We're The Punctual Plumber. If we're late, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.
Well Services We Offer
Well Pump Repair
Low pressure, no water, a pump that won't shut off, or a breaker that keeps tripping. We check the pump, pressure switch, control box, wiring and tank, find the real problem, and fix it.
Well Pump Replacement
We replace submersible and jet pumps, sized for your well's depth, how much water it produces, and how much water your household uses. The right pump for a low-yield well is not the same as the right pump for a strong one.
Pressure Tanks and Pressure Switches
A waterlogged or failing pressure tank makes the pump turn on and off constantly, which burns it out early. We test and replace pressure tanks, pressure switches and gauges, and set the system to the right pressure.
Well Water Treatment
Most well water around here is hard, and a lot of it carries iron or a sulfur smell. We install water softeners, iron filters and whole-home filtration so your water is easier on your fixtures, appliances and water heater.

Well Water in Delaware and Union Counties
Two very different kinds of wells. In much of the western part of Delaware County, wells are drilled into limestone and usually produce plenty of water. Through the middle of the county, many wells are drilled into shale that yields only a few gallons per minute. On a low-yield well, the pump, pressure tank and settings have to be matched carefully, or you'll run the well dry and burn out the pump.
Hard water, iron and sulfur. Well water in central Ohio is often very hard, much harder than treated city water, and many wells also have iron (orange stains) or hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg smell). That's hard on pumps, pressure switches, water heaters and fixtures. Treatment protects all of it.
Growth meets country living. Many homes in Berkshire, Brown, Kingston, Trenton and Harlem townships, and out toward Ostrander, Richwood and Marysville, still rely on private wells, even as new neighborhoods go up nearby. We work on both.
