Signs That You Are In Need Of Well Repair

April 22, 2022

Well repair is not something that is an everyday topic of conversation among homeowners. However, when a problem arises with a well, it quickly becomes a top priority. And when that time arrives, it is important to know exactly why there is a need for well repair. Here is a look at some of the signs that indicate well repair is needed.

Wear and Tear

Wells are used every day and time is eventually going to take its toll. A well pump usually is expected to last an average of 10 years. There are numerous factors which will provide your well with another couple of years of use, or take away a couple of years. Those factors include the water quality, frequency of use and level of sediment in the water.

Dry Seasons

Extended periods without rain can cause problems to your well. This will be evidenced by water sputtering out of your household faucets. Another sign involves the clarity of your water. If it is a bit murky or tastes different, there is probably a need for well repair. When this occurs, it usually means that the well pump will have to be lowered as it is not placed at the right depth to contend with extended droughts.

Turning On and Off

Wells that are a little older often contain steel piping, which are susceptible to leaks. When a leak occurs, your pump will continue to turn on and off, even when you are not using your water. This problem could also mean your water system needs to be serviced.

Water Discoloration

The first signs of discolored water should prompt a call to a professional well repair service. This is often caused by the location of the well as some are drilled in areas that have high accumulations of sulfur, iron and other kinds of minerals. The discoloration is a sign of those minerals. The best way to remedy this problem is to install a water filtration system.

No Water

This is the most obvious sign of a problem and it could be due to a variety of issues. Some of the causes could be a blown circuit breaker, a clog in the foot valve, or a broken check valve. In colder regions, it may simply be a case of frozen pipes.
