With a little preventative maintenance, most home water systems last for many years. However, if you don’t take care of the system, you will need a well pump service provider to repair it. Whether you want to avoid low water pressure or a sudden increase in your utility bill, here’s how hiring a specialist for an annual inspection will help you avoid untimely, costly fixes. 

Guide to Well Pump Service Inspections

Common Pump Issues 

During a yearly inspection, your well pump service technician will both diagnose and repair the most common complications. These include the presence of a faulty water storage tank, broken electrical components, and insufficient water flow. Some homeowners have defective underground piping between their house and the well, which can also cause pumps to work improperly. 

Benefits of Regular Inspections

Thorough well inspections allow for quick fixes before they become overly complicated. For example, cracked or malfunctioning elements can cause short cycling or overheated motors but are easily detectable well before they break. By having a professional inspect your home water system, you can save rather than replace the structure. If some parts do need to be replaced, it is still more affordable to switch them out than replace the whole well pump. 

During an inspection, the technician may discover sediment clogging your water filter or sensor. By cleaning the machine early on, you will avoid a complete loss of your water supply. If underground piping is a problem, on the other hand, your water well service team can schedule a PVC restoration to keep the well from malfunctioning entirely. Without preventative maintenance, you could lose the ability to flush the toilet, take a shower, or cook meals until you purchase and reinstate a new system. Well replacement is not only inconvenient but also costly.
