Pressure Tank Replacement in Winston-Salem, NC
Pressure Tank Replacement for Winston-Salem and the surrounding Forsyth County area. Same-day service, written estimates, family-owned since 1946.
Pressure tank replacement in Winston-Salem is the removal of a failed bladder or diaphragm tank and the installation of a properly sized, pre-charged replacement on the well system. T.W. Stanley & Son has been swapping pressure tanks across Winston-Salem and Forsyth County since 1946. A waterlogged or short-cycling tank kills pumps fast, so most Winston-Salem homeowners catch this one the day the symptoms start. We carry common 20-, 32-, 44-, and 86-gallon Well-X-Trol and Amtrol tanks on the truck and finish most swaps in a single visit.

Frequently asked
How do I know my pressure tank needs replacement in Winston-Salem?
Three signs: the pump kicks on every 20 to 60 seconds while you run water (short cycling), the tank feels equally heavy top to bottom when you tap it, or the gauge swings wildly between cut-in and cut-out. Any one of those in a Winston-Salem home almost always means a failed bladder. Replace it before it kills the pump.
What size pressure tank do I need?
Match drawdown to pump runtime. A 1 hp submersible should run at least 1 minute per cycle to avoid overheating, which usually means a 32- or 44-gallon tank for a typical 3-bedroom home. We size to actual pump GPM, not to whatever was there before.
Can you replace just the bladder?
No. Modern bladder tanks are sealed units. When the bladder fails the whole tank gets replaced. It is cheaper and faster than any field rebuild.
Can you come out the same day?
Yes. No-water calls get same-day priority across the Piedmont Triad and our phone is answered 24/7. Most emergency calls are reached on-site within a couple of hours of the first call.
Do you warranty the work?
Yes. You get the full manufacturer warranty on the pump or tank plus our own labor warranty on the install. We answer the phone after the job is done.
Do you stock pressure tanks in trucks running through Forsyth County?
Yes. Our trucks running Forsyth County carry the four most common residential tank sizes (20, 32, 44, 86 gallon) plus pressure switches, gauges, tank tees, and unions so most swaps finish in one visit.
