Hillsborough County · Tampa Bay team
We remove sprinkler rust from Lutz homes, communities and businesses, and install prevention systems on properties that irrigate from wells.
Lutz stretches north of Tampa along US-41 and Dale Mabry Highway, with lakefront homes, horse properties and newer communities.
Pasco County's reclaimed water systems serve parts of the Land O' Lakes and Lutz area, while many lakefront and larger-lot properties irrigate from private wells. Iron staining comes from the wells, and we'll test your water for free.
Water source information from Southwest Florida Water Management District.
Homes on the area's lakes with fences, walks and walls near the irrigation.
Big irrigated yards that spray fences, barns and long driveways.
HOA entrances, sidewalks and vinyl fencing.
Lutz is served by our Tampa Bay team, based in Seminole.

After[Rust Busters was] a lifesaver!! I did a big landscaping project for my animal hospital and the irrigation that was installed caused iron staining all over my property. Luckily, [they were] able to remove all the staining and install a system into my well so the iron could be contained, preventing any future staining! [They were] very professional … and incredibly kind to my entire staff. Would highly recommend working with this company!!! They also have great, affordable pricing.
I have had the opportunity to work with [Rust Busters] and collaborate with [them] on many projects. Friendly, courteous, and dependable. So much of Florida water has a rust problem coming through irrigation systems that creates an eyesore for the owner. After installing new paver driveways for people, no one wants to see rust on their pavers and so we refer [Rust Busters].
[Rust Busters was] very accommodating. The service and [their] workmanship is a 5 star. I highly recommend [them].
