Winter is right around the corner, and we’re approaching the first frost temperatures of the year soon. That means outside air temps are expected to drop to 32F this week. So, now is the perfect time to contact Brothers for a sprinkler blowout. If you don’t, then you may face a frozen pipe issue in the coming days.
So, what are you waiting for? Contact Brothers Plumbing Heating & Electric to schedule a sprinkler blowout today.
What If You Can’t Get A Blowout Before Temperatures Drop?
If you haven’t had us out yet, and you can’t have us out before it gets cold this week, then there are a few things you can do to help protect your sprinkler system from freezing.
Follow these steps if Brothers wasn’t able to visit you for a blowout:
- Turn Off Your Sprinkler System: Turn off your sprinklers to prevent any waterflow. If there is water left over in your pipes, it can freeze, causing pipe bursting and worse. The best time to turn it off was yesterday, the second best time is now.
- Drain Your Sprinklers: You really don’t want any water left over in your sprinkler lines, and some can remain even after you turn off your system. So, ensure you manually drain your sprinkler line by opening the drain valves.
- Insulate Any Exposed Pipes: Insulating exposed sprinkler lines can go a long way towards preventing frozen and burst pipes. Contact us to learn more about how to insulate your line today!
Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Follow the above steps to purge your system of any remaining water, and contact us to schedule a blowout before the next frost arrives.
