If you live in Idaho Falls and haven’t winterized your sprinkler system yet, it’s time. Every year, we repair hundreds of irrigation systems that suffered preventable damage—all because they weren’t blown out in time or the backflow device wasn’t protected properly.
Why These Two Services Go Together
Sprinkler winterization and backflow certification are both required to ensure your system:
- Doesn’t freeze and fail during winter
- Complies with Idaho Falls plumbing code
- Protects the public water supply
A sprinkler blowout clears your pipes and valves of all remaining water. A backflow certification ensures your prevention assembly is working and safe to leave in place through the winter—or that it’s drained properly to prevent freeze damage.
Idaho Falls Code Requirements
Per Section 603.3:
- Backflow devices must meet listed standards and be tested annually
- Certified testers must perform all inspections
- Devices must be labeled and documented
- Backflow assemblies must be protected from freezing
YardTech handles all of that in one visit.
