Sprinkler Head Repair in Willis is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Willis is pines and sand, with new houses on I-45 and older yards in town. One valve often tries to water both sun and shade.

Sprinkler Head Repair in Willis
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 in the sun, thin shade grass under pines, Bermuda on acreage 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. Conroe sand over clay, pine duff on top 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. Willis in-town, newer I-45 sections, older lots on SH 75 Typical irrigation failures here: sun and shade on one zone, pine straw in screens, sandy trenches, wells north of town

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.

- Sand in a Willis valve box — Sand on the diaphragm holds the valve open. We clean the box and rebuild the valve.
- Montgomery stations that should not share a runtime — The uphill strip and the low walk are different zones even when someone wired them together.
- Sun and shade on one Willis station — The pines stay wet and the open lawn burns. Split the zone or admit the compromise.
- Willis pipe coupled until it leaks again — A run of couplings in sugar sand is a replacement. We show you the pipe first.
- Cut and Shoot nozzles on a tired well — Mist at the barn means the nozzle is too big. Smaller nozzles, then a look at the pump.
