St. Augustine swallows a pop-up on these slopes. Raise it so the arc hits grass, not the walk.
Sprinkler Head Repair in Montgomery is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Montgomery is west. Lake-area slopes and in-town lots. Water runs downhill if the arc is lazy.
SH 105 west of Conroe. Say lake side or town. Nearby landmarks: Montgomery, SH 105.
Sprinkler Head Repair in Montgomery
Willis head repair is pine duff in the screen, heads buried in sand, and nozzles sized for a pressure the well does not have.
We pull the head and flush before we talk about a pump. Half of the “low pressure” calls in the pines are a packed screen. The other half are real, and the gauge tells them apart.
New subdivisions along I-45 and SH 75 get matched nozzles. Older Willis lots get raised heads so the next mow does not harvest them.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine and shade St. Augustine wants a deep soak. Bermuda forgives a miss for a day. Mixing them on one valve is how one strip stays swampy and the other crunches.
Soil. Sandy loam, lake-area slopes to the west Willis pine straw packs screens, and sandy trenches will not hold a wide hole. Sun and shade on one valve is the other half of the call.
Housing. Montgomery and the roads toward Lake Conroe Typical irrigation failures here: slope spray, wells, pine shade

How a visit works
- Walk the yard We run every zone in Willis. A dry strip, a mist, and a head that never comes up are three different repairs.
- Find the fault Heads, valves, underground pipe, and the low-voltage wire. Willis sand over clay, with pine straw that packs a nozzle solid.
- Repair We replace the part that failed. Spray heads stay with spray heads. Rotors stay with rotors.
- Set the timer Night watering, rest between cycles, rain sensor on. Noon misting is not a program.

- A Dobbin sensor where the porch stays dry — Move it into the rain. A dry sensor is why the well runs all night.
- One Willis station and a yard half brown — The green half is the control. One station is a head, a valve, or a break in the sand.
- A Montgomery fitting that pulled apart — Slope and a shallow trench pull fittings. We cut back to sound pipe and test.
- Pine straw is why the Willis head will not throw — Pull the nozzle and flush. Straw packs a screen until it looks like a dead pump.
