The Importance of Professional Sprinkler Winterization

A sprinkler system is an investment and can be very useful for many years to come. When it is properly maintained and working, a sprinkler system is easy, convenient, and effective. It can be maintained with relatively little effort. That is why sprinkler winterization is such an important practice. All it takes is a phone call to your landscaping and sprinkler partner, Lawn Sprinklers of St. Louis. Without it, the water trapped in your pipes can freeze in the winter and cause significant, irreversible damage to your system. Sprinkler winterization prevents this type of devastation and ensures that your system is prepared to keep your yard properly nourished when spring arrives.

Just as it is dangerous to forego annual sprinkler winterization, it can also be dangerous to attempt to winterize your irrigation system yourself. While failing to clear all the water out of your sprinkler system before temperatures start dropping below freezing can be disastrous for both your yard and your sprinkler system, attempting to winterize your sprinkler system on your own without professional support, training, or equipment can not only damage your sprinkler system but can also present physical dangers and hazards to your own safety.

Sprinkler Winterization Methods

There are different types of sprinkler systems used in St. Louis area homes, and certain systems may be drained and winterized using different methods. Manual draining, automatic draining, and air blowout are the three ways lawn sprinkler winterization can be done. The air blowout method is the most universally effective method of winterization, and the primary method that we practice at Lawn Sprinklers of St. Louis.

Essentially, the air blowout method of sprinkler winterization is exactly what it sounds like. We apply the use of air pressure to "blow" the water out of your system. Air is forced through all the components - valves, pipes, backflow preventers, and sprinkler heads - in each zone of your sprinkler system to get rid of all the water within.

Our professional sprinkler servicers are trained in the best techniques and practices for blowout sprinkler winterization. For example, we understand the exact pressure and amount of air we need to use. If you use too much air or too high pressure, you can damage your system. On the other hand, not enough pressure or air will not be effective.
