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.
Well Pump & Water Treatment Testimonials

As a realtor listing a property sometimes water quality issues manifest. Recently my sellers were surprised by their water test and needed help to resolve the issue quickly. As this was a cash buy the closing date was tight in relation to inspections. Thankfully McMahon's Water was accommodating and professional. I would definitely recommend their services.

February 14, 2019I'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.

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!!!
