Hillsborough County
Irrigation rust in Carrollwood
Carrollwood is an established community in northwest Hillsborough around Lake Carroll and Dale Mabry Highway, with mature neighborhoods and newer subdivisions to the north.
Hillsborough County runs reclaimed water to much of the northwest county, Carrollwood and Northdale included. Many established homes around Lake Carroll irrigate with it and never stain; the ones that do usually have a private irrigation well, sometimes feeding a lakefront yard. A free water test settles it.

What our customers say
[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].
