Protect your system from freeze damage.
Sprinkler blowouts and timely winterization are crucial for protecting your irrigation system from freezing weather damage.
Sprinkler blowout, also known as winterization, is the process of evacuating all of the water from your irrigation system to prevent damage caused by freezing water. The main piece of equipment used for this type of work is a professional-grade air compressor. For Medway and Norfolk County homeowners, this essential fall maintenance protects your investment from harsh New England winters.
Not all air compressors are created equal. Many homeowners attempt to blowout their systems with store-bought air compressors, only to find that the process can take up to ten times as long, with expensive consequences. These products do not create the constant air flow needed to guarantee all the water is cleared, which then freezes and expands inside the system pipes, causing them to crack.
We begin by shutting off the water that supplies the irrigation system
A powerful stream of air pushes all water out through the lines
Finally, we power down the irrigation controller for the winter
Professional protection for your irrigation investment
Commercial-grade compressors ensure complete water removal from every zone. Our equipment delivers the constant, powerful airflow that store-bought compressors simply cannot match.
Our unique process includes longer blowouts than average to eliminate the chance of freeze damage. We take the extra time needed to guarantee complete water removal.
Backflow prevention check and spring repair audit included. We identify items to inspect or repair come spring - there's no sense making repairs before a New England winter hits.
We know Massachusetts winters and how to protect your investment. With over 30 years serving Norfolk County, we understand the local climate and timing requirements.
With Advantage Irrigation, we begin the process of winterization by shutting off the water that supplies the irrigation system. We then hook up a hose from our large air compressor and blow a powerful stream of air through the lines, which, in turn, pushes the water out. Finally, we power down the irrigation controller. This is done in the fall, before the freeze of winter arrives.
Our unique process includes longer blowouts to eliminate the chance of freeze damage, a routine check of the backflow prevention system, and an audit of items to inspect or repair come spring. We'll be ready in the spring for your sprinkler system turn-on!

Call 508-883-4795 Request Estimate OnlineA sprinkler blowout uses compressed air to clear all water from your irrigation system before freezing temperatures arrive. This prevents water from expanding inside pipes and causing cracks or damage to your system components.
In the fall, before the first hard freeze. In Massachusetts, we recommend scheduling your blowout by the end of October. Medway and Norfolk County typically see their first freeze in late October or early November.
Store-bought compressors lack the power needed for complete water removal. Professional equipment ensures all water is cleared with constant, high-volume airflow that consumer models simply cannot provide.
A complete winterization includes shutting off the water supply, draining remaining water from above-ground components, insulating exposed pipes and backflow preventers, and planning any repairs needed for spring startup.
