Well Pressure Tank Repair & Replacement in the Willamette Valley & Oregon Coast
If your pump clicks on and off every few seconds, your pressure surges then drops in the shower, or your tank feels heavy and full, the pressure tank is usually the culprit — and a failing one quietly destroys your pump. We diagnose it fast and fix or replace it before it takes the pump with it.

What a Pressure Tank Does (and How It Fails)
The pressure tank holds a reserve of pressurized water so your pump isn't kicking on every time you turn a faucet. When the bladder inside the tank fails, the tank waterlogs — and the pump starts short-cycling on and off every few seconds to keep up.
That rapid cycling is the #1 thing that burns well pumps out early. Which is why a modest tank problem, ignored, quietly turns into a costly pump problem.
Signs Your Pressure Tank Is Going
Pump cycles every few seconds
On, off, on, off — instead of running in healthy 1–2 minute cycles.
Pressure surges then fades
Strong for a moment in the shower, then weak — the tank can't hold a reserve.
Tank sounds solid when tapped
A healthy tank sounds hollow on top, solid on bottom. All solid = waterlogged.
Visible rust or corrosion
Rust at the base or weeping around fittings means the tank itself is failing.
Pump runs more than it used to
If you can hear it kicking on constantly, the tank isn't doing its job.
Tank feels heavy and full
Lift-test fails — a working bladder tank should feel surprisingly light up top.
Repair or Replace — the Honest Call
A tank that's only lost its air pre-charge can sometimes be re-pressurized cheaply, and that's where we start when the tank itself is still sound. A failed bladder or a corroded tank needs replacement — re-charging it won't hold.
When replacement is the right call, we size the new tank to your pump and household so it cycles correctly. An undersized tank short-cycles the pump; an oversized one is wasted money. We set the pre-charge right before it's plumbed in — a step less-thorough installers skip and you pay for later.
Honest Pricing — the Cheapest Fix That Actually Solves It
Sometimes it's just an air-charge adjustment, not a new tank — and we'll do that first if it solves it. When a tank does need replacing, you get a free, upfront, itemized quote before any work, with no surprise charges. We size and pre-charge it right so your pump lasts, and we use tanks built to outlast the cheap ones.
Free, upfront, itemized quote before any work — adjust first when that solves it.
