  • Do water wells go dry?

    Water wells can indeed run dry, though it's not a common occurrence. In Montana, several factors influence water availability, including well depth, water table levels, and usage patterns. Seasonal fluctuations or drought conditions may temporarily affect water levels, but they often recover. If you're experiencing consistent low water levels, your well might need deepening or inspection. We recommend contacting us for a professional evaluation to ensure your well is operating correctly.
  • Is the water quality better the deeper the well?

    Deeper wells don't always guarantee better water quality. While they may access cleaner water sources, the quality is largely determined by the local geology and mineral composition. Even deep wells may require treatment for certain minerals. We advise periodic water testing to ensure consistent quality, regardless of well depth.
  • What is the average lifespan of a water well pump?

    Water well pumps typically last between 8 and 15 years. This lifespan can vary based on factors such as usage frequency, maintenance regularity, and water quality. Consistent inspections and proper maintenance can significantly extend your pump's operational life. If you're experiencing any issues, we recommend a professional assessment to determine the pump's condition.
  • What is the lifespan of a water well pressure tank?

    Water well pressure tanks generally last between 10 to 15 years. However, this can vary depending on factors such as water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance practices. Regular upkeep and inspections are crucial for ensuring efficient operation and maximizing the tank's lifespan.
  • What causes low or no water pressure?

    Several factors can lead to low or no water pressure. These include pump malfunction, filter blockages, water table drops, pressure tank issues, pipe leaks, or electrical problems. A professional inspection can identify the specific cause in your system.
  • Does the depth of a well make a difference?

    Well depth is indeed a significant factor. It can impact both water quality and availability. Deeper wells often access more stable water sources and may avoid surface contaminants. However, they can also contain higher mineral content, potentially requiring treatment. The depth also influences the well's water yield and its susceptibility to water table fluctuations.
