Sprinkler Winterization – Protect your sprinkler system from freezing.

If you live in the north part of the country, one necessary sprinkler maintenance that most people don’t have the equipment to do themselves, is winterizing the sprinkler system. Sometimes, before your sprinkler contractor can get to your house, there will be a hard freeze called for on the evening news. When this happens, you can prevent a very costly repair, by protecting the backflow preventer and parts that are above ground, usually on the side of your house. This is easily done, by turning off the water to your sprinkler system and manually turning on one zone. This will […]

If you live in the north part of the country, one necessary sprinkler maintenance that most people don’t have the equipment to do themselves, is winterizing the sprinkler system. Sometimes, before your sprinkler contractor can get to your house, there will be a hard freeze called for on the evening news. When this happens, you can prevent a very costly repair, by protecting the backflow preventer and parts that are above ground, usually on the side of your house. This is easily done, by turning off the water to your sprinkler system and manually turning on one zone. This will relieve the pressure on the backflow preventer. Then take a blanket and drape it over the backflow preventer or anti-siphon valve and letting it hang to the ground. This will prevent the pipe and sprinkler parts from freezing and cracking. Your sprinkler heads and lines that are in the ground should be kept warm enough by the ground. This is just temporary until you can your sprinkler lines blown out properly.

You can blow out/winterize a sprinkler system yourself

Do It Yourself Lawn Sprinkler Repair

Welcome to my website. My name is Jarrett and I have been a landscape and lawn irrigation contractor for 11 years, and I have over 17 years experience repairing and maintaining sprinkler systems.

When I looked on the internet, I was amazed at how hard it was to find detailed, accurate, and up to date instructions.  Some of the stuff I saw wasn’t even […]

Welcome to my website. My name is Jarrett and I have been a landscape and lawn irrigation contractor for 11 years, and I have over 17 years experience repairing and maintaining sprinkler systems. The economy has been hard on everyone, and I started thinking about the cost of repairs to my customers. So I wanted a way to educate people on how to fix the most common sprinkler repairs. When I looked on the internet, I was amazed at how hard it was to find detailed, accurate, and up to date instructions.  Some of the stuff I saw wasn’t even legal, (as in against code.) If I looked long enough, I found a lot of written instruction, but it took me a long time to find it and I personally learn better by seeing.

I am working on a video course of the most common lawn sprinkler repairs. I started working on it in March, and I have recorded and rerecorded countless hours of video. But we are getting it narrowed down to the most important content and putting on the finishing touches. You can check out whats covered by going to our home page or clicking
