Not sure if your well pump is working properly? Here are common warning signs to watch for:
- No Water: The most obvious sign something’s wrong. If your faucets are dry, your pump may have failed or there could be an issue with the pressure switch or electrical system.
- Low Water Pressure: A gradual or sudden drop in water pressure could indicate a failing pump, clogged pipes, or an issue with the pressure tank.
- Short-Cycling: If your pump frequently turns on and off in short bursts, it could be due to a faulty pressure switch or air charge in the pressure tank.
- Air Spitting From Faucets: This can mean air is entering your water lines, often due to a drop in water level or pump problems.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, humming, or banging noises from your well system should never be ignored. These could point to mechanical wear or electrical issues.
- High Electric Bills: A struggling pump often works overtime, which can spike your energy costs.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for a professional inspection and diagnosis.
