Well Pump Repair Near Greater Philadelphia, PA

You should call in a professional to look at your well system at least once a year and/or anytime you notice abnormal higher electricity bills, air spurts in the water, loss of water pressure, your system making strange noises like clicking sounds, and/or change in odor or appearance of the water.

Yes, there are several solutions for low water pressure. You may simply just need your well pump adjusted or it may be something a bit more serious such as a leak in a pipe, either in the well itself or under the ground between the well and the house, an older weak pump that needs to be replaced, and/or minerals clogging up the system and subsequently restricting water flow. If your low water pressure is bothering you, call Sila to have a plumbing expert solve this problem for you.

Generally, a well pump should last around 12-15 years for the motor and pump. Most well pumps built after the early 1990’s have been constructed to save energy and reduce costs. Subsequently, this has largely reduced the average lifespan of a well pump.

If you are out of water there are a few things you can do. Always make sure your power is on because your well needs power to operate. If your power is on and not the issue, next try resetting your breaker as it’s possible it could have been tripped. If both of these methods fail to restore your water back on, you will need to have a plumbing expert at Sila come out to resolve the issue with your well pump.

If you notice your water has an eggy, sulfur smell, you most likely have bacteria building up in your well. You may want to have a certified plumbing expert at Sila disinfect your well and flush out the system to eliminate the eggy, sulfur odor. While these smells can be quite unpleasant, they typically are not harmful.

If your pump seems to be running more than normal, or if you notice your well pump excessively turning on and off, you should have a plumbing technician at Sila take a look at your well pump right away as a more serious underlying issue could exist.
