How to Know When You Need a New Well Pump
If your home relies on a well for water, the pump is the heart of your system. Like any hardworking piece of equipment, well pumps don’t last forever. Recognizing the warning signs early can save you from costly repairs, well pump replacement, or a sudden loss of water.
Signs Of A Bad Well Pump:
Low or inconsistent water pressure – Faucets sputter, or showers run weak.
Strange noises – Grinding, clicking, or humming may signal mechanical issues.
Air in the water line – Faucets spitting air bubbles is a classic symptom.
Discolored or murky water – Sediment may be getting pulled into your system.
Frequent cycling – The pump turns on and off more often than it should.
