 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with the L&P team on two recent occasions.  First was our well system which had a holding tank that started making noises that I couldn’t figure out.    Called the L&P crew and they were at my place the following day.  Upon walking in Sean said “sounds like a bad bladder, but let me run some tests”.  Sure enough it was the bladder and had another tank installed within a couple hours.  The second opportunity to work with L&P was my 30-year-old oil burning boiler/furnace that I’ve been nursing along.  It was finally on its last legs.  Again, the L&P team came over quickly to take a look.  Rather than just throwing a $$ amount at me Sean took the time to review my existing system and what the needs of the house were.  Unbeknownst to me I also had a hot water heater(electric) that was also an issue.  Sean diagnosed what was needed and had a quote back to me with a couple different options that were available.  Upon deciding which course of action was best Sean began working on a plan that would minimize our house being without hot water and heat as winter had already arrived.   They ordered parts and assembled what they could on their own before starting the job.  The day before “shut down” day they delivered everything to my house and “staged” the switch over.  On that day of course it snowed the night before creating a messy/wet driveway.  They laid out cardboard on the way into my house to minimize the “mess” coming in.  Sean and Jerry treated my house as if it were their own.  By the end of that day hot water and heat were both restored and working fabulously.  I highly recommend the Team from L&P for all your plumbing needs.

We were first introduced to Sean and Jerry when we had our basement finished in 2019. We have always been pleased with the work they do, and we have had them do so much for us. They have worked on our well:  well tank replacement, well pump replacement (which required troubleshooting the electrical set up as well), water treatment tank replacement, installed a whole home carbon filter tank, and fixed the poorly constructed well tanks set up from the previous homeowner. In addition to plumbing for our new full bathroom in the basement, they have installed new faucets in our laundry room, kitchen, and main shower, and replaced a broken exterior faucet. They have cleared a drain for us, fixed the water pipe going to the dishwasher, and replaced the drain pipes under our kitchen sink. They also just installed a new kitchen sink for us. The quality of their work, professionalism, and knowledge is well worth it. We had the misfortune of calling one of those big companies when we first relocated up here, and were dreading ever having to deal with any plumbing or well issues in the future based on that experience. Now anytime something pops up that needs to be fixed, we are relieved to be able to reach out to Sean and Jerry because we know they will do a great job, for a fair price, and in a timely manner. You truly cannot go wrong with them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had all my copper changed over to plastic, neutralizer and filter system installed at a most reasonable cost. Work was done in a timely manner and done well and no mess left behind. Very professional and pleasant to deal with. Would definitely recommend.

Why Well Pump Maintenance Matters

Well pumps work every day behind the scenes to deliver safe, reliable water. Routine maintenance helps prevent major failures and costly emergency repairs. Our inspections address the most common issues found in local wells across Connecticut, including:

Low or inconsistent water pressure
Short-cycling pumps
Air sputtering from faucets
Pressure tank problems
Wiring or control box issues
Mineral buildup on pump components

Regular service from our licensed technicians can extend the life of your pump by years, helping you avoid unnecessary replacements.

Inspecting and adjusting the pressure switch
Evaluating the pressure tank (air charge, bladder condition, PSI balance)

Benefits of Regular Well Pump Maintenance

Routine maintenance prevents the most common well pump problems homeowners in Watertown face:

Longer Pump Lifespan: A well-maintained pump can last 10–15+ years, compared to 5–8 years with no servicing.

Stable Water Pressure: We fine-tune your pressure tank and pump settings to ensure strong, consistent water flow.

Cleaner, Safer Water: Maintenance reduces sediment, bacteria risks, and improves overall well water quality.

Avoid Emergency Breakdowns: Most pump failures give warning signs—our inspections catch them early.

Lower Utility Costs: An efficient pump uses less electricity and avoids strain on your well water system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Well Pump Maintenance

How often should I schedule well pump maintenance?

Most homeowners should schedule maintenance once per year. Older pumps or high-use systems may require semiannual servicing.

What are signs that my well pump needs maintenance?

Watch for low water pressure, air in faucets, the pump turning on and off rapidly, cloudy water, or higher electric bills.

Can well pump maintenance prevent pump failure?

Yes—routine servicing identifies worn components, electrical issues, or tank problems before they cause system failure.

Do you service both deep-well and shallow-well pumps?

Absolutely. We maintain submersible deep well pumps, jet pumps, and full well water delivery systems.

Does well pump maintenance improve water quality?

Yes. Maintenance removes sediment buildup, debris, and contaminants that can affect water clarity and taste.

How long does a maintenance visit take?

Most appointments take 60–90 minutes, depending on system size and condition.
