The process will help to assure that the coming winter and freezing temperatures do not damage your lawn sprinkler system&#8217;s components and piping. This service needs to be performed by not only a trained lawn sprinkler technician, but it requires the correct use of specialized equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Mike&#8217;s Backflow are trained in the proper procedures to winterize and blow out any size underground lawn sprinkler, garden, or drip irrigations system. The equipment used is specifically regulated to deliver the precise amount of compressed air (based on manufacturer specifications) that will correctly remove the residual water in all of the systems&#8217; main lines, lateral lines, manifold, and solenoid valves. When properly performed, the sprinkler heads, solenoid valves and piping will not be compromised by excess pressure or friction by an improperly regulated air compressor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mikesbackflow.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/blowout-photo-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If not performed properly, damage can result to the irrigation system and will be evident the following season when the sprinkler system is started up again. That is why it is very important to avoid the seasonally advertised &#8220;SPECIAL&#8221; for this service. In the end, it will cost you more money to repair the damage done by a &#8220;DIY guy&#8221; or handyman who is not fully licensed, insured, trained, or equipped.<\/p>\n<p>When winterized correctly, your lawn sprinkler system will be ready to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at it over the winter season. As spring rolls around again and the temperatures begin to increase, you can be assured that the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Mike&#8217;s Backflow will be on the job and ready to do it all over again.<\/p>\n\t<h3 >\t\tWHAT TO EXPECT\n\t\tFROM THE MIKE&#8217;S BACKFLOW TEAM\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t1\n\t\t\t\tYou will be reminded of this appointment between 24-48 hours before\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t2\n\t\t\t\tA uniformed Mike&#8217;s Backflow technician in a trade marked service vehicle will arrive at your home within the time window for your scheduled appointment.

What some people may not know is that if you do not prepare your sprinklers, valves and pipes for the onslaught of freezing weather, you will end up with a damaged sprinkler system when spring arrives. This would mean huge costs in repairs or even the replacement of your entire irrigation system.<\/p>\n<p>When a yard sprinkler system is winterized, what happens is all water from all your sprinkler heads, pipes and sprinkler valves is removed. This is done so that when freezing temperatures happen, the water remaining in these sprinkler parts do not freeze up and damage them. Since water expands when ice is formed, the tendency is for your pipes and other sprinkler parts to crack from this expansion. Winterizing prevents such damage from happening.<\/p>\n<p>Draining your system using the blow out method is not as easy as it may sound. Since you will need to use pressurized air to remove all of the water from your irrigation system. There are also rules that need to be followed when this method is used to clear sprinkler system pipes and heads of water for winterization. This is why you should entrust this task to professionals at Mike&#8217;s Backflow.<\/p>\n\t<h3 >\t\tSCHEDULE AN\n\t\tAPPOINTMENT\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t<h3>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\n\t\t\n    Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\n        <!-- TODO: Move to Template File. -->\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h3>PHONE<\/h3 ><p>(208) 713-9951<\/p><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h3>EMAIL<\/h3 ><p>mike@mikesbackflow.org<\/p><\/li><li>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<h3>ADDRESS<\/h3 ><p>P.O.
