Job photosOur own, from the field and the shop

Job photos from the crew, the shop and the counter

Every picture here is Akland Pump & Irrigation's own work: pump pulls in the hop yards and orchards, pressure systems in utility rooms, a lawn job with our trencher, and the repair shop and parts counter on Fruitvale Blvd. Years are shown only where the photo's date tells us. For what we do with all of it, see the services or read what customers say on the reviews page.

Wells and pressure systemsUtility rooms, pump vaults, wellheads

Pressure tanks, controllers, drive panels and the plumbing around them. Akland does not drill wells. Once the driller is done, the crew sets the pump and gets the pressure steady.
