Prepare Your Sprinkler System for a Colorado Winter
Colorado temperatures can change quickly, and freezing weather can cause serious damage to a sprinkler system with water still trapped inside.
A professional sprinkler blowout, also called sprinkler winterization, removes water from your irrigation lines before winter arrives. This helps protect pipes, valves, sprinkler heads, fittings, and other components from freezing and breaking.
The Cooper Green Team helps Denver-area homeowners prepare their homes for winter with professional sprinkler blowout services designed to protect your irrigation system through Colorado’s coldest months.
Schedule your sprinkler blowout before freezing temperatures arrive.

We start by shutting off the water supply to your sprinkler system and preparing the irrigation lines for winterization.
Compressed-air equipment is connected to the appropriate irrigation access point. The correct pressure and airflow are used to clear the system without unnecessarily stressing sprinkler components.
We work through the irrigation system zone by zone, using compressed air to push remaining water out of the lines and sprinkler heads. Removing trapped water helps reduce the risk of cracked pipes, damaged valves, broken fittings, and other freeze-related problems.
We pay attention to areas where water can remain trapped, including sprinkler heads, valves, fittings, manifolds, underground lines, and accessible backflow components.
Once the sprinkler system has been cleared, it can remain shut down until freezing temperatures have passed in the spring. For homeowners throughout Denver, Aurora, Arvada, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, and surrounding communities, scheduling a sprinkler blowout before the first significant freeze can help prevent costly winter damage.
Since 1978, the Cooper Green Team has helped homeowners throughout Denver and Colorado's Front Range take care of the systems that keep their homes comfortable, safe, and running smoothly.
When you choose Cooper for sprinkler winterization, you get the convenience of working with a trusted local home-service company that understands Colorado homes and Colorado weather.
"I would highly recommend Cooper for your plumbing needs."
—Cheryl R.I'm a little late on my review but I wanted to give a big shout out to Brendan. He removed an old ceramic sink in my kitchen and added a stainless steel sink in its place right after Christmas. He had some challenges and yet he kept a great attitude all the way through. I can't thank him enough for the tough install. I would highly recommend him and Cooper for your plumbing needs. I know I'll be calling them again.
When water remains in an irrigation system and temperatures fall below freezing, it can turn to ice and expand. The pressure generated within sprinkler pipes and components can cause cracks, leaks, damaged valves, broken fittings, and other problems.
Some freeze damage may not even be noticeable until you turn your sprinkler system back on in the spring.
Winterizing your sprinklers in the fall can help protect:
Underground sprinkler linesSprinkler headsValves and fittingsIrrigation manifoldsBackflow componentsOther water-filled irrigation componentsTaking care of your sprinkler system before winter is much easier than discovering a leak or broken line when spring arrives.
A sprinkler blowout is a fall winterization service that uses compressed air to remove water from sprinkler and irrigation lines. Removing the water helps protect the system from freezing and cracking during Colorado's winter months.
Yes. Denver-area sprinkler systems are exposed to freezing temperatures throughout fall, winter, and early spring. Water left inside pipes, valves, fittings, or other components can freeze and expand, potentially damaging the irrigation system.
Schedule your sprinkler blowout in the fall before the first significant freeze. Many Colorado homeowners winterize their systems as the regular watering season ends. Because Denver weather can change quickly, scheduling before freezing temperatures appear in the forecast provides better protection.
Water left inside the system may freeze and expand. This can contribute to cracked sprinkler lines, broken fittings, damaged valves, damaged sprinkler heads, backflow problems, or underground leaks. Some damage may remain hidden until the system is turned back on in spring.
Yes. Being underground does not guarantee that an irrigation line is protected from freezing. Water trapped in portions of the system can still freeze during extended cold temperatures and potentially damage pipes or fittings.
Sprinkler winterization requires the correct air pressure, air volume, connections, and procedure for the specific irrigation system. Too little air may leave water behind, while improper use of compressed air can damage sprinkler components. Homeowners who are unsure how to properly winterize their system should consider professional service.
Not necessarily. Water can remain trapped in low areas, valves, fittings, and other portions of an irrigation system even after the water supply has been shut off or manually drained. A compressed-air blowout helps remove remaining water from the sprinkler zones.
