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

had a last minute water issue, i called 9 possible plumbers this dude was the only one to return my call and he did it quickly; probably a good idea to call him first next time
February 14, 2019We 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.
February 14, 2020I now understand why someone referred this company to me. They are an amazing company and provide excellent customer service. Today's installation with Nate and Sean did exceed expectations. Proud to say McMahon's Water Services will be maintaining our systems going forward. I highly recommend you give them a call.

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
February 14, 2021Ed serviced both our water pressure tank and our water softener system. We were extremely pleased with his prompt return of our request for service. We call his office at 10:00 am and he was at our house by 5:00 pm investigating our issues. Ed was very professional and knowledgeable about what we needed to correct our issues and explained everything to us in laymen’s terms. He gave us a quote and a timetable for the service and honored both, no hidden costs or last minute up-charges. Both my wife and I were very comfortable talking with him and allowing him access to our home. I would highly recommend McMahon Water Services to anyone and look forward to dealing with him in the future for our routine maintenance needs. Great job Ed and as far as I’m concerned, you deserve 10 stars!
February 14, 2020I'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'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.
February 14, 2019The best water treatment, service and maintenance company around! Water testing, filtration and related solutions!
February 14, 2021We 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!
