Sprinkler Winterization & Blowouts in Farmington Hills, MI
I’ve been winterizing sprinklers in Farmington Hills for over 30 years—smaller 4–6 zone systems in subdivisions off Orchard Lake and 12 Mile, and larger 12+ zone properties along Halsted, Drake, and 14 Mile. Many setups here blend older copper/brass shut-offs with newer PVC or poly laterals. My safe method: 50–60 PSI with high CFM, short passes per zone, and the drain plug left off or partially threaded so if the shut-off weeps, water drains out instead of backing into your system.

FAQs
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as the water is shut off in the basement and I can access the backflow/valves and controller if needed.
Controller on or off?
City-water: can stay ON. Pump/well: I disable pump-start so the pump can’t run dry.
What PSI/CFM do you use?
I run 50–60 PSI with high CFM. Volume clears lines safely—no need to exceed that range.
