Common symptoms
Signs Your Well Pump Needs Attention
Well pump trouble usually shows up in how your water behaves. If you notice any of these, it is a good time to call.
No water at all
Faucets run dry or the water stops partway through the day. This can point to the pump, the power or controls, or the well itself.
Low or uneven pressure
Showers that trickle, appliances that fill slowly, or pressure that rises and falls. Pressure problems can have more than one cause.
Sputtering faucets
Air or spurts of water coming out of the tap can be a sign the system is not delivering a steady supply.
A pump that cycles often
If the pump turns on and off more than it used to, something in the system has changed and is worth a look.
Changes in the water
Sand, sediment, or a sudden change in how the water looks can show up when a well system is under strain.
Unusual sounds or higher power use
New noises from the pump or a jump in your electric bill are reasons to have the system checked.

Diagnosis
How We Diagnose a Well Pump Problem
A good repair starts with finding the real cause. Here is how that conversation and inspection generally goes.
- You call and describe what you are seeing, when it started, and whether anything changed beforehand.
- We ask about your well, your pump, and how you use water at the property.
- We look at the whole water system, not only the pump, because the pump, controls, pressure equipment, power, and well can each play a part.
- We explain what we find in plain language and recommend a repair or a replacement that makes sense for your situation.
Repair or replace
Well Pump Repair vs. Replacement
Not every pump problem means a new pump. We look at the condition of your system and recommend the option that fits, and the call is yours to make.
Repair may make sense when
- The problem is limited to one part of an otherwise sound system.
- The pump is in good overall condition for its age and use.
- A fix will restore dependable water for the way you use it.
Replacement may make sense when
- The pump has worn out or has failed repeatedly.
- The pump no longer suits how much water the property needs.
- Repairing it would only delay a replacement you are likely to need soon.
New installations
Well Pump Installation for New and Existing Wells
A pump has to suit the well it serves and the way you use water. We use top-quality parts and offer 5-year warranties. Ask us to explain the details that apply to your job.
New wells
A pump has to be matched to the well it serves. After a new well is drilled, we help you choose and install a pump that fits the well and your plans for the water.
Replacing an old pump
If your current pump is at the end of its life, we can install a replacement and look over the supporting equipment at the same time.
Changing water needs
A new home, a barn, or livestock can change how much water you need. We can talk through whether your current pump still fits.
