Repair is essential for maintaining a reliable water supply for your home or property. Understanding common issues and their solutions can help you address problems. As a family business, we deliver well repair services quickly and efficiently.
Here are some common problems that require well repair:
- Low Water Pressure. Clogged pipes, a failing pump, or a depleted aquifer can cause low water pressure. Solutions range from cleaning or replacing pipes to repairing the pump or even deepening the well if the water table has dropped.
- Contaminated Water. Surface water intrusion, a failing well seal, or nearby pollution sources can contaminate your water. We can provide shock chlorination, repair the well casing and cap, or install a water treatment system.
- Pump Failure. This may stem from electrical problems, worn-out components, or sediment buildup. Fixing this means checking electrical connections, replacing damaged parts, or installing a new pump if the old one is beyond repair.
- Clogged Well Screens. Caused by mineral deposits or sediment accumulation, this problem can be remedied through well rehabilitation techniques like chemical treatment or mechanical surging.
- Cracked Well Casings. This happens due to age, ground shifting, or improper installation, which might require installing a liner or, in severe cases, drilling a new well.
- Dry Wells. To increase water yield, we may need to deepen the well, reduce water usage, or consider hydrofracturing.
- Noisy Pump Operation. Often caused by worn bearings, loose parts, or air in the system, this can usually be resolved by tightening connections, replacing worn components, or bleeding air from the system.
When facing these well repair issues, it’s crucial to regularly test your water quality, monitor well performance and water levels, keep detailed maintenance records, and work with licensed well professionals for complex repairs. While homeowners can address some minor issues, many well repair tasks require specialized knowledge and equipment. We would happily discuss your concerns and get them fixed as soon as possible.
