Protect Your System Before North Springs Freezes

Briargate homeowners often have polished, established irrigation systems that can suffer expensive damage when even a small amount of water stays trapped in the lines. A single hard freeze can mean cracked valves, split pipes, and spring leaks throughout the yard.

Rafter Three uses regulated compressed air and a zone-by-zone process to winterize your system the right way, keeping everything protected through Briargate's cold snaps and north-side weather swings.

Briargate Blowout Checklist:

Mainline Clearing: High-volume air clears trapped water from the primary supply line.
Zone-by-Zone Blowout: Every zone is cleared until it is safely mist-free.
Backflow Protection: We prepare and drain vulnerable components before freezing temperatures hit.
Controller Shutdown: Your controller is paused so the system stays off for winter.
Spring Prep Notes: We flag visible repair concerns now so you can plan ahead before startup season.

Reserve Your Blowout

North Colorado Springs blowout routes fill up quickly once the first freeze is in sight.

Why Winterize?

What a Missed Blowout Can Cost in Briargate

Winterization is cheaper than replacing cracked components all spring long.

Burst Lateral Lines

Water left in underground piping expands fast during freezes and can split laterals below the lawn.

Cracked Backflow Units

Backflow preventers are expensive to replace and among the first components to fail when not drained correctly.

Damaged Valves

Frozen water trapped in valves and manifolds can ruin diaphragms, housings, and wiring connections.

Spring Leak Chasing

Skipping blowout often turns into multiple repair visits in spring once the system is pressurized again.
