In the event of a water damage from sprinkler systems, promptly stopping the water flow is crucial to prevent further damage. Here's how you can take immediate action:

1. Locate the Backflow Device: This device, typically located 3-6 feet from the city meter in a rectangular box, has two handles that need to be turned perpendicular to the pipe to shut off the water supply to the irrigation system.
2. Check for Additional Shut-off Valves: Some systems may have an additional shut-off valve after the backflow device. Turning this valve a quarter turn can also stop the water flow to the sprinkler system.
3. Turn Off the Water Source: If the above methods are not accessible or effective, you can turn off the water source in two ways:

• At the Backflow: Locate the two valves on the backflow device and turn either one a quarter turn (perpendicular to the pipe) to shut off the water.
• Inside the House: Find the valve on the sprinkler system pipe and turn it a quarter turn to shut off the water to the sprinkler system while keeping the main house water supply on.

In case of an accidental activation of fire sprinklers, using a specialized Shutgun tool can quickly shut off the sprinkler and prevent further water damage from sprinkler systems.

Remember, acting swiftly to stop the water flow is the first crucial step in mitigating potential damage and ensuring a smoother restoration process.
