Under the right conditions, a well-designed, properly installed well water pump can last for 25 years or more. However, every pump eventually breaks down, especially if your water has a lot of sand or other sediments. Identifying the signs of an impending problem can help ensure you get the water pump repairs you need before serious problems arise.

3 Ways to Know You May Need Water Pump Repairs

1. No Water Pressure

One of the most apparent signs that something is wrong with your pump is no water coming out of the taps. Check the breakers first to make sure your pump is getting power, and call an experienced professional if that doesn’t solve the problem. A cracked seal or broken component can cause your pump to fail completely.

2. Low Water Pressure

3. A Pump That Constantly Runs

Your water pump should shut off when the pressure tank is full, but it may be too weak to keep up with your household’s needs. If your pump is above ground, you should be able to hear it working, but submerged problems can be more difficult to detect. If you notice a sudden spike in your electrical bills, have an expert check to see if a failing water pump is a culprit.
