Well tank and pump problems to watch for

Most homes across northern and western Michigan run on a well. When the well tank or pump starts to fail you notice it fast. Here are the signs.

Common signs

Water pressure that drops or surges. The pump kicking on and off rapidly. Sputtering faucets or air in the lines. These often point to the tank or pump.

Why it happens

Well tanks lose their air charge over time and pumps wear out. In our rural northern Michigan communities many homes depend on a well, so this is common work for us across Lake, Manistee, Mason and Wexford counties.

We keep your water flowing

We test the system, find the problem and replace the tank or pump when needed. You get your steady water pressure back.

Quick tips from our crew

  • Watch for pressure that surges or drops. That points to the tank.
  • A pump that clicks on and off fast needs a look soon.
  • Know your well basics so you can describe the problem when you call.
