Sprinkler Winterization & Blowouts
A proper compressed-air blowout that clears every line before the first hard freeze.

Why winterization matters in Cincinnati
Water left in your sprinkler lines expands when it freezes — and that's what cracks PVC, splits valve bodies, and ruins backflow assemblies. A single skipped blowout can turn into hundreds of dollars of spring repairs. Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky winters swing below freezing hard enough that every in-ground system needs a proper compressed-air blowout each fall.
Do it right — with enough air, not too much
- Compressed-air blowout zone-by-zone — the only reliable way to clear buried lines.
- Controlled pressure so we clear the water without blasting your heads apart.
- Backflow protected — we clear the preventer and leave it set for winter.
- Priced by system size — we quote your blowout up front, larger systems a bit more, always confirmed first.
Winterization is included in our Annual Maintenance Plan along with spring start-up — the easiest way to keep your system protected year-round without remembering to book each season.

We blow out every zone
We shut off the supply and push compressed air through each zone until the lines run dry.

Your heads, valves, and backflow are cleared and safe until spring. We'll remind you for start-up.

Frequently asked questions
When should I winterize my sprinklers in Cincinnati?
Mid-October through late November, before the first hard freeze. Aim to have it done by mid-November — once overnight lows sit in the 20s, water can already start freezing in shallow lines.
How much does a sprinkler blowout cost?
We quote your blowout up front based on system size and confirm the total before we start. Standard residential systems are quick; larger systems are a bit more. Ask for a free estimate.
Can't I just drain it myself?
Manual and automatic drains rarely clear buried lateral lines completely, and low heads still hold water. A compressed-air blowout is the only method that reliably empties the whole system — which is why it's worth having done right.
What happens if I skip winterization?
Trapped water can freeze and crack pipes, valves, and the backflow preventer — repairs that typically cost far more than the blowout. It's cheap insurance.
Do you remind me each year?
Yes. We tag your system and text you every fall when it's time to book — and maintenance-plan members are scheduled automatically.
