A waterlogged bladder tank causes your well pump to "short cycle," leading to premature motor failure. We ensure your tank is sized and pressurized correctly to protect your most expensive well component.

We don't just swap parts. As licensed, trained, and qualified technicians, we diagnose the entire assembly—from the pressure switch to the well tee—to ensure the root cause of your pressure issue is solved.

We use professional-grade tanks and heavy-duty brass well tees designed for longevity. We believe in doing the job once and doing it right, using materials that stand up to Barry County's water.
Fluctuating Water Pressure: If your showers or faucets start strong then quickly drop to a trickle, it often indicates the bladder in your tank has failed.
Rapid Pump Cycling: Hearing your well pump click on and off every few seconds (short-cycling) is a major red flag that your tank can no longer maintain proper pressure.
Air "Spitting" from Faucets: When a bladder ruptures, air can enter the plumbing lines, causing faucets to sputter or spray unevenly.
Visible Corrosion on the Well Tee: Rust or green corrosion on the brass well tee assembly can lead to pinhole leaks and a total loss of water pressure.
Spiking Electric Bills: A failing tank forces your well pump to work much harder and more frequently, leading to a noticeable increase in monthly energy costs.
No Water at All: If the pressure switch or well tee components fail completely, your system will lose the ability to draw water into the home.
We don't just guess at the problem. Our technicians perform a precise drawdown test to evaluate your bladder tank’s health and inspect the well tee assembly for hidden leaks or electrical failures.
Our licensed, trained, and qualified technicians install high-performance tanks and solid brass well tees. We ensure every component is perfectly sealed and calibrated to your pump's specific pressure requirements.
We thoroughly test the entire system, ensuring the pump cycle is optimized and the water pressure is consistent throughout your home. We treat your mechanical room with respect and leave it cleaner than we found it.
Maintaining System Pressure

Your bladder tank is responsible for maintaining consistent pressure and protecting your pump. We install high-performance, professional-grade tanks that provide the proper drawdown for your home, reducing wear and tear on your well pump motor.
The Brain of Your Well System

The well tee is the heart of your system’s controls. As licensed, trained, and qualified technicians, we replace corroded tees and failing pressure switches with heavy-duty components to ensure your system communicates perfectly with your pump.

At Hometown Plumbing Services, we believe that providing a professional standard of care means ensuring your home has a reliable water supply. Based in Hastings, our licensed, trained, and qualified technicians are dedicated to solving the complex well system issues that face our neighbors. From replacing failing bladder tanks in Middleville and Nashville to providing expert well tee repairs in Delton, Wayland, and Caledonia, we bring small-town integrity to every job across Barry County. We’re not just fixing parts; we’re safeguarding the pump that powers your home.
The most common sign for homeowners in Barry County is noticeable water pressure fluctuation—for example, while showering, the water pressure drops significantly and then surges back up. This usually means the internal bladder has ruptured, and the tank is "waterlogged." Our licensed, trained, and qualified technicians can perform a precise drawdown test to confirm if the tank has failed.
This is called "short cycling," and it is a critical issue. It means your pressure tank has lost its air cushion, forcing the well pump to turn on every time you open a faucet, even for a second. This rapid cycling overheats the pump motor and will lead to premature—and expensive—well pump failure if not corrected quickly by a specialist.
The well tee is the brass fitting that acts as the hub connecting your piping to the pressure tank, pressure switch, and gauge. In areas like Hastings and Delton, high mineral content in the water can corrode cheaper galvanized or thin brass tees, leading to pinhole leaks or clogged sensor ports. We only install heavy-duty, solid brass tees designed for longevity.
Retail-grade tanks often use thinner steel and weaker internal bladders that may fail within 5-7 years under normal household use. As licensed and trained technicians, we install professional-grade tanks engineered with heavier materials designed to last 12-15+ years. We believe in protecting your home’s water supply with components built for the long haul, ensuring your pump isn't overworked by an inferior tank.
