Pressure Tank Replacements
Expert in preassure tank replacement runs smoothly and the pump stays protected.
About This Service
A pressure tank supports the entire well system, and when it begins to fail, water pressure becomes inconsistent and the well pump works harder than it should. Sea Glass Plumbing replaces worn or undersized tanks with properly matched equipment so the home runs smoothly and the pump stays protected.
Warning Signs of a Failing Pressure Tank
Pump short cycling is the most common sign. The pump switches on and off rapidly because the tank can no longer hold the right air charge. Other early signs include sputtering faucets, unstable pressure, and longer recovery times between cycles. A tank that feels extremely heavy or shows visible corrosion usually indicates a waterlogged interior and needs replacement.
What the Replacement Process Looks Like
The process is clean and efficient. Water is turned off for a short period while the old tank is drained and removed. Sea Glass Plumbing handles disposal so there is no mess left behind. A new, properly sized tank is set in place, secured, and connected to the system. Once filled and pressurized, the water is turned back on and the entire system is tested for steady pressure and leak-free operation. Most replacements take only a couple of hours.
Performance and Efficiency Benefits
A correctly sized pressure tank reduces pump cycling, which prevents overheating and extends the pump’s lifespan. Homeowners immediately notice steadier pressure at all fixtures. A balanced system also helps reduce electrical use since the pump is not constantly turning on and off.
Maintenance After Installation
Simple yearly checks go a long way. Verifying the tank’s air charge, confirming normal pump cycles, and inspecting for moisture or rust help preserve the system and prevent premature pump failure. Regular attention keeps the tank operating efficiently and protects the overall well setup.
