What is a sprinkler system blowout?
A blowout is a fall winterization service that removes water from irrigation lines before freezing weather. A landscape company blows compressed air through the lines. This keeps leftover water from freezing and damaging pipes.

How does blowout pricing work per zone?
One Omaha-area service menu lists $75 for up to five zones, plus $10 for each additional zone. Larger systems cost more. Ask how many zones your system has before you accept a quote.
