A failing well pressure tank can turn everyday routines into a headache—weak showers, sputtering faucets, and a pump that clicks on and off too often.
At A&T Well and Pump, we provide straightforward well pressure tank repair for homeowners across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, and the greater Triangle area. Our water well repair experts diagnose the problem, fix it correctly, and help your well system run quietly and reliably.
Why Your Well’s Pressure Tank Is Important
Your well pressure tank is the quiet workhorse behind every shower, load of laundry, and glass of water. It stores water under steady pressure, so the well pump doesn’t have to start each time a faucet opens.
A properly working pressure tank helps by:
- Reducing how often the well pump turns on and off
- Keeping household water pressure consistent
- Extending the life of the pump and electrical components
- Lowering energy use and monthly costs
- Providing a small reserve of water during brief power interruptions
Common Signs You Need Well Pressure Tank Repair
Most of our Wake County customers experience similar symptoms when their well pressure tank fails.
Some of the common indications that your well pressure tank is not operating as it should are:
- Water pressure jumps from strong to weak
- Pump turns on every few seconds (short cycling)
- Loud clicking from the pressure switch
- Air spurting from faucets
- Rusty or leaking tank base
- Pressure gauge that won’t hold steady
If any of these feel familiar, a quick well inspection can prevent a much bigger repair or need for a new well pressure tank installation in the future.

Types of Well Pressure Tank Repairs
Every system is a little different, but most fixes fall into a few categories. At A&T Well and Pump, our Raleigh well tank technicians walk homeowners through their options and repair process so there are no surprises.
Bladder and Diaphragm Repairs
Inside most modern tanks is a rubber bladder that separates air from water. Over time, it can tear or lose its seal. When that happens, the tank becomes waterlogged and pressure drops. We test the bladder, adjust the air charge, or replace the tank when the internal parts are beyond saving.
Air Charge Corrections
A well-pressurized tank requires the right balance of air to operate properly. Too much or too little throws everything off. Our team set the pre-charge to match your pressure switch settings and verify it holds under real, daily use.
Pressure Switch Replacement
The pressure switch controls the pump's ability to start and stop. Burned or misadjusted components often cause short cycling and erratic pressure. Replacing and calibrating the switch often restores the well system to life.
Gauge and Fitting Repairs
A bad pressure gauge can make a healthy system look sick. Internal components that are corroded, cracked, or worn tend to cause leaks and inaccurate readings. These small parts are inexpensive but critical to the tank's operation.
Full Well Pressure Tank Installation
Sometimes, well pressure tank repairs cost more than they’re worth on an aging tank that will face repeat issues. Our water well services include well pressure tank installation with properly sized tanks that match your household’s needs.
Well Pressure Tank Repair FAQs
How long does a well pressure tank typically last?
Most pressure tanks last between 10 and 15 years, though water quality, usage, and proper air charge can shorten or extend that life.
Can a pressure tank be repaired instead of replaced?
Often yes. Air charge adjustments, new pressure switches, or fitting repairs can restore performance.
When is a well pressure tank installation the better choice over repairs?
If the bladder is ruptured or the tank shell is rusted through, replacement is the safer long-term option.
What causes short cycling?
Short cycling usually comes from a waterlogged tank, a failed bladder, or a misadjusted pressure switch. It stresses the pump and raises power bills.
How do I know the tank size I need?
Tank size depends on pump output and household demand. Bigger isn’t always better, but undersized tanks cause constant cycling. At A&T Well and Pump, we calculate drawdown to match your system, ensuring the pressure tank delivers enough usable water for your home before the pump restarts.
Is low water pressure always caused by a failing tank?
No. Clogged filters, failing well pumps, or leaks can mimic tank issues. That’s why our technicians test the entire setup before recommending well pressure tank repairs.
Should I hear water sloshing in the tank?
A little bit of sound is normal. Loud sloshing usually means the bladder has lost its air cushion, and your tank needs to be serviced.
Can I add air to the well pressure tank myself?
You can, but guessing the pressure often makes things worse in the long-run. The pre-charge must match the pressure switch cut-in setting with the system drained. When it comes to your home’s water source, it’s best to leave repairs to a professional well service company.
Do you work with all tank brands?
Yes. We service Amtrol, Well-X-Trol, Flexcon, Water Worker, and most other common well pressure tank models.
