Broken Sprinkler Head Repair
A head blown off by a mower, one stuck in the grass, one watering the driveway. We replace and match heads so the whole zone waters evenly again. Call (346) 627-2444.
Why heads fail
Mowers and edgers clip them. Cars and trailers crush the ones by the driveway. Sandy soil works into the stem and makes it stick. Heavy rain can settle the ground so heads sink or lean. And plastic simply wears out.
What we do
- Replace with a matching head and nozzle
- Replace broken risers with flexible swing joints
- Set the head at grade so mowers miss it
- Adjust arc and throw so water stays off concrete
Texas irrigation rules say sprinklers should not spray onto paved surfaces, so aim matters. See why heads break and how to fix them.
Spray heads and rotors
Spray heads throw a fixed fan of water up to about 15 feet and suit beds, narrow strips and small lawns. Rotors throw a rotating stream much farther and suit open lawns. The two put down water at very different rates, so they should never share a zone. When we replace a head we match the type, the nozzle and the height, and we set it back from the driveway and walks so it waters the lawn instead of the concrete. Texas rules for new systems call for heads at least four inches from hardscape and aimed away from it.
