Water Purification & Pump Servicing - FAQ

Expansion tanks directly affect when your pump turns on and off. When they fail, they cause the pump to turn on and off rapidly, damaging the motor. Give us a call for a quote!

There are a few reasons for staining, most common are brown/orange stains from iron or green stains from a low ph. Call and schedule a water test so we can help you find a solution!

Hydrogen sulfide gas often smells like eggs. Sometimes certain water quality scenarios will cause the anode rod in a water heater to prematurely erode, the off-gas often has an unpleasant odor.

The EPA does not regulate private wells. It is important to test your water yourself to ensure the safety and quality. We can make almost any well water clean and safe to drink with a properly designed filtration system.

A water softener system for your home or business is a filtration system that removes high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and other metal cations found in both city and well water. The act of “softening” your water leaves fewer stains on dishware, allows for less soap use, softens the hair and skin, and extends the lifespan of clothing and other laundry.

Well systems often can go extensive periods of time without seemingly any concerns. However, a system that is not maintained can unknowingly experience wear and tear on the system components that ultimately cause excessive energy usage, resulting in higher electric bills.  Also, the multiple mechanical components of a well system do lose their proper calibrations over time, resulting in loss of life expectancy to the well pump and or water storage tank. The two most expensive items to replace on a well pumping system.

Yes! There can be a number of reasons why you are experiencing low water pressure.  Most of the time the problem can be addressed with an easy adjustment or sometimes there is a bigger issue going on within the system that needs to be corrected. Some examples of these would be a leak in a pipe, either in the well itself or under the ground between the well and the house, an older weak pump that needs to be replaced, minerals clogging up the system restricting water flow.  Ultimately there is no real reason why you need to continually suffer or deal with low water pressure. Having a simple system checkup can diagnose the reason behind the issue.

  • I've had Ed McMahon of McMahon's Water Services come to my house on several occasions for various plumbing and or pump needs. He is absolutely awesome at what he does. He is very professional, courteous, prompt, efficient and excellent at what he does. I can give many more compliments but I'd rather you call him and see for yourself how great he and his staff are. Thank you Ed, for being so awesome.

    We had a water failure at a commercial establishment, right before one of the most important days of the year. Yes, it had to happen on the weekend. Chad was out immediately. He had the problem diagnosed within minutes and had the new well pump installed within a few hours! So grateful and impressed!

  • I've been a customer of McMahon's Water Services for over 15 years. The entire team is professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Ed put in a new point well for me a few years back and completed the project on time and under his original estimate. The best part about working with McMahon's is that I'm actually able to speak with a member of the team whenever I call to schedule an appointment or have a question. I highly recommend McMahon's Water Services.

  • With one phone call we experienced the best customer service ever. Very pleasant to talk to, very understanding of the situation, and very knowledgeable in the service. We had a time scheduled the same day, yes, the same day. They went above and beyond when asking for a 30 minute window in order to get home from work, and they did just that. Chad was wonderful and polite, and explained everything to us. He knew and fixed the problem in a blink of an eye. Thanks so much for being a great business to work with.

    We have well water. Our problems were high manganese and a sulfur odor. Our plumbing fixtures, toilets, sinks, and everything that came in contact with the water was discolored. I couldn’t keep them clean and we certainly didn’t want to drink our water. We contacted McMahon Water Service. They were able to tell us what we needed immediately. They installed an Entipur system soon thereafter. It was one of the best investments we ever made. We immediately saw and tasted the difference in our water. We gladly drink our water now and no more scrubbing the fixtures. Also no filters to change. McMahon will come out once per year to service our system. We are very happy with McMahon and recommend them highly to anyone with water problems.

    The sulfur and iron in our water was ruining everything. I called Ed and he was immediately able to tell me what I would need and what it would cost. They came out literally the next day and within a couple of hours I was all set. It's been a month and our water is perfect. They have even followed up personally to see how things are going. I highly recommend this company.

  • Excellent service! Very professional and efficient! After calling several other companies in the area, I finally got a referral to McMahon's. By far the best I found, most places couldn't even be bothered to respond. Mcmahon's gave me a timeline and an estimate and hit both. They are our new provider for all things well/pump related

  • I bought a home here in Maine three years ago. We were told nothing about previous cleaning/service on the water filters for the well. Of course we used the service on the stickers from "earlier" service calls. Come to find out, the builder/homeowner had been servicing the filters himself! Then when we called the supposed service, they did not take the time to figure out what they needed to do to keep our water clean! To make a little NG story short, Jeff, from McMahon's, took the time to do the job that should have been done years ago, and fixed our problem. Cudo,s to them for hiring great people!!! Highly recommend this company to anyone who wants great service and great employees!!!

    It’s clear that Ed takes pride in his work. He’s also very knowledgeable which gave us the piece of mind we needed. He offered a great install solution to fit a pretty large filtration system in a very small space. He and his assistant were prompt and professional. Kathy, his office manager, was organized and responsive. We are very satisfied with Ed and his team. Highly recommend.
