Wells & Pumps in Belmont, NH

Belmont runs from the Winnisquam shoreline back through the old mill village to rural roads toward Gilmanton. The subdivision building of the 1970s through 1990s dominates the well stock here, and that era's systems are now reaching the age where everything in them comes due at once.

What the Ground Does in Belmont

The dominant Belmont story is a timing one. A great deal of this town was built between 1970 and 1995 on drilled bedrock wells, and the components of a well system have roughly overlapping service lives. Submersible pumps commonly run fifteen to twenty-five years; pressure tanks somewhat less; pressure switches and check valves less again. Thirty to fifty years in, a house is frequently on its second pump and its first tank, or the reverse, and the mismatch is where problems start.

The most common failure we find in this housing is a pressure tank that has lost its air charge, which causes the pump to cycle on and off rapidly every time water is drawn. Short-cycling is quiet, it is easy to live with for months, and it destroys pumps. Many Belmont pump replacements would have been tank replacements if someone had checked the tank a year earlier. Down toward Winnisquam the shoreline properties add the seasonal-draw pattern common to lake housing across the region.

Belmont Note

If your pump kicks on and off rapidly when you run a tap, stop and get the pressure tank checked. Short-cycling is the most common cause of premature pump failure in Belmont, and the tank is far cheaper than the pump it is destroying.
