Age and Wear
As with any equipment, age and wear can affect the performance and reliability of a well pump. On average, well pumps have a lifespan of around 8-10 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If your well pump is nearing or has exceeded this timeframe, it may be prudent to consider a replacement. At Southeast Plumbing & Heating, we can assess your well pump and recommend a suitable replacement based on its age and overall condition.
Declining Water Pressure
A significant decrease in water pressure is a common sign of a failing well pump. If you notice that your faucets, showerheads, or irrigation system are not delivering adequate water pressure, it could be due to a worn-out or malfunctioning well pump. Luckily, our expert plumbing technicians have the skills to diagnose this issue and determine whether a well pump replacement is necessary to restore optimal water pressure.
Frequent Repairs and Breakdowns
Are you experiencing frequent breakdowns or repairs with your well pump? This can be a clear indication that your current well pump is no longer reliable and may need replacement. Constant repairs can be both costly and inconvenient, and replacing the well pump might be a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
Changes in Water Quality
Changes in the quality of your well water, such as unusual color, odor, or taste, could be a result of a failing well pump. A worn-out pump may introduce contaminants into the water supply or indicate that the pump is no longer effectively filtering out impurities. If you suspect any changes in water quality, Southeast Plumbing & Heating can inspect your well pump system and recommend a replacement to ensure clean and safe water for your household.
Whether it’s the age and wear of the pump, declining water pressure, frequent breakdowns, or changes in water quality, Southeast Plumbing & Heating is here to assist you.
