Commercial Fall Winterization

Winterizing sprinkler systems is necessary in freezing climates, even for supposed self-draining systems. Removing the water from all of your pipes helps you avoid costly spring repairs.

 

A Fall Winterization consists of:

• Water is shut down to the system
• All drains are opened
• Air is pumped through the lines to clear out all the water. This is done by using a compressor
• Clock (timer, controller) is turned off to prevent winter damage

We offer two types of Fall Winterization.

 

Outside:

• Customer turns off water to the sprinkler system
• Automatic Rain will blow all the water out of the outside pipes with a compressor.
• Automatic Rain will turn off the outside valves and pipes
• Customer is responsible for draining the inside faucet, if applicable.  If there is an inside drain, it will be located close to the shut off valve
• Customer is responsible for turning off the clock/timer for the winter
