About us

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.

Great! Israel, the technician, was very professional and courteous and explained everything that he did. Plus he gave prompt and expert first aid to a young lady involved in an automobile accident in front of our house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who wants quality work done by fine employees who are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Matthews Well & Pump came out to do a water test and inspect all of our well equipment, which was 29 years old. They showed up promptly for the appointment and conducted a thorough review of our system. The technician informed me that the well pump pressure tanks were very close to failure, which was not surprising for a nearly 30 year old system. He re-pressurized the tanks, but recommended that we replace the aging 2 tank system with a single tank system. He took the water sample for testing at the lab. Within about a week, I received the analysis of the water sample, as well as a written recommendation for a softener/filtration system as well as the quote to replace the pressure tanks. The price for the softener seemed a little high, but was less than other quotes I received from competitors. The softener recommended was a 2 tank system - one for softening and one providing whole house filtration. The price to put in a new well pump pressure tank seemed reasonable enough. I asked several questions of the technician via email and by phone. All of my questions were answered with thorough responses. We scheduled the job and Matthews showed up promptly as scheduled. The work was completed very professionally. The company followed-up with us by phone within 2 weeks to be sure we were satisfied with the work and the quality of the water. I would highly recommend Matthews Well & Pump.

It took five appointments before we hit a day that the work could be done. I want to be very clear that the first three appointments were rained out with the rainiest May since the 1800s. Todd, the owner of the company, personally did the work. It took two loads of pea gravel to fill the void in the annular opening! He also advised on work to consider in the future regarding the pipe bringing the water into the house and replacing the pump with a submersible one. We have only owned the home for 10 months. My strongest advice would be to make sure an inspection of the well and pump are done prior to closing. Most real estate agents do not seem to know that this is a nominal cost and should be done if you have a private water source. I will absolutely continue to use the services of Matthews Well and Pump

Ended up in a tough spot w/ a blown well pump... Nancy was very understanding in helpful getting Clay & Brandon out as soon as she could, which given the holiday weekend was hugely important.  
The team diagnosed the issue quickly and had me back up and running in just over an hour.  
Fair price, excellent service & a quick turn around equals straight A's from me.  Keep up the good work Matthews Team!

Since they have been doing our annual maintenance, we have stopped having any problems.They are very knowledgable and professional. I have had considerable experience with well companies and we have a complicated system. They are very responsive and reliable--worth every penny.

The work was done quickly and professionally. I have a much better run time on my pump now, and the curb sealing was excellently done. The price seems high for a replacement pump tank, but that's because I got rid of the teeny pump that was installed by the builder of the home, and installed a much larger tank (which costs more). I could have had the work done for half the cost, but that would have meant putting back in a "too small" pump tank (as the builder did).  Don't cheap out with a small pump tank as your well pump will not last as long. The water pressure in my house is also consistent now, where it wasn't with the small tank.

We moved into a project house that had not been lived in for over the past 4 years.  We knew our filtration system was old and had been unplugged.  Before buying the house I called Matthews as there were stickers on the various tanks, and Nancy in the office was very helpful.  After closing and moving in we called and scheduled an appointment.  I think bit by bit I had talked to every employee they had.  Due to the dormancy of the system we braced for a complete redo.  However when John came out and looked it just needed a good cleaning up and the softener system re-connected.  They told us how to cut our expenses a lot, and he spent a lot of time explaining how our system worked.  While we all know the technology has improved, they appreciated our need to conserve funds, and at no time tried to sell us something we don't need immediately, instead we made a soft plan to upgrade accordingly as they system starts failing.  He even told me what to look for in hopes of trouble shooting the inevitable well mishap that happens to us all.  Compared to previous filtering companies we have used this was refreshing.

We have already scheduled next year's maintenance appointment with them.

We had the typical come home from vacation and find a major failure had occurred in our absence. This time around was no water pressure. We had been informed from MW earlier in the year, that our pressure tank was leaking and to be aware of a potential failure soon.
We contacted MW on Sunday afternoon with the concern and had a serviceman to our house around noon on Monday. Come to find out the failure wasn't due to the pressure tank, but the shaft in the well. We had the pump, shaft, and tank replaced to save ourselves the headache later. All equipment were used well past their recommended length of time (15+ years)..
The serviceman was very professional and had our water back by 2 pm.
Matthew's Well had been recommended by the previous owners of our house and do our yearly filtration system maintenance. So far, we have been extremely pleased with their services.

The techs arrived on time, and they immediately started working.  They had to trench around the well and trench  where the
new wiring would go from the house to the well.

  The owner, Todd, explained the work they would be doing and why it was important.  There were three techs, and they all were polite, efficient, and professional in their work ethics.

I accidentally ran over my well pipe and shattered it. I called Matthews to make an appointment to have it repaired. It was on a Fri afternoon and they could not get here until the following week. I spoke with Nancy (very nice) several times and she put me in touch with the owner who explained to me what to look for, what to do, both to protect the well and restore my water, in the meantime. I did both and we were fine until the technician arrived. The technician, Clay Crawford, was a super nice guy, very competant, amiable, and efficient. He dug out the pipe, made the repairs, sanitized the well, and made sure that everything was working fine before he left. It was an excellent experience and I am very pleased with the company and the work they did.
