If you walk outside to a geyser at the curb, you are not imagining the water bill spike. A single broken sprinkler head can waste hundreds of gallons before lunch — and Houston heat does not wait for you to “get around to it.”
Shut it down without breaking more parts
- Pause the timer — Use the rain-delay or off switch so other zones do not keep cycling.
- Manual valve — If you know where the zone valve is, the bleed screw or shutoff can stop a stuck-on zone.
- Main irrigation shutoff — Last resort when water is still pouring and you cannot isolate the zone.
Why heads fail on Houston lawns
Mower strikes, edging along sidewalks, freeze cracks, and brittle plastic from years of sun are the usual suspects. Pop-ups along the street strip take the most abuse.
What a proper repair includes
We do more than screw on a new body. The riser, nozzle type, and arc need to match the rest of the zone so you do not create a dry corner next to a wet sidewalk. Learn more about our broken sprinkler head repair.
