Sprinkler repair in Holly
Why Holly systems break the way they do.
Heads, leaks and valves are most of the repair work anywhere. Holly adds a few problems of its own, because of where the water comes from and how the ground rolls.
Zones that fade on a well
Most homes out in the township are on private wells, so the pump decides how much water a zone gets. Put too many heads on one zone and the far ones barely clear the grass. We check pressure and flow before we blame a head, then split the zone or change its nozzles.
Orange crust in the nozzles
A USGS survey found more iron than the EPA's staining guideline in most of the Oakland County wells it sampled, and iron leaves deposits wherever water sits and dries. In a sprinkler that shows up as crusted nozzles and orange arcs on the siding. We clean or swap the nozzles, and Rid-O-Rust treats the cause.
Puddles at the bottom of the hill
The township's master plan puts this area in the hilly zone of glacial moraines. On a slope, the water left in a pipe drains out of the lowest head after every cycle and keeps that spot soggy. A head with a check valve, or a valve that stops weeping, usually ends it.
Systems older than the sod
Half the housing in Holly Township was built before 1990, and the village has historic streets older than that. Older systems hide their valve boxes under sod and mulch, and heads settle a little lower every year. We find buried valves and raise heads back to grade.

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.

How a repair visit runs in Holly.
Text a photo of the problem to (810) 423-9513 and tell us whether the system runs on village water, a well or the lake. It changes what we bring and where we look first. We call back to set a time.
On the day, show us the controller and the irrigation shutoff. On a well that shutoff is usually in the basement near the pressure tank; on village water it is usually near the meter. We run each zone, mark what we find, walk you through it, and only then dig. The turf goes back when we finish.

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
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!
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!
Questions
What people ask about sprinkler repair in Holly.
If yours is not here, call or text (810) 423-9513.
Do you repair sprinkler systems in Holly that someone else installed?
Yes. Misty's repairs systems in the village and across the township no matter who put them in. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what fits before we change anything. Call or text (810) 423-9513.
Why does one zone go weak when someone is in the shower?
Because the house and the sprinklers share one well pump. When both pull at once, the pressure drops and the heads at the end of the zone stop reaching. Running the sprinklers while the house is quiet often fixes it. If the zone is weak even then, it may have more heads than the pump can feed, and we can split it in two.
The lowest head in the yard stays wet. Is that a leak?
Maybe not. If the spot is only soggy right after the system runs, it is usually the pipe draining downhill through that head, which happens on any sloped lot. If it is wet all the time, or water stands in the valve box, a valve is likely seeping or a fitting is cracked. Running the zone and opening the valve box tells us which.
What is the orange crust on my sprinkler nozzles?
Iron from well water, left behind every time the nozzle dries. It narrows the opening, so the spray turns ragged and short, and the lawn browns between heads. We clean or replace the nozzles. To stop both the crust and the orange marks on the house, see rust stain prevention.
