About Us: We are locally owned/operated professionals providing dependable service. Able Well & Pump Service (AWPS) (formerly Artesian Well & Pump Service) has A Cell Number Also At 410 458 7171

"Able Well helped me perform a chemical treatment of my home well after it failed a bacteria test. They also replaced and rewired the well cap. They were knowledgeable about the system and taught me a lot of great info about my home system. The reason for 1-star is the complete lack of punctuality. They were 5 hours late on the first day and 4 hours late on the second date. No one ever reached out to me to let me know they would be late or communicated a need to change the time of the appointment. For how expensive the service was, I would expect better communication and ability to keep an appointment. I'd recommend shocking your well yourself, it isn't hard, and spending almost 10 hours waiting on arrival was a hard way to spend my day."

"Installation was solid. The labor price was a bit high. The main concern was the materials markup. The picked up a shower stem from Lowes. Those are normally about $50. The tech said that the stem wasn't $120 but they charge them extra when they use their contractor code. That seemed weird since normally get discounts since they purchase a lot. I should have questioned it but it didn't register to me until after he had left."

"I am amazed! We contacted or tried to contact a few local plumbers to help us with our DIY bathroom redo. We knew we needed a pro but finding one was harder than we thought. We had some look at the job and wanted to replace all working piping with new, would not return calls, couldn’t seem to fit us in, or just was a no-show for the appointment. Not only did Campbells Plumbing LLC return our calls quickly, but showed up and did an amazing job! They are honest, are hard workers, provide great customer service, so we highly recommend them. We will call them instead of trying to DIY plumbing again!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A submersible pump should be at least 10 feet from the bottom of the well to minimize the risk of the pump drawing debris into the well water. Submersible pumps work best for wells that are 25 feet deep or less. If you have a deeper well, choose a jet pump instead of a submersible model.

A septic tank lasts 15 to 20 years on average. This life span will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. Clogging caused by plant roots or flooding from groundwater can decrease that life span. To avoid these issues, have a pro inspect your tank regularly and perform routine maintenance, such as pumping out the tank.

Bladder and diaphragm well pressure tanks are usually pre-charged at the factory. Even so, it’s important to check the air pressure in the tank using a tire pressure gauge on the relief valve. The instruction manual usually calls for 28 psi. Use a hand pump to add more air or release some air from the tank to reach the desired number. Check the pressure periodically to see if you need to add more air to the tank.

The average life span of a well is about 30 to 50 years. Several factors can affect a well’s lifespan, such as its size, construction quality, water demand, and regular maintenance. Environmental factors, including droughts and earthquakes, can also have an influence. Drilling deeper, getting professional maintenance, and regulating your water usage can help extend your well’s lifespan.

While dry wells are helpful for dispersing excess rainwater from the roof or around the house, there are some downsides. For example, if you install a gravity flow dry well, it can take a long time to release the water depending on the dry well’s depth and the permeability of the soil. 

There’s also a risk of overflowing the dry well if you don’t have one large enough to handle the amount of rain in your area. The biggest disadvantage is that it’s hard to clean out a dry well, and sediment buildup can make the dry well less effective.
