Why it matters up here

Monument sits around 7,000 feet. Water left in a lateral line freezes, expands, and splits the pipe — and you do not find out until you turn the system on in April and a section of your yard turns into a swamp. A cracked manifold or a split backflow assembly is a several-hundred-dollar repair. The blowout is $85.

How it works

  • I connect a compressor at your backflow or blowout port.
  • Every zone runs individually until the heads spit dry air.
  • Regulated pressure — too much air cracks fittings and heads, which is the most common thing done wrong.
  • Valves left in the correct position for winter, backflow drained.
  • Fifteen to twenty minutes for a typical system.

Timing

Book anytime from mid-September on. The first hard freeze in the Tri-Lakes area usually lands somewhere in October, but it has come earlier. Once nighttime temperatures start dropping into the twenties consistently, you are already gambling.

Book with your neighbors

I schedule by street rather than by date. If three or more houses on your block book the same morning, everyone pays $75 instead of $85. Mention it when you call and I will hold a slot.

Questions I get

How long does it take?

Fifteen to twenty minutes for a standard residential system. Larger systems with ten or more zones run closer to half an hour.

Do I need to be home?

No. I just need access to the backflow and the controller. Most people are at work when I come out.

What if I already had a freeze?

Still worth doing. Get it blown out, then run a full system check in spring so you know exactly what needs repair before you turn the water on.
