If your home uses a well system, it's essential that there's enough water in it for your home's needs. Unfortunately, while the system can pump and deliver water for decades, a drought can sometimes decrease the amount inside the well. Well deepening can solve most problems related to a shallow tank, including the following.

How to Tell When You Need Well Deepening

1. Taste Change

Sediment always collects at the bottom of wells, but when the water falls below average levels, that debris can mix in your supply and appear through your taps. You may notice the color change from clear to brown before an earthy taste appears in your tap water.

2. Sputtering Faucets

Air pockets in the plumbing system will cause the faucets to sputter throughout your home. While a pipe leak could be letting the air in, have a technician check your water well for any problems. If your water levels aren't high enough, your pumps may struggle to get a consistent flow, leading to air mixing in.

3. Long-Running Pump

A long-running pump combined with a pressure problem indicates the pressure tank can't find enough water to push into the pipe. The pump is meant to grab water underneath the ground and bring it into your home, but a long-running pump that switches on and off more frequently is working harder to build that pressure.
