Why Winterize Your Sprinkler System?

Montana winters are hard on irrigation systems. Water left in the lines expands when it freezes, and that can:

  • Crack pipes
  • Split sprinkler heads
  • Damage valves and backflow devices

A professional blowout clears that water out before the ground freezes. Your sprinkler system is protected all winter and ready to go in the spring.

What’s Included in a Missoula Sprinkler Blowout

  • Shut off the water to your sprinkler system
  • Blow out every zone with compressed air at a safe pressure for your system
  • Drain the valves and backflow assembly to relieve pressure

When to Schedule Your Blowout

In the Missoula area, blowouts should be done before the first hard freeze. That’s typically mid-October through early November. The fall schedule fills up quickly, so we recommend booking early.

Blowout FAQs

When should I get my sprinklers blown out in Missoula?

Before the first hard freeze, usually mid-October through early November. Booking early gets you a spot before the fall rush.

Can I winterize my sprinkler system myself?

Blowouts require an air compressor with enough volume to clear the lines and careful pressure control to avoid damaging parts. Most homeowners have a professional handle it.

What happens if I don’t winterize my sprinklers?

Water left in the lines can freeze and crack pipes, heads, and valves. Those repairs usually show up at spring startup.

Do you winterize systems installed by other companies?

Yes. We service all systems, regardless of who installed them.
