  • Do water wells go dry?

    While it's uncommon, water wells can indeed run dry. In Montana, factors such as well depth, water table levels, and usage patterns influence water availability. Temporary fluctuations may occur due to seasonal changes or drought conditions, but levels often recover. If you're consistently experiencing low water levels, your well might require deepening or inspection. We recommend reaching out to us for a professional assessment to ensure your well is functioning optimally.
  • Is the water quality better the deeper the well?

    Deeper wells don't necessarily guarantee superior water quality. While they may access cleaner water sources, the quality is primarily determined by local geology and mineral composition. Even deep wells may require treatment for specific minerals. We recommend regular water testing to ensure consistent quality, regardless of the well's depth.
  • What is the average lifespan of a water well pump?

    Water well pumps typically operate effectively for 8 to 15 years. This lifespan can vary based on factors including usage frequency, maintenance regularity, and water quality. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can significantly extend your pump's operational life. If you're experiencing any issues, we suggest a professional assessment to evaluate the pump's condition.
  • What is the lifespan of a water well pressure tank?

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

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

    Well depth is indeed a crucial 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.
