Identifying a Bad Well Pump
We take a different approach to plumbing services at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of St. John’s. We never pressure homeowners into buying new systems unless it’s the best move for them. However, if your well pump is beyond repair or will have constant issues in the future, we will give you a recommendation for a new well pump. Well pumps should last between 6 and 10 years, but the lifespan will vary depending on whether you have an above-ground jet pump or a submersible pump. Many issues can arise with a pump, but some of the most common signs that you need well pump service include:
- Reduced water pressure
- Odd sounds coming from faucets
- Air spitting from faucets
- Dirty or discolored water
- No water supply at all
- Flooded sections of your yard between your house and the well
- A spike in your utility bills from constantly running the pump
Diagnosing the Cause of a Pump Problem
It can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of a well pump’s problem. This is even more difficult if you don’t have years of plumbing experience like our trained service professionals. It is often easier to notice one of the above issues, but it is not so easy to find the cause of the problem. When we are hired for well pump services, we leave no stone unturned, ensuring that we find the root cause of your pump’s malfunction. Some of the common causes of pump problems include:
- Droughts or dry spells
- Power outages to the pump
- Lack of maintenance
- Overworked pumps
- Inadequate pump size
- Improper water tank maintenance or installation
- Corrosive or abrasive sediment in the water
