Broken Sprinkler Head Repair
A head shooting a fountain into the air, one that stays down in the grass, one soaking the house. Heads are the most common repair we make. Call 469-208-4222.
Why heads break
Mowers and edgers clip them. Cars and trucks back over the ones by the driveway and the curb. Clay shifts them out of level and grass grows over them until they spray into turf instead of across it. And the plastic simply gets old: seals leak, springs weaken, and the stem stops rising all the way.
What we do
- Replace the broken head with a matching type so the zone stays balanced
- Check and replace the riser or swing joint under it if that is what snapped
- Set the head at grade so mowers miss it and it clears the grass
- Match nozzles so one zone does not mix low and high output heads
- Adjust the arc and throw so water lands on lawn, not on the sidewalk
Matching matters. A zone with mixed nozzles waters one part of the yard twice as much as another, and that is how you get a brown patch next to a soggy one.
Heads that will not pop up
If every head in a zone is weak, the problem is usually upstream: a broken pipe, a valve not opening fully, or too many heads on one zone. If one head will not rise, it is usually that head. We sort out which before replacing parts. Read more in why sprinkler heads stop popping up.
