Winterize Sprinkler System

The sprinkler blowout process in the fall is very important to winterize sprinkler systems.  A professional sprinkler system winterization prevents costly repairs and makes sure your irrigation system is ready to start-up in the spring.

Winterizing your lawn sprinkler system involves removing any water from the pipes, so they cannot expand or crack and cause damage when freezing temperature hit.
