Wells

Well systems, done to the MAX.

Homes on a private well depend on a pressure system to turn a pump’s output into steady household pressure. When that system goes out of adjustment or a component fails, the symptoms are unmistakable, pressure that surges and drops in the shower, a pump that clicks on and off every few seconds, or water that disappears entirely.

We are well system certified and diagnose the plumbing side of these systems, pressure tanks, pressure switches, gauges, check valves, and the associated piping. Just as importantly, we tell you when the problem is not on the plumbing side at all and is instead the pump, the wiring, or the well itself, so you are not paying us to replace parts that were never the issue.

Rapid pump cycling is the most common thing we are called for, and it is worth taking seriously, every start and stop wears the pump, and a waterlogged pressure tank can destroy an otherwise healthy pump surprisingly fast.

FAQ

Well System Plumbing FAQs

Straight answers to what people ask us most about this service.

Why does my well pump keep turning on and off?

Rapid cycling is nearly always a waterlogged pressure tank, the air charge has been lost, so there is no reserve volume between the switch’s cut-in and cut-out points. A failing pressure switch or a leaking check valve can produce the same symptom. It is worth fixing quickly, because cycling wears pumps out fast.

How long does a well pressure tank last?

Commonly 8 to 15 years. A tank that has been running short-cycled, or one that was never set to the correct precharge for the switch, will fall well short of that.

Do you work on the well pump itself?

We handle the plumbing side of the system, pressure tanks, switches, controls, and piping. When the diagnosis points to the pump or the well, we will tell you plainly so you can bring in the right specialist rather than paying for parts that will not solve it.

Should I test my well water?

Yes, and periodically. Well water is not treated by a municipality, and iron, sulfur, sediment, and hardness vary around Davie and Forsyth County. Forsyth and Davie both run private-well sampling programs. Our water testing is free.
