Question 1

Why is a sprinkler blowout necessary if the water has been shut off?

Accepted Answer

Turning off the water doesn’t remove residual water inside pipes and heads. A blowout clears this water to prevent freezing damage.

Question 2

Do I need to be home during the sprinkler blowout?

Accepted Answer

No. As long as we can access your sprinkler system components like valves and controllers, you don’t need to be present. Please allow gate access and secure yours pets.

Question 3

Why shouldn’t I choose the cheapest sprinkler blowout?

Accepted Answer

An improperly completed blowout can leave water behind or damage your system, potentially leading to expensive spring repairs. J.A.E. Sprinkler Services provides experienced professionals, commercial-grade equipment, careful clearing of every zone, and reliable communication from scheduling through completion. A lower price may save a few dollars today, but quality and reliability can save you considerably more down the road.

Question 4

What should I do after my sprinkler blowout?

Accepted Answer

Leave your irrigation water turned off and do not run the system again until spring. Keep your sprinkler controller (clock or timer) turned off.

Question 5

Can a blowout guarantee no freeze damage?

Accepted Answer

While it greatly reduces risk, no winterization can guarantee protection against all freeze-related issues.

Question 6

Are there other winter preparations I should consider?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Disconnect hoses, drain outdoor faucets, winterize fountains, remove leaf cover, and prepare plants for cold weather.
