Sprinkler Winterization & Blowout in Fort Mill, SC
Protect your irrigation system before freezing temperatures arrive. Our professional sprinkler blowout service uses air-compressor equipment to clear water from your irrigation lines, valves and sprinkler heads.
Don't Just Shut It Off. Clear the Water From the System.
Turning off the irrigation water supply prevents additional water from entering your sprinkler system, but water can still remain inside underground pipes, valves, sprinkler heads and backflow components.
When temperatures drop below freezing, trapped water can freeze, expand and potentially damage irrigation components. Fort Mill Irrigation uses professional air-compressor equipment to help remove remaining water and prepare your system for winter.

Turning Off the Water Isn't the Same as Winterizing
Water left behind inside an irrigation system can become a problem when Fort Mill experiences freezing temperatures.
Water Supply Turned Off
Stops additional water from entering the irrigation system, but water may remain inside piping, valves, fittings and sprinkler heads.
Professional Air Blowout
Compressed air is moved through the irrigation system to help clear remaining water from individual sprinkler zones before winter.
What Sprinkler Winterization Helps Protect
One appointment can help protect some of the most expensive components of your irrigation system.
Underground Lines
Helps remove water remaining inside buried irrigation piping, lateral lines and fittings.
Valves

Above-ground backflow components can be especially vulnerable when temperatures fall below freezing.

Fort Mill Sprinkler Winterization FAQs
Common questions about protecting your irrigation system from winter freeze damage.
How much does sprinkler winterization cost?
Fort Mill Irrigation's listed sprinkler winterization price is $85.
Does Fort Mill really get cold enough to winterize sprinklers?
Freezing temperatures can occur in the Carolinas. Water remaining inside exposed or underground irrigation components can freeze and expand, potentially damaging the system.
Why can't I just turn the sprinkler water off?
Turning off the supply prevents additional water from entering, but it does not necessarily remove water already inside irrigation lines, valves and sprinkler heads.
Do you use an air compressor?
Yes. Fort Mill Irrigation uses air-compressor equipment as part of its sprinkler winterization process.
Does winterization help protect the backflow preventer?
Yes. Backflow prevention assemblies are an important consideration because exposed components can be vulnerable to freezing temperatures.
When should I schedule sprinkler winterization?
Schedule before sustained freezing weather arrives. Booking during fall also helps avoid the seasonal rush immediately before a freeze.
