I'm hoping for someone out there who has had to remedy/fix a similar issue or someone who has a reliable plumber to contact in the Meredith area who would diagnose and help fix this issue.

Your pressure tank may be low on air. It probably needs replacing but it's easy to check. There is an air valve on top, you can check it with a tire gauge.
It should have about 35psi. It may be something else, but I remember this happening to me, and I kept filling it until I could replace it.
It could also be the check valve that keeps the water from draining back down when the pump shuts off, not as easy to check.
