Sterling Heights · October Routes
Sprinkler blowouts in Sterling Heights.
Sterling Heights has some of the most established neighborhoods on our routes, and established neighborhoods mean older irrigation: poly pipe from the 90s, fittings that have been through thirty freeze cycles, and rotor heads that have quietly gotten brittle. Older systems don't need a different service — they need the pressure discipline younger systems forgive. We hold 50 to 60 PSI and never pass 80, because aged fittings are exactly what high-pressure shortcuts crack.
The Work
What a blowout covers at your house.
Compressed air pushed through every zone at 50 to 60 PSI — never above 80 — until each one runs dry mist. Backflow preventer isolated with test cocks and ball valves left at 45 degrees. Controller shut down for the winter. When we pull out of the driveway, you get a text with your zone count and anything worth knowing about. We tow a 185 CFM compressor so volume does the work, because pressure is what cracks fittings and melts rotor gear drives.

Sterling Heights Questions
Asked on our Sterling Heights routes.
My system is 25+ years old. Is a blowout safe for it?
Safer than skipping it. Age makes freeze damage more likely, not less. The risk to old systems isn't the blowout — it's excessive pressure, which is why we clear zones with volume at 50–60 PSI instead of cranking a small compressor past 100.
A head was already broken before you arrived. How do I know you didn't do it?
You see a photo of everything we find, when we find it. Broken heads in mature yards are almost always pre-existing and hidden under growth — we show you rather than bill you.
When is it too late for a blowout?
In Macomb County the first hard freeze usually lands in the first half of November and it does not warn you. Anything still holding water when the ground freezes is at risk. October is the window.
Do I need to be home?
No. We need access to the controller and the backyard. Leave the gate unlocked or send the code, and we will text you a summary when we pull out of the driveway.
