Well Pressure Tank Repair

Well Tank Repair in Portland, ME

Dealing With Well Tank Issues? Give us a Call!

Your well pressure tank works hand in hand with your pump to deliver steady water pressure and protect the pump from wear. When the tank fails, you may notice pressure swings or a pump that cycles constantly. Fontus provides expert well tank repair across Portland and southern Maine.

A pressure tank stores water under pressure so your pump does not have to run every time you open a faucet. Most modern tanks use an internal air bladder that pushes water out while keeping the pump from cycling too often. When that bladder fails or the tank loses its air charge, the pump runs harder and wears out faster.


Call us today at (207) 865-8165 to get started with well tank repair services in Portland, ME.

Signs Your Well Tank Needs Repair

A struggling pressure tank usually shows up as changes in how your pump behaves. Common signs include:

  • The pump turns on and off rapidly, known as short cycling
  • Fluctuating or surging water pressure
  • Water spitting or sputtering from faucets
  • A tank that feels waterlogged or unusually heavy
  • Visible rust or corrosion on the tank
  • Low air pressure at the tank's air valve

Repair or Replace?

If the tank's bladder has failed or the tank is rusted through, replacement is usually necessary. But issues like a low air charge, a bad pressure switch, or a leaking fitting can often be repaired. We diagnose the real cause so you do not replace a tank that only needed a minor fix, and we tell you honestly when replacement is the better call.
