Plumbing problems don't wait - neither do we!
If you’re on well water, your pressure tank is doing more work than you realize. It’s what keeps water flowing smoothly when you turn on a faucet without making your well pump kick on every single time. When that tank starts failing, you’ll know it fast.
The signs are pretty obvious. Your pump runs constantly. Water pressure jumps all over the place. It’s strong one second, weak the next. You might hear the pump cycling on and off way too often. Or you walk down to your basement and there’s water pooling around the tank.
Most tanks around here last 10 to 15 years before they need replacing. The bladder inside the tank eventually wears out. That bladder is what separates the water from the air pressure that pushes water through your house. When it ruptures, the tank can’t hold pressure anymore and your whole system goes haywire.
We’ve replaced a lot of these in the rural areas around Holmen where everyone’s on wells. Trempealeau, Alma, out on the county roads, since well water is common out there. A failing pressure tank puts extra strain on your well pump, which is way more expensive to replace than the tank itself.
Replacing a pressure tank takes us a few hours. We shut off your water, drain the old tank, disconnect it, and install the new one. We size the new tank correctly for your household and make sure the pressure settings match what your system needs. Then we test everything to make sure your water pressure is steady and your pump isn’t short cycling.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Consistent water pressure, quieter operation, and your well pump only runs when it actually needs to. Don’t wait until the tank fails completely and leaves you without water.
