Fix Broken Heads and Restore Even Coverage
Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service repairs sprinkler systems for homeowners dealing with leaks, broken heads, and controller issues.
Your sprinkler head shoots water sideways across the driveway instead of covering the grass, or one zone won't turn on no matter how many times you reset the timer. These issues waste water and leave sections of your lawn dry while others stay soggy. Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service repairs broken heads, valves, leaks, wiring issues, and controller problems for homeowners, restoring system efficiency so your lawn gets the coverage it needs.
Sprinkler systems break down for predictable reasons. Lawnmower blades clip heads that sit too high. Soil shifting in Central Texas cracks underground pipes or pulls fittings loose. Heat degrades rubber diaphragms inside valve bodies. Wiring corrodes where splices weren't waterproofed correctly. When one part fails, the rest of the system compensates poorly, leading to uneven watering and higher bills. Repair work begins with testing each zone to identify which component is malfunctioning and what caused it to fail.
If your sprinkler system isn't working the way it should, reach out to Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service to schedule a repair visit.
Repairs Address the Root Cause of the Problem
Freytag Irrigation inspects your system, checking heads for clogs or damage, testing valves for proper operation, and tracing wiring from the controller to each solenoid. You'll know within the visit what's broken, why it failed, and what needs to be done to restore function. Most repairs involve replacing cracked heads, rebuilding valve assemblies, splicing damaged wire, or reprogramming controllers that lost their settings during a power outage.
Once repairs are complete, your system will deliver water evenly across all zones again. Broken heads stop spraying water onto pavement or siding. Leaking valves stop dripping between cycles. Zones that wouldn't activate start running on schedule. Your lawn receives consistent moisture, and you stop paying for water that never reaches the grass.
Repairs are done on-site using parts that match your system's brand and specifications. If a component is discontinued, you'll receive a compatible replacement that integrates with your existing setup. Scheduling repairs as soon as issues appear prevents water waste during peak watering season and keeps minor problems from damaging other parts of the system.
Questions That Come Up Before Scheduling Repairs
What causes sprinkler heads to break?
Lawnmower impact is the most common cause, but heads also crack from freeze damage, UV exposure, and soil movement. Heads that sit too high are more vulnerable to damage during routine mowing.
How do I know if a valve is failing?
Valves that leak between cycles, won't open when the timer activates, or cause low pressure in one zone are usually failing. Freytag Irrigation & Pool Service tests valve operation and rebuilds or replaces faulty units as needed.
Why does one zone have lower pressure than the others?
Low pressure in a single zone usually means a clogged head, a partially closed valve, or a leak somewhere in that zone's supply line. Testing each component helps locate the restriction.
When should I repair my system instead of replacing it?
You should repair when only a few components are damaged and the rest of the system still functions well. Replacement makes more sense when multiple zones are failing or when the system design no longer matches your lawn layout.
What happens if I wait to fix a leak?
Waiting allows water to erode soil around pipes, which can lead to more leaks and sinkholes. Leaking valves also waste water every day and drive up utility costs until they're repaired.
