Reliable water is essential to your health, hygiene, and your ability to perform routine daily tasks. But when critical components fail, emergency well services may be required to get your system up and running again. If your system is showing any of the following signs, don't wait to contact a professional. 

Well Pump Issues You Shouldn't Ignore

1. Air in the Pipes

If you turn on your faucet and the water spurts or sputters, you likely have air in your pipes. While the occasional burst of air caused by an air pocket or a low water table may be temporary, working itself out over time, frequent sputtering can indicate a more serious issue, including a broken pipe or offset line, or even pump failure. If you notice persistent sputtering in your faucets, reach out to a professional well service before it gets worse.

2. Loss of Water

While a complete loss of water can be concerning, it is often caused by a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If power is not the issue, flow loss may also be caused by a dry well, a faulty pressure switch, or a defective pump. A professional can help you troubleshoot the issue and identify the cause and extent of the damage, and any repairs you may need.

3. Dirty Water

If you find dirt in your drinking water, it may be the result of a damaged or degraded screen that can no longer prevent particles from being sucked into your well pump. In some cases, your pump may not be fitted correctly, or it may have shifted, allowing the pump to push dirt and sediment into the tank. Contaminated water can be dangerous. If your water appears unclean, contact emergency well services right away.
