Before your fall blowout, a quick self-inspection identifies problems that can be repaired at the same visit — saving you a separate repair call in spring. This guide gives you a 10-minute pre-blowout walkthrough to do while J.G. Irrigation is on the way.
Pre-Blowout Inspection Checklist
| Inspection Item | What to Look For | If You Find It |
|---|---|---|
| Backflow preventer | Cracks, leaks, missing caps | Flag for tech — may need replacement ($200–$450) |
| Sprinkler heads | Broken, tilted, stuck up, cracked body | Flag for replacement at blowout ($40–$80/head) |
| Valve boxes | Cracked lids, waterlogged | Replace cracked lid before winter ($10–$25) |
| Controller | All zones showing, battery backup OK | Replace battery before winter ($5–$10) |
| Surface pooling | Soggy spots when system is off | Indicates underground leak — note location |
Share your checklist findings with the J.G. Irrigation technician at the start of the blowout visit. Heads and minor valve issues can often be repaired during the blowout appointment, avoiding a separate service call.
