Your well pumping system keeps the water flowing from your well and into your home with the optimal water pressure. It’s challenging to detect a leak in your well system because the early signs can be subtle. Here is information about how a leak might occur and what signs to look out for so you can avoid substantial damage.  

A Guide Through A Leak In Your Water System

How Do Leaks Occur?

A leak can occur for a variety of reasons. Corrosion and rust can weaken the integrity of your piping. This could result in holes in your well drop pipe or distribution system. There are other external factors that could result in leaks. For example, an aging well system, a bad pipe connection, a broken pitless adaptor, or a natural phenomenon like an earthquake or frost. All of these factors warrant well pumping inspections.    

Signs That Your Water System Has a Leak

Evidence of a water leak can be found in the quality of the water in your home. Low water pressure means that you should hire a professional to look at your well system because, even if there isn’t a leak, low pressure can be a sign of other issues such as a bad pump, plugged pipes or filters. 

Dirty water also warrants a visit from your well pump technician. If your system has a leak, groundwater with contaminants can be drawn into the piping and into your home.
