Signs Your Well Pump Is Not Well
Even if you are lucky and your well pump lasts 15 years, chances are you will need the occasional pump repair in order to keep things running as they should. Many of the signs that there is a problem show themselves in how the water runs in your home. If you start to notice issues with your water, contact your well service provider and schedule an inspection.
Changes in Water Pressure
Low water pressure is typically the most obvious sign that your well pump is not working as it should. However, you may also start to see fluctuations in the pressure. Other things can cause water pressure changes, so you may need to call out a professional to determine the cause.
Odd Noises From the Pump
You know how your well pump sounds when it is working normally. So if the well pump starts making unusual sounds, it may be a sign that something is not right. This often happens when a bearing or moving part is starting to wear out.
Pressure Tank Sounds
Inside your system’s tank is an air bladder. When something goes wrong with it, it can put too much strain on the motor of your well pump. So when you start to hear a new sound emanating from your pressure tank, especially fast clicking, call in a professional immediately if you want to prevent any damage to your well pump.
Water Spitting From Faucets
Another sign with the air bladder is water spitting or spurting from the faucet. This occurs when the air bladder adds air to the water.
Lack of Water
If the pump stops working, your water stops too. You will notice this if you turn on a faucet or flush a toilet and there is no water coming out.
