We serve communities throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Contact us to confirm we cover your location.
We focus only on cisterns: cleaning, sediment removal, inspection, crack and leak repair, sealing and resurfacing, lids, vents and screens, disinfection after cleaning, and UV light installation, plus hand well pump installation.
It depends on usage and water source, but periodic cleaning helps prevent sediment buildup and contamination. We can recommend a schedule for your system.
Water levels dropping faster than usage explains, visible cracks, damp ground around the tank, cloudy or off-smelling water, or damaged lids and screens.
Cleaning and repair work can disturb the tank. Disinfecting before the cistern goes back into use helps keep your stored water clean.
Yes. We install UV (ultraviolet) light systems on your cistern water line. UV light kills or inactivates bacteria and other microorganisms without adding chemicals, but it does not remove sediment or provide lasting residual protection in the tank. Water should be pre-filtered (typically a sediment filter ahead of the UV unit) so particles don't shield microorganisms, and the UV bulb should be replaced about once a year, with the quartz sleeve cleaned periodically.
We install hand well pumps on wells so you have a manual backup water source. Other well and electric pump work is outside our services, which focus on cisterns, UV light installation, and hand well pump installation.
Yes. A hand pump is manual, so it does not need electricity, a generator, or fuel to draw water from your well. It is a backup water source for outages and grid-down situations, not a replacement for your pressurized household system. Whether a hand pump fits depends on your well, so we check that first. Learn about hand well pump installation.
For homes on a well, a hand pump is a simple way to plan for a no-water situation, whether that is a storm, a long outage, or general prepper or Y2K-style preparedness. Pairing it with some stored water and a plan for treating drinking water is a sensible approach.
Every cistern is different. We'll assess the job and give you a clear quote before any work begins.
