MATTHEWS WELL & PUMP INC

Wells and Pumps, Plumbing, Water Filtration and Softening

About us

Matthews Well & Pump was founded in 1960 by the late Jack Matthews and purchased by Todd and Jill Vander Pol in 1989. Since then the Vander Pols have sought to put their Dutch business heritage to good use. Our business model has been to use the best and most-innovative equipment available and then, through a strenuous hiring and training process, bring on board technicians and office staff who share our view that the business exists to meet the needs of our customers. Mr. Vander Pol encourages everyone to “do what you do and do it well!”. Since your well is unique from your neighbor’s well- based on the original construction, materials used and the strata the well is constructed through- we work with you as our customer to get an understanding of your past experience with your well’s “normal performance” and the concern we now want to address. Then through a data-gathering process developed over the last 30 years our technicians can normally identify one or more options to correct or improve your concern. In many instances we can then give you an on site estimate of the cost to perform the work. In some situations we will not have all the data required to provide a firm estimate, in which case we would work on a time and material basis with your approval. We stock nine different well pumps on our service trucks along with pipe, wire, pressure tanks, switches etc. Ninety percent of the time we can correct a well pump problem with one service call! We look forward to working with you and continuing to serve our community for years to come! We service the metro-Richmond area and surrounding counties.

Description of Work: Matthews Well Service installed a new well water pump and pressure tank for us for about $1800 total. They were punctual, very professional, and very personable. I was quite surprised at how quickly the job was accomplished and they left the area very clean. I would definitely recommend them and will hire them again.

Description of Work: We were having a problem with the water pressure cycling up and down and had sand clogging the faucet aerators and toilet valves. Talked to Nacey and Todd in the office and was told that they would send Clay that afternoon. Clay came on time and found that the bladder tank was broken. He replaced the tank and added an inline filter and the system has never worked better. Matthews Well and Pump seems to be an outstanding company who puts the customer first, and their workmanship is very professional.

They placed us on top of their priority list because we did not have water. When they left we had running water. We were advised to get a new expansion tank because ours was about 15 yrs old.
Description of Work: The company installed 1/2 V Goulds submersible pump. They returned to install well-x Trol expansion tank because it had to be ordered to get the right size.

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Matthews Well and Pump. Everyone we dealt with was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Todd and Nancy were both very helpful in setting up the appointments and the system design, and Clay - the gentleman who performed the work - was one of the.best service professionals we have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was friendly, professional, and meticulous in keeping his worksite tidy and clean. His plumbing work was flawless, and he was very considerate of our family's needs (always notifying us when the water would be off, and for how long, etc.) We also were very thankful for the company's straightforward pricing and follow-through. We never felt as though they we just trying to sell us something; rather, they developed an effective solution to the particular challenges of our well system. Again - terrific experience all around!
Description of Work: They analyzed our water and determined what we needed to remove the iron from our well water. Before they installed our new filtration system, our water was a brownish tint and constanly staining our toliets and clothing. The day they installed our new system, our water was perfecty clear.

I initially called another company because I had no water at all coming into my house from my well. The other company came out and replaced my well pump. I did get water again, but the pressure was low. The workers told me that I had plenty of water in my well. Within 45 minutes of leaving, I again had no water. I had another visit from that company later that night who told me that my water level was low and that I should leave the breaker switch off so that the pump did not come on and maybe the water level would come up. This was not at all what I believed to be the case because I have a 30 foot well and have never had water problems. This is when I called Matthews. In the above paragraph I described the work done by Clay, the worker from the Matthews company. He saw that the gauge that shows whether I have water pressure in the well was frozen and should have been replaced. Once he did that he could see that there was a definate issue with getting water to the house even though the pump was working fine and the well was full of water. By the time he left I had water and good water pressure.
Description of Work: I called their office at 8:00 am to report that I had no water at all. I was told that this was a priority call and they would be out as soon as possible. By 11:00 am that day a truck with the Matthew's Logo pulled into my driveway. A young man in a clean khaki work uniform presented me with his card and began to assess the problem. He was knowledgable and professional and went right to work. He was able to determine that my well was full of water and that the pump was working properly. He found a leak between my house and the well and the leak was located under my deck. To reach the leak he crawled under the deck instead of cutting through it to get to the site. He went above and beyond what he needed to do to fix my problem and to cause as little disruption as possible. Throughout the process he explained what he was doing and I was absolutely sure that he would know how to find and fix the cause of my not having any water. I would recommend this company to anyone and would absolutely use them again if I ever have another problem.

They did a good job. A year before that they came out and they put a new pump in our well and they come out yearly for the service. They are courteous and really great to work with and they're honest. The owner Ted Vanderpole came up himself and talk to my husband. He told us everything what happened and why we needed it and it was true, because the acidity of the water is wearing away the copper pipes. Their price are average because we check on that.
Description of Work: Matthews Well & Pump installed a water softening system because our well is too acidic, because the well is almost 30 years old.

It took days to find a company willing to respond. Not only was the responding crew professional in their work, their office receptionist "Nancy" was extremely professional and courteous. She called numerous times to keep me informed of their schedule and their anticipated arrival time. It was a pleasure to work with this company and I would not hesitate to call them again for any well problems.
Description of Work: It was necessary to use a trencher to dig down to the connection at the well to replace a cracked ball valve which was replaced, checked the pump and pumping system, replaced a filter and charged two tanks. The fee charged also included use of trenching machine for 3 hours.
