Overview
Replacing a pump the right way
Most private wells around St. Augustine use either a submersible pump installed down inside the well casing or an above-ground jet pump paired with a shallower well. Either way, the pump works alongside a pressure tank, pressure switch and electrical controls. When the water stops, any of those parts could be responsible, so we test the system before recommending a new pump. If the problem turns out to be a switch, tank or wiring, our well pump repair service may be all you need.
If the pump has failed or no longer matches your needs, the replacement should be sized to the well and to how your household uses water. A pump that's too large can short-cycle and wear out early; one that's too small can leave you with weak pressure. We explain the options, pull the old pump, install the new one, and check the system's pressure and operation before we leave.
Common Reasons
Signs your well pump may need replacing
No water at all
A complete loss of water — especially with the breaker still on — is the most obvious sign. It can also follow a lightning strike or power surge during one of Florida's summer storms.
Pressure that keeps dropping
Weak, declining pressure that doesn't improve after the tank and switch are checked may mean the pump is wearing out.
Constant running or cycling
A pump that runs nonstop or switches on and off rapidly is working harder than it should, and that wear catches up eventually.
Sputtering, air or sand
Air spurting from faucets or sand in the water can point to a pump or well problem worth checking before it gets worse. A well inspection can help sort it out.
