A
winterization
or (blow out) involves our company arriving at your home with an industrial-grade air compressor. Upon our arrival, we will connect our main air hose to your outside irrigation connection. During the 15-30 minute process, we will manually access each valve from the valve boxes installed outside of your home.
We suggest that the
homeowner
verify that the valve boxes are visible and accessible to our team
. The homeowner must first verify that the main irrigation valve is shut off and the timer is in the "off" position. If that main valve is not shut off or the ball valve is failed (and is allowing even a drip of water through) then the winterization process can not be completed. In the case of a failed ball valve, our company or a licensed professional will need to replace said ball valve before we can return to complete the winterization.
To prepare for winterization
:
- Verify the valve box is visible for our irrigation specialists
- Shut off the main irrigation valve
- Put the timer in the "off" position
