Shutting Off Water Supply

The technicians will begin by shutting off the main water supply to your sprinkler system. This prevents any additional water from entering the system during the blowout process. Our team will then connect the air compressor to the mainline of your sprinkler system using the appropriate fittings.

Forces Water Out

Once the connections are secure, the technicians will gradually increase the air pressure in the system. This forces the remaining water in the pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads to be pushed out. It is crucial to remove all water from the system to prevent freezing and potential damage.

Double-Check The Entire Sprinkler System

As the air blows through the sprinkler system, the technicians will move zone by zone, ensuring that all areas are thoroughly cleared of water. We will also open any drain valves or low-point drains to facilitate the removal of water. Throughout the sprinkler winterization process, the technicians will closely monitor the pressure, ensuring it stays within safe limits to prevent any system damage.
