Protect your irrigation system from costly freeze damage with our professional blowout service. We use compressed air to safely clear all water from your sprinkler lines, preventing pipes, valves, and heads from cracking during the winter months. This essential service helps extend the life of your system, avoids expensive spring repairs, and ensures everything is ready to run smoothly when the season returns.
With our Winter Warranty included, you can enjoy total peace of mind knowing your irrigation system is covered—no surprises, just reliable performance year after year.

Our irrigation startup service prepares your system for the season with full setup and inspection. We program your controller and run each zone to confirm proper operation, checking valve boxes for leaks, adjusting rotors and spray heads, and reviewing drip zones for function. Minor adjustments can be completed during the visit upon request. If repairs are needed, they can often be completed at the same time, subject to availability. Additional labour and materials are billed separately at $90 per hour, plus parts

FAQs

For winterization, follow these simple steps:
If your shut-off valve is inside the house, turn it off when you receive notification that we are coming. This valve controls water to the irrigation system, and after we blow out the system, you may need to bleed the line from inside to fully winterize. If your system uses an outside tap, we’ll turn it off upon arrival.
Set the timer to "off." Avoid unplugging the timer, as doing so will erase all programming. If you have a hose timer, remove it and bring it inside for the winter. This ensures your system is properly prepared for the colder months.

In spring, getting your irrigation system ready is simple. First, turn the water on, then test all zones using the timer to ensure each area is covered properly. Finally, program the timer to match your watering needs for the season. These steps help ensure your system is working efficiently for a healthy, thriving landscape.

If one of your irrigation valves is manually open, check the valve box. The solenoid, where the wires are attached, controls the valve. Turn it to the right to close. If you're unable to close the valve, schedule an irrigation service appointment, and we'll take care of it.
If the valve was left open after a blowout, this service is free of charge.
If the valve remains open due to wear and tear, diaphragm failure, or debris, it will be billed as a standard irrigation service.

A common issue is a broken black elbow located below the rotor or spray head. When the system is turned on, water may flow from underneath the rotor and partially through it, often due to a cracked elbow. These elbows are designed to break easily to protect more expensive parts and are not caused by the blowout process.
Common causes of broken elbows include:
Leverage from vehicles driving over the rotor or spray head
Snow shovels striking the rotor
Shifting heavy clay soils from frost
High water pressure caused by slopes or excessive PSI when turning on the system
We recommend replacing the broken black elbow with a white Schedule 40 street elbow, which is more durable and better able to withstand impact and harsh winter conditions. If you're unable to complete this repair, please contact us, and we'll fix it for you. Note that this repair is not covered under the blowout warranty.
