Well Pump and Well Tank Services in Franklin, MA

Our Repair Process

When you call our well experts at G&C Plumbing and Heating, we follow a simple, straightforward process that gets your Franklin water well pump back on track.

Step 1: Assessment & Testing

When you call our team, we get stared by checking on the water pressure and flow, confirming power to the pump, and testing the switch cut-in/cut-out settings. We’ll also get started measuring the tank’s pre-charge and look for leaks or backflow. If you have a cistern or an older jet pump, we’ll test for prime and suction leaks as well.

Step 2: Clear Options & Pricing

Once we know what’s going on with your well and pump, you’ll get straightforward results and an action plan. We lay out your repair versus replacement options, our expert recommendations and help you choose the path that makes sense for your home and budget.

Step 3: Repair or Replacement

For smaller fixes, we come equipped with common switches, gauges, valves, and fittings on our truck so we can get to work. If the pump itself needs replacement, we’ll safely pull the well, install the new unit, and set it at the right depth with proper torque arrestors and secure wire splices.

Step 4: Protection & Tune-Up

We wrap up the job by setting your pressure switch accurately, matching the tank pre-charge, and checking the system for smooth operation. If your equipment took a beating from your water quality or power supply, we can also recommend filtration or surge protection to help avoid future breakdowns and keep your system working at its best.

Repair vs. Replacement: Our Rule of Thumb

Not every well problem will mean you need to invest in a new Franklin well pump or tank. Sometimes a repair is all it takes to restore the efficiency and functionality of your well. Here’s a good rule of thumb to consider:

• Repair when parts are still serviceable, the pump is mid-life, and the tank bladder holds air.
• Replace when the pump is near or past its typical lifespan, repairs keep stacking up, the bladder has failed, or short-cycling has already worn down the motor.

Our team will come out to lay out both options so you can see which one will save money while offering the most value i the long-run.
