CSM irrigation, including Camilo and his team did an amazing job getting my system running well. They provided friendly and quick service. They replaced the main valve coming out of my house and many of my leaking sprinkler heads. They adjusted everything to my satisfaction. I will definitely keep them as my system service provider going forward. Highly recommended.

Expert Sprinkler System Winterization in Oak Brook, IL
Sprinkler system winterization in Oak Brook is one of the most important steps you can take before fall turns to winter. Oak Brook sits in the Chicagoland area, where overnight lows can drop below 28°F and stay there for hours. At those temperatures, water trapped in pipes, valves, and backflow preventers freezes and expands. That expansion cracks fittings, splits pipes, and damages sprinkler heads. CSM Irrigation Inc uses the compressed-air blowout method to clear every zone of standing water. We shut off the water supply, connect a commercial-grade air compressor to the blowout port, and work through each zone from the highest elevation down. We also set your backflow preventer valves to the correct winter position and power down the controller. The result is a dry, protected system ready for spring startup. If you have a multi-zone system on an Oak Brook residential property, call CSM Irrigation Inc to get it scheduled before the first hard freeze.

FAQ
Sprinkler System Winterization FAQ
Common questions about sprinkler system winterization in Oak Brook, IL.
Skipping winterization in Oak Brook puts your system at serious risk of freeze damage. Water left in pipes and valves expands when it freezes, and that pressure cracks components that are expensive to replace.
A technician shuts off your water supply, connects a commercial air compressor to the blowout port, and forces air through each zone to push out all standing water. Every zone is cleared individually, and the backflow preventer is set to its winter position before the visit is complete.
Schedule winterization before Oak Brook overnight lows consistently approach freezing, typically in the fall season. Waiting until after a hard freeze has already hit increases the chance that damage has already occurred.
Yes, backflow preventer protection is part of a proper winterization service in Oak Brook. The valves on the backflow device are set to the correct winter position so water cannot pool and freeze inside the unit.
Yes, CSM Irrigation Inc winterizes multi-zone residential irrigation systems throughout Oak Brook. Each zone is blown out separately to make sure no water is left behind in any part of the system.
The controller is powered down as part of the winterization process so it does not trigger a watering cycle during freezing weather. This protects both the controller and any components that were just cleared of water.
