Clogged Nozzle and Filter Cleaning

Clogged nozzles, screens and filters cleaned or replaced so spray patterns return to normal and coverage is even again.

Small bits cause big sprinkler problems. Sand, grit, algae, insects and mineral scale can block a nozzle opening or choke a filter screen, so spray comes out as a dribble, a lopsided fan or not at all. Wells and pond water make it worse. The lawn under a clogged head dries out and turns brown, while the rest of the zone keeps getting watered normally, and the cause is often hiding in a spot no one has looked at closely.

We pull each nozzle and screen, clean them and rinse the line. Worn or damaged nozzles are replaced with matching ones. We also check filters at the head, at the valve and at the supply for drip systems, clean or replace the elements and flush the lines. Where debris is a constant problem, we add or upgrade filtration, and we look for the source, such as a cracked pipe pulling in dirt. A brief tune-up like this often restores a zone to like new.

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.

    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

    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

Nozzle and Filter Cleaning FAQ

Why is my sprinkler spraying weakly?

A clogged nozzle or screen is a common cause. Cleaning or replacing them often fixes it.

How often should nozzles be cleaned?

Once a year during a tune-up, and more often with well or pond water.

Why does my drip system clog?

Fine debris, minerals and algae can block emitters. Clean filters and regular flushing prevent it.

Can I clean nozzles myself?

Yes, with care. Turn the head, pull the screen and rinse it. We can do it quickly across the whole system.

Will cleaning fix a bad pattern?

Often. If the nozzle is worn or damaged, we replace it with a matching one.
