Well pump installations and replacements FAQs

You'll know your well pump is broken if you notice dirty or cloudy water, loud noises from the pump, inconsistent water pressure, or air sputtering from your faucets. Unexplained increases in your water bills can also indicate a problem. If you experience any of these signs, it's important to consult a professional promptly to prevent further damage.

With regular maintenance, a well pump lasts between 8 and 15 years. Factors such as the pump's quality, level of usage, water sediment levels, and frequency of servicing affect its lifespan. Hard water with high mineral content causes sediment buildup, leading to premature wear. Regular inspections and timely repairs help extend the life of your pump. If your pump is aging or showing signs of trouble, it may be time to consider a replacement.

It depends on the type of pump. A single line shallow pump can pump water 25 feet deep and then into your home. A 3/4 HP submersible pump can draw water from a depth of up to 250 feet. A deep well jet pump can pump water from up to 400 feet below ground.

While it’s important to check your individual homeowners policy, well pumps in need of replacement due to damage from a storm or fire are usually covered by insurance. The costs associated with well pumps that are in need of replacement after reaching their natural lifespan will likely not be covered by homeowners insurance.

Replacing a well pump takes a professional between half a day to a full day to complete. The exact time depends on factors such as the pump type, well depth, and accessibility. Shallow well pumps are quicker to replace, while deep submersible pumps require more time due to extensive piping and wiring. Scheduling with a qualified contractor ensures the replacement is done safely and minimizes disruption to your water supply.

Prevent well pump failure by scheduling regular maintenance, testing water quality, and addressing issues promptly. Install sediment filters to reduce mineral buildup and ensure proper water flow. Avoid overworking the pump by monitoring water usage, especially during dry periods. Installing a low-water cutoff switch prevents the pump from running when the well is low. Proactive care extends the life of your pump and keeps your water system running smoothly.
