Not sure when to schedule your sprinkler blowout? These warning signs mean it’s time to act.
1. Morning frost on your lawn
Once frost starts appearing, the ground is getting cold enough to freeze water in shallow pipes.
2. You’ve turned off your irrigation controller
If you’re done watering for the year, it’s time to fully winterize your system.
3. Sprinkler heads are sputtering
Inconsistent spray or sputtering could mean air or trapped water — a sign your system needs to be cleared.
4. Your neighbors are calling
If you see service trucks in your neighborhood, you’re officially in blowout season. Don’t wait and get left behind.
5. You see water pooling or leaking
Even a slow drip from a sprinkler head or valve can freeze overnight and cause major issues.
Why timing matters
Winter damage often happens underground and invisibly. By the time symptoms show up in spring, you’re looking at hundreds in repairs.
