Broken Riser Repair

Risers connect your sprinkler heads to the underground pipe. When they break, you get flooding, geysers, or heads that will not pop up properly.

Why Risers Break

Foot traffic stepping on sprinkler heads
Lawn mower and equipment damage
Age and brittleness of PVC
Ground movement and settling
Freeze/thaw cycles

The Swing Joint Solution

We recommend upgrading to flexible swing joints when replacing broken risers. Swing joints allow the sprinkler head to flex under pressure instead of snapping off, dramatically reducing future breakage.

The flexible elbow connection absorbs impact from foot traffic and lawn equipment, protecting both the sprinkler head and the underground pipe from damage.
