Have an irrigation leak, broken line, or valve issue? Late-season repairs are easier before Central Oregon’s ground freezes.
Once frost sets in, the ground becomes much harder to dig and access: especially on larger acreage properties. Booking repairs early helps us locate the problem, complete the excavation, and restore your system before winter conditions make the work more difficult.
Our winterizations begin the second week of October and finish before Thanksgiving. During winter preparation, we keep valve box lids in place because the ground acts as an insulator, leave above-ground ball valves open to help prevent freeze damage, and adjust any necessary run times to later in the day to reduce ice hazards. Exposed irrigation pumps should be drained or protected inside an enclosed space with heat.
We also document leaks and necessary repairs found during winterization and include them on your invoice, giving us a clear plan for spring startup.
If you’re in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, or the surrounding Central Oregon area, contact us soon to schedule your repair before frozen ground limits access.
