WARNING SIGNS

Some of the symptoms of a well or pump problem are obvious, such as no water at the tap, but others can be more difficult to detect. Low water pressure in your house is another sign of problems. You may notice it in one location, such as low water pressure in the shower, or you may notice the water pressure drops significantly when multiple things are in use, such as when using the dishwasher, washing machine, and sink simultaneously. Fluctuating and inconsistent water pressure can also point to a problem.

In most cases you will not receive a warning that the pump is failing. The pump will just stop running and you will lose all waster pressure. Should your water stop and then start again, it is a sign of possible pump failure and therefore should be looked at by a service technician.

Just pick up the phone and call 24/7 to schedule service. Arrangements will be made to get a service technician out to you.

Within a half an hour of arriving on site, we will diagnose the problem and give you an approximate estimate. The average service time is 2–4 hours from start to finish.

PRESSURE & CONCERNS

Upon noticing these issues, a quick look around your equipment can help tell you what is wrong. If you notice any leaks or water around your tanks and equipment, you may have found your problem. If you have an unexplained increase in what you are paying each month there are several possible explanations from your household water pump equipment. It could be the pump is too weak and is running 24/7 as a result. 

An adjustment can be made to set the desired pressure. However, if the pressure is set too high, leaks may occur. A professional should make the adjustment to the system.

While older wells have been grandfathered in, most local and state codes require new well construction to set the wellhead 18” above the grade. This is done to avoid contamination and to create easier access in emergencies. It can be concealed with an artificial rock or birdbath.

Your pump may be running nonstop, thus consuming more electricity. There may be a broken water pipe or you may have a worn pump. A service crew can determine the problem and make the proper repairs.
