Water left sitting in your sprinkler pipes over winter will freeze and expand, cracking pipes, fittings, and heads. A single freeze event can cause hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damage โ all of which is completely preventable with a proper blowout before the cold sets in.
Our winterization service uses a commercial air compressor to push every last drop of water out of your system โ from the main line all the way through each individual zone and sprinkler head.
โ ๏ธ Don't Wait Too Long
In Cedar City, the first hard freeze typically arrives in late October or early November. We get busy fast during this window โ call early to guarantee a spot on the schedule before the rush hits.
What's Included in Our Winterization Service
- Shutoff of the main irrigation water supply
- Compressed air blowout of every zone in your system
- Verification that all heads have fully drained
- Controller set to off or rain delay mode for winter
- Quick visual inspection of heads and valves while we're there
- Advice on anything that needs attention before spring startup
When Should I Winterize in Cedar City?
We recommend scheduling your blowout in October, before the first hard freeze. Cedar City's elevation (about 5,800 feet) means temperatures can drop below freezing earlier than many people expect.
Can I Winterize My Sprinklers Myself?
Technically yes, but it requires a commercial-grade air compressor and doing it incorrectly can leave water in the pipes or damage heads from over-pressurization. A professional blowout is inexpensive insurance against a much larger repair bill in spring.
