Why Winterizing Irrigation Matters in October
Once temps dip below freezing, any water left in your pipes can expand and burst your system.
Here’s what winterizing protects you from:
- Expensive pipe or valve repairs in spring
- Leaks and water waste
- Cracked heads and backflow damage
- Delayed irrigation startup next season
October is the safest month to get this done before the first hard frost hits.

FAQs: Winterizing Sprinkler Systems
Can I blow out my system myself with a home compressor?
Most residential compressors don’t reach the PSI needed to remove all water safely — especially for multi-zone systems.
When should I winterize in Andover?
We recommend between October 1st and Halloween, before freezing overnight lows set in.
Do I need to do this every year?
Yes. Even one freeze-thaw cycle with water in the lines can cause serious damage.
