Matthews Well & Pump was founded in 1960 by the late Jack Matthews and purchased by Todd and Jill Vander Pol in 1989. Since then the Vander Pols have sought to put their Dutch business heritage to good use. Our business model has been to use the best and most-innovative equipment available and then, through a strenuous hiring and training process, bring on board technicians and office staff who share our view that the business exists to meet the needs of our customers. Mr. Vander Pol encourages everyone to “do what you do and do it well!”. Since your well is unique from your neighbor’s well- based on the original construction, materials used and the strata the well is constructed through- we work with you as our customer to get an understanding of your past experience with your well’s “normal performance” and the concern we now want to address. Then through a data-gathering process developed over the last 30 years our technicians can normally identify one or more options to correct or improve your concern. In many instances we can then give you an on site estimate of the cost to perform the work. In some situations we will not have all the data required to provide a firm estimate, in which case we would work on a time and material basis with your approval. We stock nine different well pumps on our service trucks along with pipe, wire, pressure tanks, switches etc. Ninety percent of the time we can correct a well pump problem with one service call! We look forward to working with you and continuing to serve our community for years to come! We service the metro-Richmond area and surrounding counties.

"Robert came and he was very very good, inspected the well and did something, and figured out that there was a hole on the pipe inside the house and he readily fix it, he also tested the water for PH levels because the pipes were made of copper that caused the holes on the pipes."

"I was impressed with Clyde when he responded immediately to my initial inquiry. He led by stating in that call that he would help us get our water back, which was a nice reassurance and he arrived at our home shortly after. After some diagnosing, he spent time very patiently explaining how he arrived at his conclusions and proceeded to find us a tank and install it, all of this in one day. He also helped with a few other small details while there. Thank you, Clyde for taking away the sting of losing our water and for standing by your word on the pricing. We would highly recommend again."

We have grown to have 10 different offices to serve you with all your water quality needs. We are experts in water quality issues and aim to educate our customers about their water. We solve any water problem with any budget and with the best equipment available. We accept major credit cards.

"I got six estimates for replacement of my 12-year-old water heater. I went with Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA. I’m extremely happy with the purchase and installation of my new water heater. Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA impressed me at every step of the process. They provided a fair estimate, professional communication and installation, answered all my questions during the process, and cleaned up after they were done. The installation team installed a new gas shut off valve and an expansion tank, in addition to the water heater, and didn’t add on extra charges like some companies. They also insulated the pipes. I’m thankful that everything is now up to code. The plumber explained the purpose of the expansion tank, other companies didn’t even mention one. Both of the people doing the install were highly knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend Advanced Water Systems of Coastal NC-VA."

Plumbing should work, which is why we're available day and night. With 24/7 emergency services, we can take care of any problem that may occur, at the time it happens, not just between 9am and 5pm. We do not use call centers nor do we leave the phones in the hands of the technician on call. You will be connected directly with one of our Facilitators of Awesome Customer Experiences. She will ensure that your problem is addressed quickly by a professional, and will check on you after your service to make sure everything went smoothly. Our service professionals can handle any problem that you may have, from drains backing up, to water leaking, toilets running, garbage disposals failing, we have you covered. And if you are lucky and don't need emergency service, we can help you with your bathroom or kitchen remodel too! Locally owned and operated by the Proffitt family, we have been plumbing in the Richmond area for 4 generations. Taking care of your home is what we do!

"Initial water heater replacement happened 5 years ago, and went fine. However, given our water heater feeds into our heating system, evidently pressure builds up in the water heater more than usual, and lead to a failure after just 5 years. A simple pressure tank would have prevented my latest issue, but since it "wasn't required by code" then, and I wasn't told that it would be a good idea, one was not installed. So, fast forward to 5 years later, and though the tank itself was covered, they charged me over $1000 to replace it. They were only hear for 4 hours, so we're talking about $250/hour, and that is outrageously overpriced. I appreciate that they added an pressure relief tank this time (it's code now, so I'm not sure they had a choice), but I still believe the tank would not have needed to be replaced if they'd gone above "what code requires" in the first place. Going to the minimum and not beyond is not what I'm looking for in service, so I will be looking for someone who goes above and beyond next time."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can impact hair in a number of ways. It can cause the hair to dry out and become brittle, and it can require you to use more shampoo to get a good lather. The hard water may leave a film on the hair and scalp from mineral buildup, which may also cause some irritation.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.
