Modern water wells are a far cry from the exposed versions of yesteryear, but that doesn’t mean they are immune to problems. In addition to being subject to issues like compromised water quality and an eroding shaft, wells can also dry up, making it hard for homeowners to use indoor faucets and appliances. Here are three signs you may need a new water well, and how well drilling contractors can help. 

Signs You Need a New Water Well

1. Low Water Pressure 

If you are having problems with low indoor water pressure, the problem could be caused by failing pump equipment or low water reserves in the area where your well is drilled. Either way, professional well drilling contractors can find and resolve the issue by inspecting your equipment and well for problems. Sometimes, wells can also develop a buildup of debris that clogs incoming water, which can be resolved with a deep cleaning. 

2. High Electrical Bill

The harder your well’s pump has to work to bring up fresh water, the more energy the system will use. Pay attention to spikes in your home’s energy costs, and have a well drilling contractor look for issues if you notice higher than normal bills. However, having a new well drilled gives you easy access to fresh water, and your electrical bills should return to normal. 

3. Cloudy Water 

Sediment buildup inside water wells can cause problems with water quality, affecting the taste, color, and even the safety of the water you are consuming inside your home. Contact a well drilling contractor if you notice any changes to your drinking water, including extra bubbles or dissolved sediment.
