Broken Sprinkler Head Replacement in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Repair and Troubleshooting

Broken Sprinkler Head Replacement

Cracked, sunken, stuck or sheared sprinkler heads replaced with matching parts and adjusted so spray reaches the right place again.

The most common irrigation repair is also the one that wastes the most water. A mower clips a head, a car rolls over one or the plastic simply gets old and cracks, and suddenly a geyser shoots into the air or a head sits tilted and sprays the street. Water pours out of the break and the lawn around it floods, while the area the head used to cover goes dry.

We replace broken heads with the same type, brand where possible and nozzle size so output matches the heads around it. Mixing different nozzles on one zone gives uneven watering, so matching matters. We adjust arc and radius, set height so mowers pass over, and check the riser and fittings below for damage. If many heads are cracked or the plastic has faded and gone brittle, we tell you honestly whether replacing all of them is the smarter fix.

Matched replacement

Same type and nozzle output keeps the zone balanced, instead of creating new wet and dry areas.

Adjusted properly

Arc, radius and height are set for coverage and so mowers pass over without clipping.

Check below the head

Risers and fittings are inspected, because damage often hides under the broken head.

Honest advice

If the whole set is aging, we say so and explain when replacing all heads makes sense.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your yard and what you want, a new system, a repair or a tune-up, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and inspect

    We walk the property, find the water source and valves, test pressure and flow, look at every head and zone and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Design and explain

    We explain your options for zones, heads, drip, controllers and savings, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the lawn, driveways and beds and mark every head, valve and pipe run before we dig.

  5. 05

    Install or repair

    We install or repair pipe, valves, heads and wiring with the right parts for each zone, flush the lines and keep the site tidy as we work.

  6. 06

    Start up and care

    We program the controller, test every zone with you, walk through watering and winterizing in plain steps and set a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Head Replacement FAQ

Why is water shooting out of my yard?

A head has probably been cracked or sheared. Turn off the zone or system and call us to replace it.

Can I replace a head myself?

Often, but matching the type and nozzle and avoiding damage to the riser takes some care. We can do it quickly.

Why do heads keep getting broken?

Mowers, vehicles and age are the usual causes. Setting height correctly and using more durable heads helps.

Should I replace all my heads?

If most are old, brittle or mismatched, replacing them together saves repeat calls and improves coverage.

Will new heads change my watering?

They can, if the nozzle differs. We match the output so the zone stays balanced.
