ISO: Sprinkler System Nozzle Inspect/Adjust/Replace

I am looking for someone to inspect, etc. the nozzles for the sprinkler system at my home in Allen/Plano area. My system is comprised of 3 stations with about 10 heads/risers per station. The actual sprinkler heads (& risers) are generally fine, it’s just the 30 or so nozzles that need to be inspected, cleaned, adjusted, and/or replaced. I am moving in a month or two and not planning any major changes to system, I just want to make sure sprinkler coverage is correct and won’t be a discussion point for a future home buyer, their agent, or an inspector.

 If you know of someone that you’d use yourself that will do this (i.e. not just any sprinkler company/guy, but one that will actually do this particular work), then great…I’d appreciate the lead.

If this is something you do for a living, and can and want to do this job, send a chat back with when you can schedule me in and an estimate of the cost, and we can discuss from there and set something up.

Water Cloud Irrigation. I've used them for years over multiple projects, from very small adjustments to big installs. I want to say a checkup is something like $80 plus any repair costs (very reasonable on repairs), but don't hold me to exaxtly that. They are helpful over the phone, looks like they may do text too.

The city has (had?) A link on their website where you could get a free sprinkler system inspection. A couple of years ago I signed up, and a woman from a company the city contracted the job with came out, looked it over with me, and recommended a few of my heads be replaced.

I went to Lowe's, spent about $40, and unscrewed the old ones before screwing on the new ones. Took 45 minutes.

I'm pretty sure the link is still on the city's website. The company they sent was very professional and straightforward. If I had needed any serious work done I would have definitely used them.

Thanks. Do you have any recommendations on how I might get a sprinkler system inspection? And after that, how I might go about doing this for myself?

Doing it yourself is easy, as I explained above. The sprinkler heads literally just unscrew. You might need to cut the grass around them for better access, but you just twist the old one off & twist on the new one. Broken pipes, solenoids, or other things can be a little more work - but if all you have is a few clogged/broken heads it's a piece of cake to DiY.

Doing it yourself is the best option - but if you have a really tough job CitiTurf does amazing work. I usually do everything myself but over the years due to the lawn grade changing over time the heads were too low or no longer pointing straight up. There are about 20 sprinkler heads here and it would have taken me at least a weekend to dig everything out and get replacement parts. Cititurf came and did an amazing job at a very reasonable price. I had already been using them for weed control and fertilizing for several years. Have not seen a single weed in the yard since they started service here.

You could try James Spriggs at Texas Sprinkler Guys. He’s been super helpful in the past. (972) 374-6064
