Hello,
Our family recently moved into a home on a well, and because our prior homes had city water, we feel pretty clueless. Last month our well tank went bad, and we had it replaced. Shortly after it was replaced, we started to hear a loud vibrating noise every time we run any water in the house (hot, cold, flush toilet, etc). It starts approximately 20-30 seconds after flushing a toilet or running water, and the sound and vibration last for about 10 seconds. The problem seems to be getting worse, as it is lasting longer and seems louder.
Any ideas? My father in law is very handy, but inexperienced w wells, so he may be able to fix the problem once its diagnosed, but we aren't sure where to start. He actually installed the well tank when a plumber confirmed that was the problem. Could the sound be related to that?
Oh, and the noise seems to be the worst right under the kitchen floor (not in the basement with the well tank, sump pump, water heater, etc)
We live in IL and are scared that if we dont address this now, it could turn into an emergency situation in the dead of winter.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
