As the temperature drops and the leaves fall from the trees, it’s time to prepare for the winter. For many, this includes buying gifts, hanging decorations, and taking pictures for the family Christmas card.
But many people forget the importance of protecting your irrigation system against the winter weather. If you don’t prep your sprinklers for freezing temperatures, then you can cause serious damage to your irrigation system.
Fortunately, at Lifestyle Outdoor, we have the training to help ensure that your sprinklers will be safe until spring. Schedule a meeting with our team and read more below to understand the benefits of a sprinkler blowout in Kansas City.
What is a sprinkler blowout?
In Kansas City, we offer a variety of options for lawn care and maintenance. But in the weeks and months leading up to winter, few services are more important than a sprinkler blowout.
During a sprinkler blowout, an experienced professional blows compressed air through your sprinkler system. This ensures that your sprinkler system is completely free of moisture before the air gets too cold. Any water left in the pipes as temperatures drop could potentially freeze and cause damage to your lawn irrigation.
Our team members have experience in irrigation maintenance, so don’t try this yourself. With improper equipment or technique, you could end up damaging your sprinkler system.
What happens if you don’t perform a sprinkler blowout?
You may think that a sprinkler blowout seems unnecessary. After all, can’t you just stop using the sprinkler during the winter months? While you absolutely shouldn’t use your irrigation system in freezing weather, that alone isn’t enough to prevent damage.
If you don’t perform a sprinkler blowout before the air reaches freezing temperatures, then remaining moisture in the systems could freeze and cause the pipes to burst or damage the sprinkler heads. Installing an irrigation system requires a lot of time and effort, so proper maintenance always pays off.
