Well Pump Installation in Arundel, ME

An oversized pump can drain a modest well and an undersized one leaves you with weak showers. A good installation in Arundel starts with those numbers and ends with a system that runs quietly and efficiently.
Well Pump Installation for Arundel homes
Public water is limited, so private wells are the norm for most houses in town. Iron and manganese staining, hard water and sulfur smell are the usual complaints, with radon and arsenic as the health questions.
Inland ground is less affected by salt than the coast, though wells near tidal creeks may still deserve a sodium and chloride check. Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Lyman and Dayton surround the town, which keeps it close to several service routes.
What we see in York County wells
Inland drilled wells in York County range from shallow to several hundred feet, and the pump should match the depth. For a Arundel installation, we use the drilling record or a measured depth to set the pump and size the pipe.
What we check first in Arundel
- Well depth, casing length and static water level
- Existing pressure tank size and condition
- A bacteria and nitrate test after installation
How it works
How we handle well pump installation, step by step
- 1
Collect the well data
We gather the well depth, casing length, static water level and yield from the driller's record or by measurement. Those numbers set the starting point for the whole design.
- 2
Select the equipment
The pressure tank, switch and controls are picked to match the pump's output. A mismatch here causes short cycling, so we pay close attention.
- 3
Install it cleanly
We install the pump at the right depth, connect the pressure tank, switch and electrical, and test every joint. The wellhead is sealed to keep out surface water and insects.
- 4
Start-up and testing
You leave with a working system, a note on what was installed and a plan for testing the water. If treatment is needed, we can add it next.
What shapes the job in Arundel
The pressure tank, switch and controls complete the system. We select a tank that suits the pump's flow and size the pressure range for your plumbing, which is part of making a York County installation run quietly.
When a new pump installation makes sense
- A new well has just been drilled and needs equipment
- A system that has been patched several times
- Switching from a jet pump to a submersible
- A pump of unknown age with no records
