Well Pumps & Pressure Tanks

Why hire a builder for your plumbing
Most plumbers stop at the pipe. A burst line in a second-floor wall or a water heater that flooded a finished basement leaves you calling a drywall crew, a flooring crew, and a painter. We are all of those, under one roof, with one invoice.
- Septic certified — few plumbers in Atchison County are
- We own the excavation equipment for buried lines and tanks
- One company repairs the pipe and the drywall, floor, and paint behind it
- Same crew handles your furnace, water heater, and gas piping in one visit
- Written, upfront pricing before any work starts
- Licensed, insured, and locally owned in Atchison
Plumbing FAQ — Atchison, Kansas
Do you offer plumbing service in Atchison, KS?
Yes. Triple Check Construction provides licensed residential plumbing throughout Atchison and the surrounding countryside — water heaters, leaks and burst pipes, sump pumps, well pumps, septic system installation, and fixture work. Call (913) 426-2588.
Are you septic certified?
Yes — Triple Check Construction is septic certified. We install, repair, and service septic systems, including tanks and lateral fields, and we own the excavation equipment to do the dirt work ourselves instead of subbing it out.
My water heater is leaking — can you replace it today?
Usually, yes. Call us as soon as you see water. Shut off the cold supply valve on top of the heater and, on a gas unit, turn the control to Off. We stock common tank sizes and can often have hot water back the same day.
A pipe burst and water is running — what do I do first?
Shut off the main water supply — normally near the meter, the pressure tank, or where the line enters the basement — and turn it clockwise. Open a low faucet to bleed the pressure, then call (913) 426-2588. Our emergency dispatch page walks through the rest.
Why does my sump pump keep running after storms?
Around Atchison, the reactive clay holds water against the foundation, so the pit refills for days after a heavy rain. That is normal — but a pump that runs constantly is undersized or worn, and a home with no battery backup floods the first time the power goes out mid-storm.
Do you service well pumps and pressure tanks?
Yes. Rural homes outside Atchison run on wells, and we handle pump replacement, pressure tank sizing, short-cycling diagnosis, and no-water calls that city plumbers will not drive out for.
Can you handle the damage the leak caused, not just the pipe?
Yes, and that is the real difference. Because we build homes, we repair the wet subfloor, replace the drywall, and repaint — so you get one company and one invoice instead of a plumber who leaves a hole in your ceiling.
