2025 Fall Sprinkler Winterization/Blowout Season is Underway – Get on Our List Today!
As the temperatures begin to drop across Minnesota, it’s time to prepare your irrigation system for winter. At Mr. Rain Irrigation, our 2025 fall sprinkler blowout season is officially underway! Scheduling early is the best way to avoid last-minute stress and ensure your system is fully protected before the first freeze.
Why Winterizing Your Irrigation System Matters
Minnesota winters can be harsh. If water is left inside your sprinkler lines, valves, or backflow preventer, it can freeze, expand, and cause cracks or costly damage. A professional blowout ensures your system is completely cleared of water and protected until spring. Proper winterization can save you hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars in repairs.
What We Do During a Sprinkler Blowout
-
Shut off the water supply to the irrigation system.
-
Connect a commercial-grade air compressor to the system.
-
Systematically blow out each zone with the correct amount of pressure to clear all lines without damaging pipes or heads.
-
Drain and secure the backflow preventer to prevent freeze damage.
-
Inspect components for visible wear or issues that should be addressed in spring.
-
Shut down and secure the controller/timer so it’s ready for startup next year.
