Can I just drain the sprinkler system myself?

Draining valves and gravity alone will not clear the water trapped in lateral lines, heads, and the backflow assembly. It takes high-volume compressed air to push that water out. A standard shop compressor generally cannot move enough air to do it properly, and running one at too high a pressure can damage seals and heads.

What if something on my system is already broken?

Tell us when you book and we will plan for it. Fall is a good time to handle repairs because we are already at the system, and it means you are not waiting on a fix during the spring rush.

Don't Wait On This

One Hard Freeze Is All It Takes

Water left sitting in your lines expands when it freezes. That cracks PVC, splits brass fittings, and destroys backflow preventers — and you won't find out until spring, when the repair bill is far bigger than the blowout would have been.

Ocean County freezes earlier than people expect

We start seeing overnight lows near freezing well before the first real cold snap. The safe window closes fast, and the last two weeks before a hard freeze are always our busiest. Book early and you get the date you want.

Every blowout includes:

High-CFM compressed air pushed through every zone — not a quick pass on the easy ones
Backflow preventer drained and protected
Main line shut down and water supply isolated
Controller set to off or rain mode for the season
A heads-up on anything we spot that should be fixed before spring

Common Questions

Blowout FAQs

When should I schedule my blowout in Ocean County?

The safe target is to have it done before the first hard freeze. In Southern Ocean County that usually means booking in the fall and getting on the calendar early — the last couple weeks before a cold snap are always our busiest, and that's when dates run out.

Can't I just drain it myself?

Draining valves and gravity alone will not clear the water trapped in lateral lines, heads, and the backflow assembly. It takes high-volume compressed air to push that water out. A shop compressor generally can't move enough air to do it properly, and running one at too high a pressure can damage seals and heads.

Do I need to be home?

Usually not. As long as we can get to your controller, backflow preventer, and shutoff, we can take care of it. Just let us know about gate codes or dogs in the notes when you book.

How long does it take?

Most residential systems take about an hour, depending on how many zones you have. Larger or commercial properties take longer.

What if something is already broken?

Tell us on the form and we'll plan for it. Fall is actually a good time to handle repairs — we're already at the system, and it means you're not waiting on a fix in the spring rush.

What areas do you cover?

Forked River, Lacey Township, Barnegat, Waretown, Manahawkin, Long Beach Island, and the surrounding Southern Ocean County area. If you're just outside that, ask — we'll tell you straight whether we can get to you.
