“Low water pressure? No problem. Two Guys Plumbing repairs and replaces pressure tanks to keep your water flowing steady and strong.”
A pressure tank with a failed bladder makes the pump start and stop dozens of times an hour. That short cycling is the single most common reason pumps die early.
We test the air charge, check the bladder, and either recharge the tank or replace it with a correctly sized unit — usually the same visit.
How the job goes
- 1
Confirm the diagnosis
A tap test and an air charge reading tell us whether the tank is waterlogged, the bladder has ruptured, or the real problem is the switch. We prove it before recommending anything.
- 2
Size the right tank
Drawdown capacity is matched to your pump's flow rate so every cycle runs long enough to cool the motor — the detail that decides pump life.
- 3
Swap and replumb
The old tank is drained, removed and hauled away. The new one goes in with a proper tee, gauge, isolation valve and drain so future service is easy.
- 4
Set and verify
Precharge is set two PSI under cut-in, the switch is checked, and we run the system through full cycles with you watching the gauge hold steady.
Signs you need this service
- Pump kicks on and off rapidly during use
- Pressure surges then drops immediately
- Tank feels full and heavy when tapped
- Water around the base of the tank
- Rust, corrosion or a bulging shell
What's included
- Air charge and bladder integrity testing
- Correct tank sizing for your pump and household
- Removal and disposal of the old tank
- New tank tee, fittings and pressure switch as needed
- System pressure set and verified
What affects the cost
No two wells are identical, so we quote after diagnosis — never before. These are the factors that move the price:
- Tank size and type — larger drawdown capacity costs more
- Location — crawl spaces and tight basements take more labor
- Condition of the tee, switch and fittings being reused or replaced
- Disposal of the old tank (we handle it)
