A sprinkler blowout is a winterization process that uses compressed air to clear all water from your irrigation system, including pipes, sprinkler heads, and valves. This is critical to preventing freeze damage during Utah's cold winters.

Utah experiences freezing temperatures during the winter months. Water left in your irrigation system can freeze, expand, and cause costly damage, such as cracked pipes, broken valves, and damaged sprinkler heads. A proper blowout protects your system from these risks.

The best time to schedule a sprinkler blowout in Utah is during the fall, before temperatures consistently drop below freezing. This is typically between late September and early November. Scheduling early ensures your system is winterized before any freezing temperatures arrive.

While it’s possible to attempt a blowout yourself, it requires specialized equipment such as a very large and powerful air compressor and knowledge to avoid damaging your system. Improper techniques can result in broken sprinkler heads, valves, or pipes. Hiring professionals like S&S Sprinklers & Landscaping ensures a safe and thorough blowout.

If you skip a blowout, any water left in your system can freeze during the winter, causing pipes to burst and sprinkler heads or valves to crack. These repairs are significantly more expensive and time-consuming than a simple seasonal blowout.

The process typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of zones and the size of your system. Larger or more complex systems may take longer.
