New construction, a new well or a long-awaited upgrade all call for the same careful installation. For a York County property, we collect the well data, select the equipment and install it to a clean, serviceable standard.
Well Pump Installation for Wells homes
Wells combines long sandy beaches, salt marsh and conservation land with quiet wooded roads and farms inland of the highway. Many homes beyond the main corridor are on private wells, and some neighborhoods have no public water at all.
Drilled bedrock wells inland can carry arsenic, uranium and radon, so testing matters more than guessing. A buyer looking at a seasonal Wells home should ask how it is winterized and when the well was last sampled.
What we see in York County wells
Coastal wells are often moderately deep and sometimes in bedrock with limited yield. Near Wells beaches, marsh and inland roads, we size a new Wells pump conservatively, use corrosion-resistant fittings where salt air is a factor and pay attention to wellhead protection.
What we check first in Wells
- Distance and elevation from the well to the house
- Existing pressure tank size and condition
- Arsenic and radon if the well is new or has not been tested
How it works
How we handle well pump installation, step by step
- 1
Collect the well data
A good installation begins with facts about the well. We find out what the well can supply and how deep the water sits before we pick any equipment.
- 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 Wells
Wire and pipe are not places to economize. Properly sized copper wire, new drop pipe and quality splices make the difference between a pump that lasts for years and one that fails at the first drought or surge.
When a new pump installation makes sense
- A new well has just been drilled and needs equipment
- Water pressure that no longer keeps up with demand
- A property that is changing from seasonal to year-round use
- Plans to add treatment that requires more flow
