A frost advisory just appeared on Environment Canada for the Calgary area tonight. Your sprinkler system is still full of water. You need a same-day emergency blowout — and you need it before sundown. This is J.G. Irrigation's guide to emergency winterization in Calgary.
J.G. Irrigation Emergency Blowout Response
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Call immediately | 587-433-4795 — describe frost advisory situation |
| 2. Turn off your irrigation controller | Do not run any watering cycles while awaiting technician — keeps pipes empty of fresh water |
| 3. Locate your main irrigation shutoff | Typically in mechanical room near water meter — have it accessible for technician |
| 4. Leave compressor access clear | Ensure backyard gate unlocked and path to blowout port accessible |
| 5. Technician completes zone-by-zone blowout | Each zone cycled 2-3 times until only dry air exits |
If No Technician Is Available Tonight
If all Calgary irrigation companies are booked and a hard freeze is imminent tonight: shut off your irrigation main immediately and open any manual drain valves. This does not replace a professional blowout but removes the bulk of standing water. Call J.G. Irrigation first thing tomorrow morning: 587-433-4795. We prioritize customers who experienced a freeze event and need immediate assessment. A post-freeze inspection costs $75-$150 and may prevent a much larger excavation repair bill in spring.
