Well Pump Installation in Glen Allen

Nearly 50 Years Serving Richmond-Area Homeowners on Private Well Systems

Since 1976, R.J. Tilley Plumbing & Remodeling has been the Richmond area’s trusted resource for residential plumbing, including well pump installation for homeowners on private water systems. Founded by Rick and Judy Tilley and now led by the second and third generations of the family, we bring nearly 50 years of hands-on plumbing experience to every job in Glen Allen and the surrounding communities.

When your well stops delivering reliable water pressure, the question isn’t always whether to repair or replace. It’s knowing which part of the system is at fault. Our plumbers diagnose the full picture, from the pump motor and pressure switch to the bladder and drop pipe, and when replacement is the right call, the same team handles the installation. No handoff to a separate contractor.

If you’re dealing with low water pressure, a well pump that won’t stop running, or no water at all, call us now at (804) 979-2525. We offer same-day and 24-hour emergency service across Glen Allen and nearby neighborhoods.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Rather Than Repair

Some well pump problems are worth repairing. Others point toward replacement. Persistently weak or absent water pressure, faucets that spit air, and a pump that short-cycles or runs constantly are all signs the system has reached a decision point. For a newer pump, a targeted repair often makes sense. For an aging unit nearing the end of its expected service life, proactive replacement can help reduce the chance of a full failure at the worst possible moment. Most residential well pumps last roughly 10 to 20 years depending on water quality and operating conditions.

New well construction also requires pump installation before the well can supply water to the home. Whether you’re replacing an aging unit or outfitting a newly drilled well, our team advises on the right pump for your well depth, household demand, and water quality conditions.

Serving Glen Allen & the Greater Richmond Area

We install and replace well pumps across Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, and Richmond counties. Not every property in Henrico County is connected to public water service, and private wells remain common throughout this part of Central Virginia. If your home relies on a well, R.J. Tilley Plumbing & Remodeling is equipped to keep it running.
