Well pump service questions and answers

25 common questions, answered by Eatonton Plumber Pro, a Georgia master licensed plumbing company (MP210274). Last updated November 10, 2026.

Why does my well pump turn on and off so fast?

Rapid cycling usually means a waterlogged pressure tank, a bad pressure switch or a leak. Left alone it wears out the pump, so it is worth a service call.

How often should a well system be serviced?

A yearly check of the pump, pressure tank and switch catches small problems early. We offer annual preventative maintenance.

Do you test well water?

Yes. We offer water quality testing and well flow testing, and we can install filter systems if the results call for them.

How much does it cost to replace a well pump?

It depends on the pump type, the depth of the well, the horsepower needed, and whether the pressure tank, switch or control box also need replacing. We diagnose the system first and give you the price before any work starts.

How long does a well pump last?

Many well pumps last around 8 to 15 years, depending on water quality, how often the pump cycles and how well the pressure tank is kept up. Rapid cycling and sand in the water shorten pump life.

What is the difference between a submersible pump and a jet pump?

A submersible pump sits down in the well and pushes water up, which suits deeper wells. A jet pump sits above ground and draws water up, which works on shallow wells. We troubleshoot and repair well pump systems for homes and businesses.

Why do I have no water from my well?

Common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, a bad control box, a failed pump motor or a leak that has drained the system. Check the pump breaker first. If it is on, call us and we will troubleshoot it.

What does a pressure tank do?

The pressure tank stores water under pressure so the pump does not have to start every time you open a faucet. When the tank loses its air charge, the pump cycles rapidly and wears out early.

What is a cycle stop valve?

A cycle stop valve lets a well pump run steadily at a matched flow instead of switching on and off over and over. That reduces wear on the pump and gives steadier pressure. We install them.

What is a Dole valve?

A Dole valve is a flow limit valve that caps how much water passes through. It can protect a pump or keep a low-yield well from being drawn down too fast. We install them where they fit the system.

Why is my well water cloudy or sandy?

Sand or sediment can come from a worn pump, a damaged well screen or a pump set too close to the bottom of the well. Cloudy water can also be air or minerals. We test the system to find the cause.

How often should I test my well water?

Health agencies recommend testing private well water at least once a year for bacteria, and again after flooding, repairs or any change in taste, smell or color. We offer water quality testing.

Why does my water pressure surge and drop?

Pressure that swings widely usually points to a pressure tank that has lost its air charge, a failing pressure switch or a pump problem. Left alone, it wears out the pump, so it is worth a service call.

Why does my well pump run nonstop?

A pump that never shuts off can mean a leak in the system, a failed pressure switch, a worn pump that cannot reach cut-off pressure, or a well that is running low. If no water is being used, turn it off at the breaker and call us.

Can you set up the pump in a newly drilled well?

Yes. We install pumps in new wells and install complete water pumping systems, including the pressure tank, controls and the connection to the house.

What is a holding tank system?

A holding tank stores well water so a booster pump can supply the house, which helps with low-yield wells or high demand. We install and repair holding tank systems.

Do you install filters for well water?

Yes. We install and repair filter systems when water testing shows a need, such as sediment, iron, or taste and odor problems.

Can a power outage damage my well pump?

Power surges and repeated short outages can damage pump controls and motors. If your pump does not restart after the power returns, check the breaker and call us rather than resetting it over and over.

How do I protect my well system from freezing?

Insulate the pressure tank, switch and exposed pipes, keep the well house heat or heat tape working in cold weather, and seal drafts. Pipes above ground near the wellhead are the most likely to freeze.

Do you service commercial wells?

Yes. We service and repair water wells for residential and commercial use, including pumps, pressure tanks, controls and holding tanks.
