Storm season is upon us!

Storm season is here so that means its time to get those sprinkler systems blown out. If you live in a state where the weather goes below what they consider “freezing” then blowing out your sprinklers is a must! The reasoning behind blowing out your sprinklers is to prevent damage and cracking to your pipes as well as the components. Blowing out your sprinklers is the absolute best way to ensure they are dry and ready for the fast-approaching winter months.

If you forget or decide not to blow out your sprinklers you can be in for a world of damage to not only your irrigation system but also your lawn. If the water ends up freezing inside your pipes, valves or sprinkler heads you run the risk of completely destroying the system because when the water freezes it will expand the pipes and eventually burst. That will cause a remarkable amount of damage in your sprinkler system.  Once the warm weather comes back it can then dethaw and flood your yard and possibly get into the cracks of the foundation of your home.
