If you live in Coeur d’Alene or anywhere in North Idaho, blowing out your sprinkler system is a must before freezing temps hit.
Why waiting too long is risky
Once freezing temps arrive, it only takes one night of hard frost to cause damage to your irrigation system. Homeowners often assume they have more time than they do, but North Idaho weather can shift quickly — and underground lines don’t stand a chance against expanding ice.
What factors affect your timing?
Your exposure, elevation, and even shade coverage can all affect how quickly your yard is at risk. If your system sits in a lower elevation or has poorly insulated lines, the margin for error shrinks. It’s always safer to schedule early and cancel than to be left scrambling when the forecast dips below freezing.
Can I do it myself?
While some homeowners attempt DIY blowouts with shop vacs or small compressors, this is often not enough pressure to clear every zone. Incomplete blowouts leave residual water and can void warranties. Professionals use high-volume, regulated air systems that clear the lines safely and completely.
Final Thoughts
Booking your sprinkler blowout early helps you avoid the rush, the frost, and expensive repair bills in the spring. It’s a small investment with a big payoff.
