night is enough. Ice pushes on pipe walls, fittings, and sprinkler heads until something gives.
You find out in spring
Cracks stay hidden until you turn the water back on in May, and then it's soggy spots, geysers, and a repair bill.
The visit
What a blowout covers
Every zone, every time, in the same order, so nothing is left holding water.
- 1
Shut off the water
We close the irrigation supply so no new water enters the system.
- 2
Blow out every zone
A compressor pushes air through each zone, one at a time, until the heads spray only mist.
- 3
Drain the backflow preventer
We open its valves so no water is left sitting in the most expensive part to replace.
- 4
Set the controller for winter
The controller goes to off or rain mode, so it can't try to run on a frozen system.
- 5
Note anything to fix
Broken heads or leaking valves get written down, so they're handled at spring start-up.

Questions
Before you book
- Do I need to be home?
- Not always. Tell us in your request where the controller and water shutoff are, and whether you'll be there. We'll confirm the details when we reply.
- How long does it take?
- It depends on how many zones you have. Most homes are done in a single short visit.
- What does it cost?
- $95 covers up to 8 zones, which is most homes. Each extra zone is $5. First-time customers take $10 off, and it's shown on your written estimate before we start.
- It already froze once. Is it too late?
- Book anyway. An early light freeze doesn't always do damage, and the sooner the lines are empty, the less risk you carry into the hard freezes.
Get on the schedule before the cold does
