You Have The Questions, We Have The Answers
From poor water pressure to plumbing backups, water problems can disrupt everyday life and raise serious concerns about home comfort.
That’s why we’ve created this solutions center, designed to help you understand common issues, their root causes, and how Tri-County Pumps can help restore performance, quality, and peace of mind.
Water Supply Issues
When water pressure drops or flow becomes unreliable, it’s time to look closer at your well system and plumbing infrastructure.
Sudden Drop In Water Pressure
A fast, unexpected loss in pressure may be caused by a failing pump, tripped breaker, plumbing leak, or clogged filter that needs quick attention.
Inconsistent Well Water Pressure
If pressure fluctuates while using faucets or appliances, it may signal issues with pump cycling, the pressure switch, or tank performance.
Low Well Water Pressure
Weak water pressure from all faucets often points to problems with the well pump, pressure tank, or plumbing layout.
Water Quality Problems
Strange smells, cloudy water, or staining are signs of mineral content, bacteria, or sediment that can affect your home’s water supply.
Rotten Egg Smell In The House
Sulfur odors often come from hydrogen sulfide in well water or bacteria buildup in the water heater, both of which can be treated.
Cloudy/Discolored Water From Tap
Water that looks milky, yellow, or rusty may indicate air bubbles, sediment, or high iron levels that should be filtered out.
Hard Water Problems
High mineral content can dry out skin, stain fixtures, and clog plumbing. A water softener can help eliminate these issues.
Iron Staining On Fixtures & Laundry
Orange or reddish stains in sinks, tubs, or laundry often point to high iron levels in the water that require filtration.
Septic Issues
Backups, drainage problems, or septic concerns can signal bigger problems brewing below the surface.
Septic Tank Inspections When Buying A House
A professional septic inspection can uncover costly issues and help homebuyers avoid unexpected repairs after moving in.
Sewage Backups/Slow Draining Sinks
Gurgling drains, clogs, or sewage backups can point to blockages, root intrusion, or a failing sewer line that requires fast repair.
Plumbing Issues
No hot water, slow drains, or fixture failures often point to underlying plumbing issues that need quick attention before they worsen.
No Hot Water In The House
A loss of hot water is usually caused by failed heating elements, thermostat issues, or sediment buildup in the water heater.
