The right window
Book commercial winterizations for late October through mid-November. That's after most properties stop needing water and before a sustained hard freeze. Western Monmouth sites (Freehold, Manalapan, Howell) often freeze a little earlier than shore towns, so schedule them first.
What's at risk
- Backflow devices — the most exposed and most expensive part; water left inside can crack the body
- Valves and fittings — trapped water expands and splits plastic
- Heads and lateral lines — especially in low spots
What a proper commercial blowout includes
- Main shut off; drains opened
- Each zone cleared with a compressor sized for commercial pipe
- Air pressure regulated to protect heads and fittings
- Backflow drained and valves left half-open
- Controller set to off or rain mode
- Visit logged with any spring repairs noted
