Frequently Asked Questions for the Winter

Signing up for Winterizations: If you need to get signed up for a winterization, head to www.bendblowouts.com
Have a Package?: If you have already purchased a winterization as part of your irrigation package at he beginning of the season, you do not need to sign up again. Doing so will start sending you automated messages to make a payment for your winterization that you didn't need to sign up for. Just ignore the emails.
How long have we been accepting winterizations: We have been accepting winterization request since 9/1/2024 so many are on the list.
Scheduling Your Winterization: We don't know exactly we will be getting to your house, as our list is very fluid. We start in the South and higher elevations first, and we prioritize systems with exposed irrigation pumps.
Schedule Communication: Once you are on the schedule, you will get an email with the date and approximate time we will be at the property you want winterized.
You were in our neighborhood and you didn't blowout our irrigation system: If you see our truck in your neighborhood and we don't winterize your system that day, don't be alarmed. We likely scheduled that route before you signed up.
Expedite your winterization: If you want to pay the extra fees ($$$$) associated with getting ahead of everyone you can do so by sending a message directly to Monica in our office at jerry@everistirrigation.com. Payment of those fees will be required prior to getting on the schedule.
Aerations: Winterizations and aerations do not happen on the same day. These are done by different crews.
Cancelling your winterization: We would hate to see you go, but we can offer you a refund for your winterization. Please provide us with your receipt of payment to help us process your refund. Processing your refund can take a couple of days to do, and can also take
Cold weather fast approaching: If you ask a Bend native (I'm not one, but my wife is) they have seen snow on July 4th in Bend. Do we blow out irrigation in July? No! Just because it is cold outside and we have snow on the ground, our systems are safe for the most part from freezing. The ground and valve boxes insulate our irrigation equipment. We blow out irrigation well into November. I have even blown irrigation out in January with no issues. Some people, believe it or not, NEVER blowout their systems. I like to sleep at night during those -10 degree nights and not have to worry about my irrigation system.
Repairs: We are not performing repairs at this time. We don't have the resources at this time to investigate, diagnose and repair irrigation at this time.
Pricing: Pricing for your winterizations can be found by going to www.bendblowouts.com. Yes, we are often higher than most companies, but we don't operate the same as many of the fly-by-night companies and we have a warranty service that is unmatched.
