Well Pumps & Tanks in Mount Airy
The Frederick County Plumbers You Can Trust
Isn’t it irritating when you go to take a shower and the water all but trickles out of the showerhead? What about when you need a fill a pot with water to start cooking and it takes several minutes? Low water pressure from a well pump is inconvenient, but it’s not something you have to be stuck with.
How Do Well Pumps Work?
Your well uses a pressure tank as a reservoir that holds and moves water through your home’s plumbing system. When the pressure in the tank reaches a certain level, the pump is stopped by a switch. The water is then pulled out of the tank and the system resets. Once the reservoir levels fall to a certain point, the pumps turns back on to refill the tank.

- No water pressure at all

- Constantly running pump, usually signaled by high water bills

Diagnosing a Well Pump Problem
In order to determine the necessary course of action, such as if you need a repair or an entirely new system, the Mount Airy plumbing experts at Reed and Son Services perform a thorough inspection of your well tank system.
We begin by checking your well pump for signs of corrosion or any loose or bad connections. Then, we test your system to see if it is near the end of its life and will, therefore, need replacing. To get a better idea of the condition of your well pump, we continue with a detailed inspection of the water tank and bladder piece.
