Signs Your Well Pump Needs Repair
A well system usually warns you before it quits. These are the signs worth a call.
No Water at the Taps
Every faucet in the house goes dry at once. The pump, its power, the pressure switch or the tank has stopped doing its job.
Pressure That Rises and Falls
The shower goes strong, then weak, then strong again. That often points to the pressure tank or the switch, not the pump itself.
A Pump That Clicks on and Off
Short cycling means the pump starts and stops every few seconds while water runs. It wears a pump out fast.
Sputtering Faucets or Cloudy Water
Air or sediment in the water can mean the water level dropped, a pipe in the well leaks or the pump is pulling from too low.
A Higher Electric Bill
A pump that runs longer than it should costs more to run. A leak or a failing check valve can keep it going.
Repair the Part That Failed, Replace the Pump When It's Done
Your technician checks the system from the breaker to the faucet: power to the pump, the pressure switch, the pressure tank and the water coming up the well. If one part failed, we fix that part. If the pump is worn out, we price a new one.
When One Part Failed
Well Pump Repair
A bad pressure switch, a waterlogged tank, a failing check valve or a wiring fault can stop the water while the pump itself still works. Fixing that part usually costs less than a new pump.
When the Pump Is Worn Out
Well Pump Replacement
When the pump motor has failed or the pump can't keep up, it comes out and a new one goes in, matched to your well and your home's water use.

Well Pump Repair & Replacement Questions
Do You Repair Well Pumps or Only Replace Them?
Both. Many no-water calls turn out to be a pressure switch, a pressure tank or wiring, and those get repaired. When the pump itself has failed, we replace it.
How Much Does Well Pump Repair or Replacement Cost in Fredericksburg, VA?
It's priced on site after we test the system, because the cost depends on which part failed and on your well. You get the price in writing before any work starts. The dispatch fee is $89, waived when you go ahead on site. After-hours and emergency dispatch is $189 and is never credited back.
My Well Has No Water. Is That an Emergency?
Yes. No water is one of the problems we treat as an emergency. Call (540) 518-2564. Calls are answered 24/7, and after-hours visits are case by case, subject to availability.
How Do I Know If It's the Pump or the Pressure Tank?
Pressure that swings up and down and a pump that clicks on and off every few seconds usually point to the tank. No water at all can be either one. See our guides to how a submersible well pump works and well pressure switch problems.

Well Guides From Clog Heroes
How Well Water Works, From the Aquifer to Your Faucet, Part by Part
How does groundwater get from the aquifer to your faucet? A pump near the bottom of the well pushes it up to a pressure tank that holds 40 to 60 PSI, and a switch restarts the pump whenever the pressure drops.
Four Signs Your Well Pressure Switch Is Failing and What Causes It
Short cycling, no pressure, a pump that won't shut off or pressure that swings all point to the switch that tells your well pump when to run. Here's why switches fail and how they're tested and replaced.
What a Well Pump House Does and How It Keeps Your Pump From Freezing
Inside a pump house sits the equipment that moves water from your well into the house, sheltered from freezing. Five signs say yours needs attention.
