Sprinkler Head Repair in Carrollton
Sprinkler head repair is the most common Addison call. Landscape crews take the top off a pop-up. A nozzle clogs with grit from Dallas Water Utilities. We match spray to spray and rotor to rotor so the zone does not throw a dry doughnut on an Addison Circle lawn.
An Addison pop-up lives in a hostile place: St. Augustine that wants to swallow it, commercial mow decks on hotel turf, and clay that shifts until the stem binds. When the head will not come up, people turn the zone on longer. That floods the working heads and still leaves a brown circle at the failed one.
We pull the head, flush the line, replace the body if it is cracked, and match the nozzle to the rest of the zone. Mixing a 15-foot spray with a rotor on the same valve is how you get mud and crunchy grass on the same Tuesday along Vitruvian or Les Lacs.
Farmers Branch and Carrollton lots often want matched Hunter or Rain Bird heads so the HOA lawn still looks even at dusk. Addison commercial parkways want cheap, replaceable pop-ups that survive the next landscape crew.

Questions we get on this job
Can you just swap a broken head?
Often yes. If the pipe is also cracked below the head, we say so before we bury it.
Why does my new head still mist?
Pressure is too high or the nozzle is too small. North Dallas city pressure varies by street. We add a regulator or change the nozzle.
Do you stock common brands?
Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, and compatible bodies. We match what is in the ground when we can.
