I finished all the remaining sprinkler blowouts in the 83706 except for two.  One has the busted filter assembly that I mentioned in yesterday's post, and the other we could not find the main and drain valves or backflow so we could blow out the system.  The previous one I will work on toward the […]

Yesterday went better than the day before in the 83706, but I still had some setbacks.  Water is blowing out fine, but running into frozen shut valve boxes that have to be "chisled" free.  It is surprising how much time it takes for blowouts during colder weather.  I would guess it averages around 1.5 times […]

We try to reach as many people as we can, and feel bad for those who sign up late in the season when very few companies are still doing sprinkler blowouts, but after much consideration, we have decided to close blowouts to new requests. We are working hard, and will not stop until we have […]

At the time of this writing we only have 5 sprinkler blowouts left in the Boise 83703. Once they are finished I will be starting blowouts in the Boise 83706. We actually went out on an emergency call to Garden City  where a sprinkler main valve corroded and broke 4 feet in the ground. Fortunately, […]

We finished up the 83702, 83704, and all but 5 of the 83703 yesterday, even though we were slowed down by the rain and snow.  Tomorrow I will finish the remaining of the 83703 and move on to the 83706.  We have several in the 83706, but still think I can finish them within two […]

I finished up all the Boise 83705 that was currently on my list when I left yesterday morning except for one that I need to get to first thing today because the water has to be shut off in the house.  The owner just moved in and had no idea, and wasn't home when I […]

We had an awesome day yesterday finishing up the 83705 and most of the 83702.  We will finish up the rest of the 83702 in the morning and then move on to the 83704 for two days.  So far, we are about a day ahead of schedule.  Please make sure to leave access through gates, […]

We are about a day ahead on our sprinkler blowouts at this point, so I hope it holds.  We took care of the one sprinkler blowout we had in the 83712 after we finished the 83716, and then completed two thirds of the 83705. Today we will start in the 83702 after we finish the […]

We made quite a bit of progress yesterday on sprinkler blowouts. Enough that we will finish the Boise 83716 by noon hopefully, and move on to our next area a day early. After we finish the Boise 83716 we are going to do the 83712, (one blowout), and then head over to the Boise 83705. […]

I would have had Garden City totally finished yesterday if a few of our customers would had made sure that their valve boxes were visible, and gates were unlocked.  I also visited one home that could have been avoided had they cancelled their blowout before I got there.  It was not only a waste of […]
