You rely on your water well to pump water up from the aquifer into your home or business for cooking, cleaning, and bathing. When something goes wrong with your well system, you’re at risk for consuming unsafe water, as well as experiencing an increase in your electric bill. Rather than letting any of these things happen, All’s Well Drilling and Service in Fairbanks, AK, recommends getting an inspection from a well repair company.

If you experience any of the following problems with your running water, contact a well repair company immediately for assistance:

• Air in Your Pipes: If you’ve turned on your faucet and noticed air spraying out with the water, this often means one of two things: that the water level in your well has fallen below where your pump can reach it, or there is a broken valve creating negative pressure. You will need a professional well company to come inspect the drop pipe and fittings to make sure there isn’t a leak that would allow water to fall back into the aquifer.
• Rise in Utility Bills: Your well pump shouldn’t be running all of the time, but a dysfunctional pump will fail to turn off when it’s supposed to. This will cause your electricity bill to skyrocket, and you’ll need a well repair company to come fix or replace your faulty pump.
• No Water at All: The last thing you want is for your well to run dry. There can be a slew of reasons why you’re not getting any water in your water fixtures, but without the necessary skills and equipment, it’s difficult to locate the source of the problem.
• Rapid Cycling: If your pump is starting and stopping frequently, you may have a waterlogged, or ruptured captive air pressure tank. This can cause damage to a pump, as well as to controls, and should be checked and/or repaired right away.

Whether you think you need a new well drilled or your current well pump replaced, a well repair technician will know the quickest and most efficient solution for the problem. To learn more about All’s Well Drilling and Service, call (907) 455-4082 or visit them online.
