6 Signs of Well Pump Failure

There are several signs that can indicate your well pump needs repair.

Here are six common indicators to watch out for:

• Low Water Pressure. If you notice a significant decrease in water pressure throughout your home, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning well pump. The pump may not be supplying water with sufficient force, indicating a problem that needs attention.
• No Water or Intermittent Water Supply. If you turn on your faucets or showers and there is no water or if the water supply is sporadic, it could be a sign of a faulty well pump. This could be caused by a variety of issues, such as a malfunctioning motor or a clogged impeller.
• Strange Noises. Unusual noises coming from the well pump can indicate a problem. If you hear grinding, rattling, or banging sounds, you might have a mechanical issue within the pump.
• Higher Energy Bills. A sudden increase in your electric bill without any other explanation could be attributed to a malfunctioning well pump. The pump may be working harder than necessary, leading to higher energy usage.
• Constantly Running Pump. If your well pump runs continuously, even when water isn't being used, it may indicate a problem. This could be due to a faulty pump pressure switch or a leaking drop line.
• Dirty or Cloudy Water. If the water from your well appears dirty, cloudy, or has a strange odor, it could be a sign of a pump issue. The pump may be pulling sediment or contaminants into the water supply, indicating a need for repair or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a well pump last?

On average, well pumps last 15-25 years. If you haven’t had to replace your well pump yet, it’s something you might have to do at some point.

What causes a well pump to fail?

Below are a few factors that lead to well pump failure:

• Broken Check Valves. The check valve prevents water from flowing back into the well. Over time, a broken check valve can cause your well pump to burn out. If your pressure tank switch is clicking on and off more frequently, the check valve might be bad.
• Age. Like any mechanical equipment, well pumps have a limited lifespan. As they age, their internal components can deteriorate, leading to eventual failure.
• Electrical Issues. Power surges, voltage fluctuations, or electrical malfunctions can damage the pump's motor or electronics.

I don’t have any water - is my well pump bad?

It’s common to jump to conclusions, but no water doesn’t necessarily mean your well pump is bad.

A common problem of no water or intermittent water is a faulty pressure switch or a clogged pressure switch nipple. If you’re dealing with water flow issues, request a service today - we’ll be glad to help.
