FAQs
What are the most common signs that my well pump needs repair?
Watch for reduced or no water flow, fluctuating water pressure, air sputtering from faucets, higher-than-normal electric bills, or the pump cycling on and off rapidly. Any of these symptoms can indicate worn impellers, a failing pressure switch, or a leak in the drop pipe. Contact us as soon as you notice a change so we can diagnose the problem before it leads to a complete loss of water.
How quickly can you respond to a no-water emergency in Huntland?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Huntland and the surrounding countryside. For total water loss situations, a technician is typically on-site within 2–4 hours, even after hours or on weekends. Our trucks are stocked with common replacement parts—pressure switches, capacitors, control boxes, and pipe fittings—so most repairs can be completed during the first visit.
Do you service both submersible and jet well pumps?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers repair, replace, and install ½-hp to 5-hp submersible pumps as well as shallow- and deep-well jet pumps. We carry OEM parts for major brands such as Grundfos, Goulds, Franklin, and Myers. Whether your pump is located 300 feet down a drilled well or mounted above ground in a pump house, we have the equipment and expertise to restore proper operation.
What does a typical well-pump repair cost?
Costs vary with depth, pump size, and the parts needed. Minor fixes like replacing a pressure switch or control box usually range from $150–$350. Pulling a submersible pump to replace a motor or impeller assembly can run $800–$1,500, depending on depth and pipe length. After an on-site inspection, we provide a written estimate and obtain your approval before any work begins—no surprise charges.
Will you check my pressure tank and water quality during the service call?
Absolutely. A failing pressure tank can mimic pump problems, so we always test tank pressure, inspect the bladder, and verify pressure-switch settings. If requested, we can also collect water samples to test for bacteria, hardness, iron, and pH. Addressing water quality issues at the same time prevents premature wear on the repaired pump and improves overall system performance.
How can I extend the life of my well pump once it’s repaired?
Schedule an annual inspection to adjust pressure settings, test amperage draw, and flush the well if sediment levels rise. Keep the well cap sealed, maintain a sanitary well pad, and install a sediment filter if your water contains sand or grit. Finally, avoid running garden hoses for long periods when pressure drops—continuous cycling is the pump’s biggest enemy. These steps can add years to your pump’s service life and reduce future repair costs.
