Include the complete service address, when the problem began and any details you know about the existing pump. You do not need to identify the failed component before calling.
Pressure problems can also involve the well tank. For persistent low pressure, explore our booster pump and pressure services. Our team can help discuss which part of the system needs attention.

Find the source of a water-supply problem
No water at any fixture, weak flow during high demand and a pump that starts and stops unusually often do not all point to the same failure. The well, pump, pressure tank, controls and piping work as a system. Tell us whether the loss of water is complete or intermittent, whether pressure changes during use, and whether neighbors or other buildings on the property have the same issue. If an existing controller displays a code, record it without opening any electrical equipment.
A repair may be possible when the problem is in a replaceable control or connection. A failed pump or equipment that no longer meets the property's needs may require replacement, but the tank and well supply should be assessed first. For a new installation, provide what you know about the well depth, existing pump type and household demand; uncertain details can be confirmed during evaluation.
Questions about well pumps
Does no water mean the pump has failed?
Not necessarily. A blockage, control issue, low well supply or other part of the system can cause similar symptoms.
Why does the pump switch on and off so often?
Rapid cycling can involve the pressure tank or controls as well as the pump. Tell us how the pressure behaves at fixtures.
Can a weak pump be repaired?
That depends on the diagnosis, condition and parts involved. The well system should be checked before a replacement is chosen.
