Check Valve Install & Leak Repair

Check Valve Installation and Leak Repair

At WaterTech Well Solutions, we recently installed a new check valve and repaired a PVC pipe leak beneath a pressure switch on a residential well system in South Mississippi. Both repairs were essential for keeping the system compliant with Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) regulations and ensuring the well continues to operate safely and efficiently.

The Importance of Check Valves

According to MDEQ well system requirements, every water well must include at least one functioning check valve, and some setups require two depending on system depth and design. A check valve prevents water from flowing backward into the well, maintaining proper pressure and protecting the pump, pressure tank, and plumbing components from damage or premature wear.

Without a properly installed or functioning check valve, a well pump can lose prime, cycle excessively, or fail altogether — leading to costly repairs. Installing and testing check valves regularly helps ensure consistent pressure, energy efficiency, and longer pump life.

Leak Detection and Repair

During inspection, our technicians discovered a small but persistent leak in the PVC line just beneath the pressure switch. Even minor leaks like this can cause serious problems over time — including pressure loss, pump overwork, and wasted water. We repaired the damaged section, pressure-tested the line, and verified the entire system was functioning within proper MDEQ specifications.

Preventative Maintenance Matters

Regular inspection and maintenance of your well system help prevent minor issues from becoming major failures. Our MDEQ-certified professionals ensure every repair, connection, and component meets strict safety and performance standards so your system runs reliably year-round.
