Submersible Well Pumps
When it comes to dependable water delivery from your well, submersible pumps are the gold standard—and the specialty of Folkes Home Services. These pumps operate below ground, submerged directly in the well water, where they push water up to your home through a series of internal impellers.
The advantage of submersible pumps is their efficiency and reliability. They use less energy to deliver more water and are quieter than above-ground alternatives. Many can run for 20+ years with minimal maintenance. They’re ideal for both shallow and deep well applications, though they require professional installation and retrieval due to their placement deep inside the casing.
Whether you’re building a new home, replacing an aging pump, or dealing with low water pressure, our expert team will help you choose and install the right submersible system for your property.

Shallow Well Systems
For properties with water tables less than 25 feet deep, shallow well systems are a smart, cost-effective option. These wells are typically paired with submersible pumps installed just below the water level to maintain consistent pressure and flow.
Shallow systems are common in areas around Poughkeepsie where the water source is easily accessible. While they tend to be easier to service, proper sizing, installation, and water testing are still crucial for long-term performance. Our team will inspect your well’s depth, capacity, and construction to ensure your setup is optimized from the ground up.
Deep Well Systems
If your property draws from a water source deeper than 25 feet, you’ll need a properly sized deep well system to meet your household’s demands. These systems use high-performance submersible pumps placed hundreds of feet below ground, where they pressurize and push water up through long pipe runs.
At Folkes, we’ve installed deep well pumps across the Hudson Valley for decades. Our technicians account for well depth, drawdown levels, pump lift, and gallons per minute (GPM) requirements—so your family never runs out of water. We also inspect and replace pressure tanks, check valves, and control boxes to make sure your system works as efficiently as possible.
