Signs You Need Well Services
Are you noticing low water pressure from taps or appliances? How about soap scum buildup on dishes, sinks, or faucets?
Issues with your well water supply are often accompanied by water quality issues or other warning signs, including:
- Discolored water: Colored or cloudy water can be caused by rust or sediment in your well or pipes.
- Grinding noises from a well pump: Clicking or grinding sounds from your tank or pump indicate possible damage.
- Gurgling faucets: The culprit is often trapped air bubbles in a well’s water line.
- Foul-smelling water: Bacteria, sulfur, or other contaminants can impact the taste and clarity of your water supply.
Our expert plumbing repairs cover a range of well issues, from scale buildup to well pump malfunctions and water quality concerns.
Well Pump Repair & Replacement
A well pump is a crucial component that draws water from your well into your home, directly affecting your water pressure and flow. If your well pump malfunctions, it can lead to issues like low or inconsistent water pressure.
You may need to replace your well pump if:
- Water flow is intermittent or stops completely.
- There’s a significant break in the well line.
- Your well pump is corroded from heat or friction.
Well Water Filtration & Treatment
Testing your well water is essential for home safety, as it’s generally untreated before entering your home. To ensure high-quality water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, consider installing a whole-home water filter or water softening system.
Our well water filtration and treatment services include:
- Well water filtration: A whole-home water filter removes contaminants like silt, rust, dirt, and even heavy metals.
- Well water softeners: Whole-home water softeners condition water, reducing mineral buildup in appliances like water heaters and dishwashers.
- Well water purification: Point-of-use filters purify drinking water, removing particles from groundwater.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy a home with well water?
A home with well water guarantees that you’ll always have a reliable source of safe drinking water since homeowners have direct control over the treatment of their well supply.
If you buy a home with well water, you’ll want to conduct regular water quality tests to check for lead, nitrates, and bacteria.
What psi should a well pressure tank be?
Pounds per square inch, or psi, measure the pressure exerted on one square inch of surface area. For home well systems, it’s recommended that the well tank pressure be set to 2 psi below the pressure switch’s cut-on setting.
For example, if the pressure switch is set to cut on at 40 psi, the well tank pressure should be set to 38 psi.
What's the life expectancy of a well pump?
A properly maintained well pump can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Its specific lifespan depends on frequency of use, past repairs, and overall wear and tear.
What are the benefits of water filtration?
Whole-home water filters encourage a variety of benefits, including better-tasting water, healthier skin, cleaner clothes, and less money spent on bottled water.
