Aqueduct Irrigation Urges Middle Tennessee Property Owners to Prepare Sprinkler Systems for Freezing Temperatures

NASHVILLE, TN – August 27, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Aqueduct Irrigation is reminding homeowners and businesses across the Nashville, Franklin, and Brentwood area that autumn marks an important time for scheduling sprinkler blowout and winterization services before freezing temperatures arrive.

When temperatures drop below freezing, water left inside irrigation lines can contribute to damage to pipes and other system components. Proper winterization helps protect irrigation systems during the colder months and can reduce the risk of freeze-related problems becoming apparent when systems are restarted in the spring.

Aqueduct Irrigation performs this seasonal service throughout Middle Tennessee, where changing late-fall temperatures make advance preparation important. The company encourages property owners to arrange winterization before freezing weather becomes a concern rather than waiting until temperatures have already dropped.

“Sprinkler blowout and winterization is one of the most important steps in seasonal irrigation care because water left in a system can lead to damage when freezing temperatures arrive,” said a Media Relations spokesperson for Aqueduct Irrigation. “Scheduling the service ahead of colder weather helps protect the system through the winter and prepares it for startup once warmer weather returns.”

Aqueduct Irrigation’s winterization process includes turning off the irrigation system’s water supply, draining the backflow device, and using regulated air pressure to purge water from the irrigation lines. The company notes that incorrect use of air pressure can damage an irrigation system, making proper winterization procedures important for protecting the equipment.

Property owners looking for ongoing seasonal care can also consider an irrigation maintenance agreement. Aqueduct Irrigation’s maintenance plans include spring activation and inspection, seasonal system walkthroughs and adjustments, winterization and deactivation, priority scheduling, and other plan-specific benefits. These agreements help keep irrigation systems on a consistent seasonal maintenance schedule throughout the year.

“Middle Tennessee winters can be unpredictable, which makes preparing irrigation systems ahead of freezing weather an important part of seasonal property care,” the Media Relations spokesperson added. “Proper winterization is part of maintaining an irrigation system throughout its full annual cycle, from spring activation through fall deactivation.”

Beyond seasonal irrigation care, Aqueduct Irrigation continues to serve the region with irrigation system installation, service and repair, renovations and upgrades, pump service, backflow service, and annual maintenance agreements. Through Southern Light, the company also provides outdoor and landscape lighting services, including design and installation, repair and maintenance, and Christmas and holiday lighting installation.
