  • How do residential well systems work?

    Most well water is pumped out of the ground automatically using a submersible pump or a jet pump that sits on top of the ground and draws water out of the ground to create water pressure for the home. Some well water systems use a large storage tank to store the water before being pumped again to the house. Call Hunter's Valley Services LLC today to get started with your well pump in Halifax, PA.

  • Do wells run out of water?

  • How does a well replenish itself?

    A well dug or drilled into saturated rocks will fill with water approximately to the level of the water table. When using a well pump in Halifax, PA, gravity forces water to move from the saturated rocks into the well to replace the water that has been pumped out.

  • How can you tell if your well is low?

    When you're using a well pump in Halifax, PA, it's crucial to know whether your well is running low. Usually, the pump is placed deep underwater. However, when the water level drops, your pump will always try to keep the tank full and maintain water pressure. Another sign that you can get from your pump that your water level is running low is when it starts turning on and off continuously.

  • Can a well run dry in the winter?

    To keep your well from running dry, you should know when water levels rise and fall in your local area. As a general rule, when using a well pump in Halifax, PA, there's more water available in late fall. Water levels can run low again in winter if your area experiences freezing temperatures.
