Well pump repair & installation for deep and shallow wells

Signs your well system needs service

• No water at any faucet, or water that stops and starts.
• Low or swinging pressure — strong one minute, weak the next.
• The pump short-cycles: you hear it click on and off every few seconds while water runs.
• The pump runs and runs without shutting off, or the breaker for the pump keeps tripping.
• Air spitting from faucets, or sudden sand, sediment or cloudy water.
• A pressure tank that is waterlogged, rusting, or leaking at the fittings.
• An error light or fault code on a constant pressure controller.

What we do

• Troubleshooting the whole system — pump, pressure switch, control box, wiring, pressure tank and check valves — so we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
• Deep well submersible pumps: pulling, testing and replacing pumps set down in the well casing.
• Shallow well jet pumps: repair and replacement of above-ground pumps, including prime and foot valve problems.
• Pressure tanks: replacement, correct air pre-charge, tank tees, gauges, relief valves and drain valves.
• Pressure switches and controls: replacement and adjustment so the pump starts and stops where it should.
• Constant pressure systems: installation, repair and fault-code diagnosis for variable-speed pump controllers.
• Water quality after the fix: wells in our area often carry iron, hardness or a sulfur smell — we can pair pump work with filtration and treatment or a water softener.

Constant pressure systems

A traditional well system turns the pump fully on at a low pressure setting and fully off at a high one, so you feel the pressure rise and fall in the shower. A constant pressure system uses a variable-speed controller that speeds the pump up or slows it down to hold a steady pressure, even with several fixtures running. They typically use a smaller pressure tank and start the motor more gently. We install them, service them, and track down fault codes when one stops working.
