Repair in Fenton
What breaks here, and how it hides.
Fenton has city lots on city water, township homes on private wells and lake lots in between. The repair work is the same craft on all of them. What changes is how a problem shows itself, and how long it can go unnoticed.
A quarter's worth of leak
The city reads meters in March, June, September and December and bills the month after. Sewer consumption comes off the same reading. A zone that starts leaking just after the June read can run until the October bill, charged as water and again as sewer.
On a well, the pump pays for it
Out in the township, plenty of systems run off a private well. A stuck valve or a cracked riser there never shows on a bill. It shows as a well pump that keeps cycling, pressure that sags in the house, and more of the orange iron stain that local well water is known for.
Sand, loam and muck in one yard
Soil maps around Fenton show mostly loam, with sandy pockets that drain fast and muck in low ground that stays wet from fall into June. A brown patch on a sandy rise and a soggy corner in a low spot can sit on the same zone. Each needs a different fix.
Older lots, older parts
Half the homes in the city were built in 1981 or earlier, about one in seven before 1940. Township homes run newer, with a median year of 1992. A system that went in with a 1990s house has been through more than twenty-five winters, and valves and heads are where that age shows first.
What you get
A repair visit, start to finish.
Every visit follows the same order, so nothing gets missed and you know what you are paying for before we start.
- Every zone run
Each zone run and watched, not just the one you called about.
- Cause found
Dry spots traced to heads, dead zones to valves or wires, wet spots to leaks.
- Explained first
What we found and what it takes, before any work starts.
- Heads and leaks fixed
Broken heads and risers replaced, leaks dug and repaired, heads aimed.
- Valves and wiring
Stuck valves cleaned or rebuilt, failed solenoids and cut wires replaced.
- Put back
The zone tested again, the turf replaced, and nothing left behind.
Try it
What a few bad heads do to a lawn.
Switch between before and after a tune-up. The brown patches, the soaked spot and the numbers all come from where the water lands.
- Knocked sideways. Watering the driveway, not the lawn.
- Clogged nozzle. Falls short, so the middle goes brown.
- Sunk head. The turf grew over it and blocks the spray.
- Broken head. No spray, just a puddle and a water bill.

Call or text (810) 423-9513 with what you are seeing: a geyser by the drive, a soggy stripe, a zone that will not quit. Tell us if the system runs on city water, a well or the lake. Since we are based in Fenton, there is no travel to fit in ahead of your visit.
If a zone will not shut off, turn the controller off first. If water still runs, close the shutoff for the sprinklers, usually a valve in the basement or utility room where the line leaves the house. On a well or lake system, switch off the pump that feeds the sprinklers as well.
At the visit we run every zone from the controller, trace the cause, and tell you what we found and what it takes before any work starts. Then we fix it, run the zone again to prove it, and put the turf back.

Misty’s Irrigation came out to repair and inspect our lawn irrigation system and did a great job. Very knowledgeable, professional, and just great people to work with. It’s always nice being able to support a local Fenton business, especially when they provide this kind of service. Highly recommend!
Misty’s did some repair work at a fair price. Staff was very pleasant, on time and cleaned up well in addition to excellent communication. Will use them in the future for any sprinkler system needs without it a doubt!
Quick to respond to phone message. Scheduled service call and took great care of my sprinkler system, replacing 2 sprinkler heads and checked all of the others. I highly recommended this company for their services
Questions
What people ask about sprinkler repair in Fenton.
If yours is not here, call or text (810) 423-9513.
Can Misty's fix a sprinkler system in Fenton that someone else installed?
Yes. Most of what Misty's does around town is service and repair on systems other people put in, from small city yards to lake lots in the township. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what fits and what it takes to swap it.
Our city water bill jumped. Could it be the sprinklers?
It could. The city bills quarterly, so one bill covers about three months, and summer is when water use runs highest anyway. Walk the yard for a patch that stays soggy, a valve box with water standing in it, or a stripe greener than the rest. If nothing obvious turns up, we can run every zone and walk the lines.
One corner of the lawn browns every summer. Is that the soil?
Sometimes. Sandy ground drains fast and browns first. But a brown corner is more often a head that is tilted, sunk or clogged, so the water never reaches it. We check the heads first, then set the run time for the ground on that zone.
Our sprinklers run off a well and leave orange marks. Will a repair fix that?
A repair stops water landing where it should not, like a tilted head soaking the siding. The orange itself comes from iron in the well water, and no repair removes it. For that, we install Rid-O-Rust treatment on the sprinkler line.
Is it worth fixing a leak this late in the season?
For a broken head or a geyser, yes, because it wastes water every run until the fall blowout. If it is October and the leak is small, we can note it at the blowout and fix it at the spring startup.
