When to plan
Request fall availability before freezing weather. October and early November are planning windows, not guaranteed safe dates. Your irrigation shutoff, forecast, access and route availability determine the appointment.
Zone count unknown? You can still request service. Price and appointment are confirmed after your request.

Winterization basics
What is a sprinkler blowout?
A sprinkler blowout removes water from irrigation lines using compressed air. It is one part of preparing the system for freezing weather. Turning off the water supply alone does not remove trapped water from every component.
People also call this sprinkler winterization, irrigation winterization, or a fall sprinkler shutdown. The important part of your request is the actual equipment and work needed: lawn zones, drip circuits, shutoff, controller, backflow assembly and any pump or filter.
Select the city where the property is located for local preparation details. Service-area coverage does not promise an available appointment at every address. We confirm your scope, price and timing after reviewing the request.
How the quote is scoped
Count irrigation zones, not individual sprinkler heads. Mention more than one connection, inaccessible equipment or known damage so those details can be addressed before the visit.

Agree on what your winterization includes
Zones and connections
Identify every lawn and drip circuit to be covered. Separate connections can require additional work.
Shutoff and controller
Agree on who handles the private water shutoff, controller access and the final seasonal settings.
Backflow, pumps and filters
Tell us what is installed. These components may need separate draining or preparation according to their manufacturers.
Existing faults
Disclose leaks, broken heads or inactive zones. Assessment and repair work need their own approval.
Access and arrival
Confirm gates, pets, indoor equipment and who must be present. A request is not a confirmed booking.
Completion details
Ask which systems were serviced and whether any inaccessible or damaged components remain unresolved.
Equipment reference: Hunter Industries winterization guidance. The method must suit the installed components; a blowout is not a guarantee against every freeze-related failure.
FAQ
Sprinkler winterization questions
Are sprinkler blowouts and sprinkler winterization the same service?
A blowout uses compressed air to remove water from irrigation lines. Winterization is the broader preparation for freezing weather and can also involve the shutoff, controller, backflow assembly, pump or drip components. Confirm the complete scope for your equipment.
When should I schedule a sprinkler blowout?
Request fall availability before freezing conditions. Supplier shutoff dates and forecasts vary. Do not treat a calendar month or a neighbor’s appointment as a guarantee that your system can safely wait.
How much does it cost to winterize a sprinkler system?
Zone count, separate connections, access and additional work affect the quote. The estimate on this page is a planning example from our current estimator. Confirm the final price and included work before accepting the appointment.
Can I get a quote without knowing my zone count?
Yes. Select “I am not sure” in the request form. Share what you know about the controller and connections. The provider can confirm the count before finalizing the scope; lawn square footage is not needed for this request.
Are sprinkler repairs or backflow tests included?
Do not assume they are included. Mention faults and backflow equipment in the request, and agree separately on repairs, testing or reporting. A blowout request does not authorize those additional services.
Can a small compressor or simply draining the system replace a professional blowout?
The appropriate method depends on the system. Hunter’s guidance calls for adequate air volume and component-specific pressure limits, and warns against forcing compressed air through backflow devices or pumps. Have a qualified provider follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
