A family company serving Aldie
Oasis Well Service has been working on wells since 1987. We are three generations: Ken, his son John, and his grandson Brandon. Aldie is out along Route 50 (John Mosby Highway) and Route 15, where most lots are still on private wells.
Call 703-791-3981 first. We can often figure out what is wrong by phone, which saves time for both of us.
Common reasons Aldie homeowners call for well pump repair
- Low water pressure that gets worse over time.
- No water after a storm or power outage.
- A pump that runs constantly.
- A breaker that trips when the pump starts.
If your pump is tripping the breaker, see our post on a well pump that keeps tripping the breaker. Turn the breaker off and leave it off until we talk.
For most of these, a few minutes on the phone gets us close. Tell us what the pressure gauge reads and whether anything changed recently, like a storm, an outage, or new fixtures. If the answer is simple, we will tell you how to handle it safely. If it is not, we plan the trip.
Buying or selling a home with a well
Homes in Loudoun change hands often, and a well is part of what you are buying. A well inspection looks at the physical parts and runs a yield and flow test. We also test for bacteria, lead and nitrates.
Our post on buying a home with a well explains what to ask for before closing.
A sale is also a good time to think about the age of the pump. Pumps last on average 10 to 15 years. Knowing roughly where a pump sits in that range helps buyers plan ahead.
Replacement and constant pressure
When a pump is worn out, we replace it with Gould, Myers or Grundfos. Many homeowners ask about Grundfos constant pressure systems, which keep pressure steady when several faucets run at once. Installs come with a 5-year warranty.
Water quality in Loudoun
Parts of Loudoun sit on crystalline rock, and low pH water shows up there. If you see blue-green stains, ask about acid neutralizers.
