Well pumps are built to last, but like any mechanical system, they can wear out over time. Here are some of the most common signs that your well pump may be due for replacement:
- Inconsistent water pressure: If your water pressure fluctuates or suddenly drops, your pump may be struggling to maintain performance.
- No water from your faucets: If your taps run dry and your well hasn’t gone dry, your pump could have failed.
- Pump runs continuously: A pump that won’t shut off might be working too hard, leading to increased wear and utility bills.
- Strange noises or vibrations: Grinding, rattling, or clicking noises from the pump or pipes may signal internal damage.
- Cloudy or dirty water: If sediment is entering your water supply, your pump may be damaged or improperly positioned in the well.
- High electric bills: A failing pump may cycle excessively, consuming more power than usual.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait—contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for a full inspection and honest recommendations on repair or replacement.
Types of Well Pumps We Install
Different homes and wells require different types of pumps. Our team is experienced in installing and replacing all major types, including:
- Submersible Pumps: Installed deep in the well and ideal for deeper water tables, these pumps are efficient and quiet.
- Jet Pumps: Located above ground and suitable for shallow wells, jet pumps are easier to access and maintain.
- Constant Pressure Pumps: These advanced systems maintain steady water pressure, even during high-demand usage.
We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each type and ensure you have the best match for your home and water needs.
