Even though your system may still be running through late summer and early fall, now is the perfect time to reserve your sprinkler blowout appointment. At Spot On Irrigation, our fall schedule fills up quickly throughout Ocean, Monmouth, and Atlantic Counties, so booking early helps make sure your system is protected before freezing temperatures arrive.
What Is a Sprinkler Blowout?
A sprinkler blowout, also known as irrigation winterization, removes water from your underground irrigation lines using compressed air.
Water left inside sprinkler pipes, valves, and heads can freeze when temperatures drop. As that water freezes, it expands and can cause cracked pipes, damaged valves, broken sprinkler heads, and other costly problems.
Properly winterizing your irrigation system helps protect it throughout the winter so itâs ready for spring.
When Should You Winterize Your Sprinkler System in NJ?
For most New Jersey homeowners, sprinkler winterization is typically completed during the fall before consistently freezing temperatures arrive.
But that doesnât mean you should wait until the last minute to schedule.
August and early fall are a great time to reserve your spot on the winterization schedule. Your actual blowout can be scheduled for later in the season based on your lawn care needs and how long you plan to continue watering.
Booking early gives you more flexibility and helps avoid the rush once colder weather starts moving in.
Seeding or Thatching This Fall?
If youâre planning on seeding, aerating, dethatching, or renovating your lawn, timing your sprinkler blowout is especially important.
Freshly seeded lawns usually require consistent watering while the new grass becomes established. Because of this, you may want to keep your irrigation system running longer than someone who isnât doing fall lawn work.
Thatâs why we recommend getting on the schedule early and planning your winterization around your fall lawn care.
You can also have your sprinkler heads flagged before lawn work to help prevent accidental damage during seeding, aerating, or dethatching.
Why You Shouldn't Wait Until the First Freeze
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is waiting until freezing weather is already in the forecast before calling for a sprinkler blowout.
By that point, irrigation companies are often working through their busiest weeks of the season.
Scheduling ahead helps you avoid:
Last-minute appointment availability
Frozen irrigation lines
Cracked sprinkler components
Costly spring repairs
Stress when an unexpected cold snap arrives
A little planning in the fall can save you from a much bigger irrigation repair in the spring.
