I am dedicated to providing my clients with the very best in service, installation, and repair to meet your plumbing needs. I specialize in mechanical piping and a variety of residential and commercial services. I take pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects I am involved with. I'm known for our quality work and the integrity of my business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with my clients, and guarantee my satisfaction.

"Joe, came to my home to because I had no water. We had agreed upon 8:00 am he text and said he would be there by 7:30. When he arrived I showed him the garage where the house equipment was located. The first thing he noticed was that the water tank switch was installed incorrectly (the switch has been there for 27 years) I had the home built. Then he notice something not up to code. Showed him the well pump and he assess the pump. Joe then tells me my pump failed and would need to be replaced. The price would be 3,500 for the pump and 800.00 to replace the electrical components inside the well. I kindly paid him the $60.00 service fee and said good bye. The next company came at 10:00 am and replaced my pump in about 40 minutes and saved me over $2,000.00! This company stated my wiring was good and everything was fine inside the garage. Folks do your research- if something does not seem right it?s NOT! He left my breaker switch off and turned my range off breaker off!"

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."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

If you’re maintaining your septic system, your drain field should last around 20 years. However, it’s important to get it inspected every two to five years to help your system last as long as possible and make sure it’s in safe, working order. Contact a septic maintenance company in your area for a quote.

With so much available information about the ecological effects of cesspools (and their general unpleasantness), it begs the question: Are cesspools legal? In short, sort of. Large-capacity cesspools that serve more than 20 people are completely illegal countrywide. Existing, smaller cesspools are generally allowed as long as they’re not actively polluting. However, new cesspools are illegal to build in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and many states offer programs to help homeowners with the costs of updating cesspools to modern septic systems.

Beyond the type of well pump, there are a few other factors to consider when selecting a well pump. Keep in mind the depth of your well, your average water usage, and the PSI of your water-consuming appliances to determine the appropriate motor horsepower and size of your well pump.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
