What pressure tank repair involves

A pressure tank stores water under pressure so the pump does not start every time a tap opens. When the air charge is lost or the bladder fails, the pump starts and stops in quick bursts, which is called short cycling.

Signs to watch for in a Humboldt home

Water around the tank or its fittings
A rusty or bulging tank
The pump turns on and off every few seconds while a tap runs
Pressure swings strong to weak and back
