Well Pump Repair and Replacement
Most no-water calls turn out to be the pump, the pressure switch, or the wiring rather than the well itself. We pull the pump, test the components, and replace what has actually failed.

Common symptoms
No water at all
Could be the pump, the control box, the pressure switch, a tripped breaker, or a wiring fault. Diagnosis comes before replacement.
Pump runs constantly
Often a leak in the drop pipe, a failing check valve, or a pump that can no longer keep up with demand.
Short cycling
The pump starting and stopping every few seconds is usually the pressure tank, not the pump. Replacing the pump without fixing the tank kills the new pump too.
Air spitting from taps
Can mean a dropping water level, a cracked drop pipe, or a pump set too shallow.
No water, or a pump that keeps cycling?
Describe what the water is doing and when it started. Most of the time we can narrow it down before we even get there.
