Fall in Ammon doesn’t last long—and once those first hard frosts arrive, it may already be too late to protect your irrigation system. If you haven’t scheduled your sprinkler winterization and backflow certification, don’t wait. YardTech, Inc. offers both services in Ammon, ID, with certified professionals who get the job done right.
Why Ammon Residents Need Winterization and Backflow Testing
Ammon’s high desert climate brings dry summers and sharp temperature drops in late fall. That combo creates the perfect conditions for freeze-related irrigation damage.
Your system is at risk for:
- Cracked sprinkler heads
- Burst pipes underground
- Broken valves and solenoids
- Destroyed backflow preventers
Even worse, failing to test your backflow device annually can leave your water supply vulnerable—and may result in fines or shutoffs if you’re out of compliance.
What Idaho Plumbing Code Requires
Under Idaho’s adopted code (603.3):
- All irrigation systems must have approved backflow preventers
- Backflow assemblies must be tested annually
- Testing must be performed by certified testers
- Devices must be winterized to prevent freezing
YardTech takes care of both services in one visit—giving you peace of mind and code compliance before winter arrives.
Our Sprinkler Winterization Process
We use high-volume air compressors to safely blow out each zone of your irrigation system. This removes every last bit of water from:
- Lateral lines and pipes
- Valve assemblies
- Sprinkler heads
- Pressure vacuum breakers or RPZ devices
Our process is clean, safe, and designed specifically for Ammon’s winter conditions.
Backflow Testing the Right Way
We’re certified to test all types of backflow assemblies used in Ammon:
- AVB (Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers)
- PVB (Pressure Vacuum Breakers)
- RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone assemblies)
You’ll receive full documentation, and if your device fails, we can repair or replace it to keep your system protected and your home up to code.
