Well Pump Service – Residential Well Pump Repairs, Service, and Maintenance

Many signs can point to a well pump being ‘bad’ or not working at its best, including:

• No water
• Dirty water
• Poor water pressure
• Spitting sounds – air in the pipes
• The pump is constantly running

Whether or not your homeowners’ insurance covers well pumps can depend on your policy and insurance provider. In most cases, home insurance can cover a well pump if a covered peril damages it, but not in the case of an electrical or mechanical failure. Consult your insurance company for more information.

Well pump replacement costs can vary based on type, size, location, installer, and other factors. Most homeowners can expect to pay $900-$3,000, averaging around $1,800. Contact your local plumbing professional to request an estimate.

If you’ve noticed that your well pump is pumping sediment into your tank, it’s time to take action. Mr. Rooter Plumbing can get to the root of the cause, which can often be:

• The pump is too large for your well
• The pump is too low
• The pump has a faulty well screen

Have you noticed that your water is sputtering when you turn on your faucets? Your well pump may be struggling to draw in enough water for its flow rate. When this happens, air can mix with the water and cause spluttering.

Sometimes, spluttering water can also indicate that your pump needs to be re-primed. Talk to our service professionals about providing this service.

Well pumps, their parts, and even well pipes don’t always last forever. Worn-out components may spell the end of your well pump’s service life. When this happens, you may start to notice low water pressure. Talk to Mr. Rooter Plumbing about home well pump repair. We may recommend repairs or replacement based on your well pump’s condition and age.

If you’re experiencing abnormal water pressure in your home’s water well pump, ask your local plumbing service provider about a bad pressure switch. A failing switch can struggle to activate your well pump to ensure consistent water flow. Your chosen plumber can recommend replacing the switch, the tank, or the entire well pump.
