Nothing on your place is broken today.

That's the tricky part. Windmills, pumps, tanks, troughs and pipework don't usually fail in June, when it wouldn't matter much. They fail in January, on a hot week, when they're working hardest and everything on the property is drinking off them.

Almost all of it is preventable, and almost all of it is a straightforward job right now.

Ten things worth checking before summer.

  • StorageEnough water for a dry ten weeks?
Real jobs, real properties

The same trough, one afternoon apart.

Trough cleaning across the district — we check the inlets, the floats and the fittings while we're there, and flag anything that won't see out summer.

Why Bryan

There's always someone cheaper. There isn't always someone who'll answer the phone in February.

We've been building and servicing windmills in Colac since 1888, and these days we do a good deal more than windmills — pumps, solar, tanks, troughs, pipe, trenching, rural plumbing, filtration and irrigation.

What that means for you is one phone call instead of four, someone who'll size it properly the first time, and a business that's still going to be at Wilson Street when you need it looked at.

  • Made in Colac since 1888
  • 3-year warranty on Bryan-made windmill products
  • Free site assessment on project work
