Well pump and pressure tank repair — Moneta, Smith Mountain Lake and Franklin County
Most homes beyond the Westlake / Rt 122 water corridor are on private wells. Out here, no pump means no water. Not low pressure, not a slow drain: no coffee, no shower, no flush. We repair and replace well pumps and pressure tanks across Moneta, Smith Mountain Lake and Franklin County, day or night.

The no-water call
No water from the well
The most common calls start the same way: the tap sputters and quits, or the pressure has been sliding for weeks. The fault is usually one of three things: the pump, the pressure switch, or the tank. We diagnose which before we replace anything, and we tell you what we found before work starts.
If you have no water right now, call us. We take these calls day or night, weekends and holidays included.
Repair or replace
Pumps, pressure tanks and low pressure
Some pumps are worth repairing. Some are done, and putting money into them is throwing it down the well. We work on both submersible and jet pumps, we say plainly which situation you are in, and the price is confirmed before we start.
A waterlogged pressure tank makes the pump kick on and off every few seconds. That short-cycling burns out a pump years early, so a failing tank is cheaper to replace than to ignore. If your pump never seems to rest, or the pressure surges and drops at the tap, the tank is the first suspect.
Low pressure has more causes than a bad pump: a pressure switch set wrong or failing, a bladder gone in the tank, a pump losing capacity. We check the system in order and fix the part that is actually the problem.
By name
Private-well territory, by name
Public water around the lake runs along the Westlake / Rt 122 corridor and a handful of subdivisions. Everything beyond it is well country: Hardy, Wirtz, Penhook, Glade Hill, Union Hall, and the parts of Moneta outside the corridor. That is where we do this work, week in, week out.
Not sure whether your house is on the corridor? Look for a water meter. No meter, you are on a well, and this page is for you.
Closing a lake house for the winter? Draining the well pump and pressure tank is part of our winterization service. If the same visit turns up a leak or fixture failure, see plumbing repairs. Town pages: Union Hall, Moneta and Westlake. Emergency no-water calls also sit on our 24/7 emergency page.
Straight answers
Well pump questions
- Why did my lake house lose water on a private well?
- Common causes are a failed well pump, a waterlogged pressure tank, a tripped breaker, or a system that sat unused too long. Call (540) 705-6098. We diagnose pump and pressure problems around Moneta and Smith Mountain Lake.
- Do you replace pressure tanks as well as well pumps?
- Yes. A short-cycling pump often means the pressure tank failed, not the pump. We tell you which one is bad before you buy a new pump.
- Can you come out when the house has no water after dark?
- Yes. Well and pressure calls are answered 24/7 the same as a burst pipe. You approve the price before we pull a pump or replace a tank.
- Is winterization related to the well pump?
- Closing a lake house includes draining the pump and pressure tank so they do not freeze. That work is on our winterization page; year-round no-water calls stay on this page.
