Water pump and tank service for steady pressure

Pumps that run but do not lift water, low pressure, faulty float switches and overflowing or dirty tanks — repaired and maintained properly.

Overview

Reliable water supply from tank to tap

When a building relies on a water pump and storage tank, a small fault quickly affects everyone: taps run dry upstairs, showers lose pressure, or the pump runs continuously and the tank overflows. Most of these problems trace back to a handful of causes — worn pump seals, air locks, faulty float switches, blocked foot valves or leaking connections.

Our plumbers diagnose the full system rather than just the pump. We check suction and delivery lines, non-return and foot valves, float and level switches, pressure switches where fitted, and the tank connections, inlet and overflow. Once the fault is found, we repair or replace the failed component and confirm the pump is priming and switching correctly.

We also clean and disinfect storage tanks, fit or replace tank lids and overflow pipes, and install new pumps sized for the height and demand of your building.

Regular maintenance helps pumps last longer and keeps stored water clean and safe to use.

Common questions

Water Pump & Tank Service FAQ

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

This is usually caused by loss of prime, an air leak on the suction side or a faulty foot valve. Running a pump dry can damage it, so switch it off and have it checked.
We recommend cleaning and disinfecting storage tanks at least once or twice a year, and sooner if you notice sediment, discolouration or odours.
Yes. An automatic level controller or float switch can start and stop the pump based on tank level, preventing overflow and dry running.
We can supply and install a new pump sized for your building’s height and demand, and remove the old unit.
