What water quality problems does Reichart treat?

Reichart treats a wide range of water quality issues common to south-central Pennsylvania wells, including bacteria, iron, pH imbalance, hardness, manganese, sulfur, turbidity, and nitrates. The process begins with water sampling and analysis performed by our licensed professional hydrogeologist. Once the test results identify what is present in your supply, Reichart engineers a treatment system sized to your property's specific conditions rather than applying a standard off-the-shelf product.

How do I know if my well pump needs repair or replacement?

Common signs that your well pump may need attention include a noticeable drop in water pressure, a pump that cycles on and off frequently, discolored or sandy water, and unusually high electric bills. If your system stops producing water entirely, call 717-632-2249 for emergency service. Reichart's crew will evaluate the pump, motor, pressure tank, and controls to determine whether a repair or full replacement is the most effective path forward for your property.

Does Reichart provide well repair and rehabilitation for existing systems?

Yes. Well repair and rehabilitation is a core part of what we do alongside new well drilling. Reichart performs borehole cleaning, chemical well development, well deepening, and direct well repair for systems that are underperforming. Downhole video camera inspections allow the crew to see inside the well casing and identify the specific cause of reduced output before recommending a course of action.

Geothermal Loop Installation Service

Reichart has been installing geothermal loop systems since 1980, a quarter of a century before other geothermal companies opened their doors. Our installations incorporate both open and closed loop technology to tap into the earth's natural capacity to provide both heating and cooling throughout the year.

Submersible Pump - Geothermal Loop Installation in Hanover, PA

Geo systems have a dual-purpose: they perform both heating and air conditioning. Using a system of below-ground pipes, termed a loop, geo systems take advantage of the earth's constant temperature, 56 degrees in our area.

The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, estimates that geo systems save consumers between 30 - 70% in heating costs and between 20 - 50% in cooling costs

Currently, the residential geothermal tax credit will give you 30% of the installation cost back with no upper cap on expense and the commercial tax credit is 10%.

The key to putting the earth's natural capacity to heat and cool to work for you is to achieve optimal efficiency in geo design, installation, and operation.

Reichart is the name to trust for your geo project. We engineer our systems for efficiency to save you money over the life of the system by incorporating the latest products and methodologies. Efficiency is not just the lowest installation cost!
