Head Adjustment

Sprinkler Systems in Connecticut


Heads that spray onto pavement, driveways, or the side of the house waste water and don't irrigate the lawn. Heads that are too low to pop above the grass don't distribute correctly. We adjust arc, radius, and grade height on every head that isn't performing correctly.

What's Included

  • Zone run with observation of every head's arc, throw, and pop-up height
  • Arc and radius adjustment on adjustable nozzles
  • Head-body repositioning or riser replacement where head height is the issue
  • Head replacement where the body is cracked or the wiper seal is failed

Common Questions About Head Adjustment

My sprinkler head sprays water straight up instead of in an arc. What happened?

The nozzle insert is either clogged, missing, or installed with the wrong part. Rotor heads have replaceable nozzles that set the arc and radius — if the nozzle fell out or was removed during servicing, the head will just spray straight up. We replace the nozzle with the correct insert for that zone's coverage requirement.

One of my heads stays up after the zone shuts off. Is that a problem?

Yes — that means the wiper seal inside the head body has failed and isn't retracting the riser. A head that stays up gets hit by lawn equipment and eventually breaks the riser or cracks the body. We replace the head body, which is a quick fix.
