Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suddenly have no water?+
First, check your circuit breaker to make sure the pump circuit hasn't tripped. Check your pressure gauge — if it reads zero and the pump won't kick on, you likely have a pump, electrical, or pressure switch problem. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
Is it better to repair or replace my pump?+
That depends on the age of the pump, nature of the failure, and cost of repair versus replacement. We give you an honest assessment. Pumps more than 15 years old with major failures are often candidates for replacement rather than repair.
My pressure tank is cycling rapidly. Is that a pump problem?+
Short-cycling is often a pressure tank problem — specifically a waterlogged tank that has lost its air charge — but it also puts extra strain on your pump. We diagnose both the tank and the pump to get to the root of the problem.
Do you work on older pump systems?+
Yes. We have experience working on well pump systems of all ages. Older systems may have parts that are harder to source, and we evaluate every situation on its own merits.
