Essential Winter Protection

Monument homeowners know that a hard freeze can hit earlier than in the lower-lying areas of Colorado Springs. If water is left in your pipes when the Tri-Lakes deep freeze arrives, it will shatter PVC lines and destroy expensive backflow preventers.

Rafter Three uses industrial high-volume, low-pressure compressed air to push every drop of moisture out of your zone mainlines and laterals, protecting your investment for next year.

Monument Blowout Checklist:

Mainline Blowout: High-volume air injection to clear primary supply lines.
Zone-by-Zone Clearing: Sequentially blowing out each zone until only mist remains.
Backflow Preparation: Testing and draining the backflow preventer to prevent frost damage.
Controller Winterization: Powering down or setting your controller to winter-pause mode.
Performance Audit: A quick visual check for any repair needs for the spring.

Reserve Your Date

Blowout slots in Monument fill up fast. Reserve your spot before the first hard freeze.

Why Winterize?

The Cost of Skipping a Blowout

A simple blowout now prevents thousands in repairs in the spring.

Burst Mainlines

Frozen water expands with massive force, splitting PVC and poly piping throughout your yard.

Backflow Rupture

The backflow preventer is the most expensive single component of your system and easiest to crack.

Zone Valve Damage

Water trapped in valve housings often shatters the internal diaphragms and expensive casings.

Rural Lot Issues

Larger lots in Monument mean longer pipe runs. Any missed water can lead to multiple spring leaks.
