How Can I Tell When I Need a New Well Pump?
While there might be signs that you are in the market for a new pump soon, hopefully at a distant point in the future if yours has been correctly installed and has been routinely maintained, there can be a niggling feeling that begin to hang over you that is related to the longevity and performance of your well pump.
You may have experienced sluggish water pressure or even turned on a faucet only to get a trickle of water.
If you’re beginning to second-guess your well pump, here are some early warning signs that something may be wrong. Upon further inspection of your system, you may have to call a professional pump service and repair.
Poor Water Pressure
Low water pressure is possible for lack of water, and for lack of water in sufficient quantity to allow the pump to run full bore.
Pipes in the well house may develop leaks or the pressure tank’s air bladder could be damaged.
This is exactly the type of repair issue that I’d challenge Boylan Water Well Service with.
No Water
You turn on the garden hose, or the faucet in the kitchen, and out comes — nothing. Yes, there is a possibility of an issue, however, our technicians at Boylan Water Well Service and Supply are very well-skilled and prepared to take on all sorts of water well pump repair.
If you have no water flow at all, that will most-likely indicate an issue with the well pump. But no water might be a sign of a different kind of problem. You might just have a blocked line, a pipe is damaged or broken, or your unit may have a blown fuse.

Pump Runs Constantly
We all know that running the air conditioner during the sweltering days and nights of summer will lead to higher utility bills, but if you’ve seen a drastic increase in your electric bill, it may be that your well pump is not performing as it should be and you need a water well pump repair.
Sometimes, when customers see their electric bills climbing through the roof, our Gainesville well pump repair crew has discovered that pumps will start to fail when they get clogged with silt or sand, making it more difficult for your pump to do its job.
Nor is it particularly rare for a check valve to go bad, disrupting the signals to turn on pumps and to pressurize pressure tanks. This process of turning-hot-emitting them off again repeats itself endlessly – it’s very easy to forget you’ve left the bathroom heater switched “on,” thus causing a monumental spike in your electricity payment!
Sputtering Faucet
A deep lowering of the water table by drought or some kind of gases from the water in the ground mixing with the water itself can lead to sputtering water when you turn on your faucet. If such events are not probable for your situation, you either have a corroded or a broken drop pipe that joins the water system to the pump.
Few homeowners are capable of diagnosing pump problems, so in virtually all cases, it’s best to call on us for water well pump repair.
