Sprinkler Winterization in Denver you can trust
Protect Your Sprinkler System Before Winter – and Be Ready for Spring!
Prevent Frozen Pipes with Expert Sprinkler Winterization in Denver
Colorado winters are brutal on sprinkler systems. If your irrigation pipes aren’t properly blown out before freezing temperatures hit, you could be facing burst lines, costly repairs, and a sprinkler system that won’t work when you need it next spring.
At 5280 Property Inspections, we offer thorough, professional sprinkler winterization services to prepare your system for winter and guarantee peace of mind when warmer weather returns.
What Our Sprinkler Winterization Service Includes
When you schedule with 5280 Property Inspections, you can expect a full, professional blowout and system shutdown:
- Water Shut-Off: We locate and close the sprinkler system’s shut-off valve, usually found in the basement or crawlspace.
- Air Compressor Blowout: We attach an air hose to the blow-out valve near your backflow preventer and use a commercial-grade compressor to flush all remaining water out of each sprinkler zone.
- Zone-by-Zone Clearing: Every sprinkler zone is thoroughly emptied to prevent freezing and damage.
- System Shut-Down: Once blown out, we shut off the valves by the backflow preventer and individual zones, ensuring no water can re-enter.
- Final Drainage and Winterization: We drain any remaining water from the basement shut-off valve and adjust exterior valves to a 45-degree angle – the proper position to prevent cracking due to trapped moisture or pressure.
When we’re finished your entire system will be dry, sealed and prepped to hibernate safely through the winter months – and ready to fire up without issues next spring!
Why Sprinkler Winterization Matters
- Prevent Pipe Bursting and Leaks: Any water left inside sprinkler lines can freeze, expand, and crack the pipes or fittings, leading to expensive repairs.
- Ensure Proper Spring Startup: A properly winterized system will function correctly come spring – no surprises, no costly fixes.
- Protect Your Investment: Sprinkler systems aren’t cheap. A small winterization service saves you from thousands of dollars in possible damage.
- Peace of Mind all Winter: Knowing your system is properly flushed, shut down, and winterized means no worries about freezing damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend scheduling your sprinkler blowout between mid-September and early November, before the first deep freeze arrives. Appointments fill up quickly once temperatures start to drop – don’t wait!
Water left in pipes can freeze, expand, and cause underground leaks or damage to sprinkler heads and backflow preventers. Repairs are often much more costly than winterization.
Most systems take about 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of zones?
We guarantee a full professional blowout. However, extreme weather events or pre-existing system issues can still pose rare risks, so early scheduling is best.

- Andy Cowin3/30/2025This was the second time we have used Jeremiah and he did not disappoint. He is very communicative throughout the process, does a thorough inspection and most importantly reviews the inspection in detail once completed. 5280 does a great job of scoring the proposed ‘fixes’ from a range of most critical / must fix… to things to just keep an eye on / DIY it. Highly recommend!read moreread less
