  • "I have no water at all"

    Possible causes: Pump failure, loss of power, tripped breaker, broken pipe, check valve failure, well ran dry

    Our approach: We test electrical power first, then check pump operation, examine well depth and water level, and inspect all system components to identify the exact cause.

    "My well pump runs constantly"

    Possible causes: Pressure switch stuck, waterlogged pressure tank, leak in system, pump pulling air, undersized pump

    Our approach: We check pressure switch settings, test tank pre-charge, inspect for leaks, verify pump sizing, and test check valve operation.

    "Water pressure is very low"

    Possible causes: Partially clogged pipes, failing pump, incorrect pressure switch setting, waterlogged tank, restricted flow

    Our approach: We measure actual pressure and flow, inspect pump performance, check tank operation, and examine the entire distribution system.

    "Well was working fine, now it's dry"

    Possible causes: Seasonal water table drop, pump set too shallow, well screen clogged, aquifer depletion, pump malfunction

    Our approach: We measure static water level, test pump at various depths if possible, and recommend solutions ranging from lowering the pump to well rehabilitation or deepening.

    "Breaker keeps tripping"

    Possible causes: Shorted wiring, failing pump motor, damaged cable, water in control box, overloaded circuit

    Our approach: We test electrical components systematically, check insulation resistance, inspect all connections, and identify the electrical fault before making repairs.
