Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my well pump is failing?
The most common signs of a failing well pump: sudden loss of water pressure throughout the home, pump motor running continuously without building pressure, air spitting from faucets, cloudy or sandy water, unusually high electric bills (pump running constantly), or complete loss of water. Any of these signs warrants an immediate inspection.
How long do well pumps last in Florida?
Submersible well pumps typically last 8–15 years in Florida. Pumps that work harder due to high iron content in the water or oversized pressure demands tend to fail sooner. Jacksonville's sandy aquifer can also cause premature wear if the well screen fails and allows sand infiltration. We recommend replacing pumps proactively after 12 years rather than waiting for failure.
What causes low water pressure from a well in Jacksonville?
The most common causes: 1) A waterlogged pressure tank — the air bladder inside has failed, causing the pump to short-cycle. 2) A partially failing pump — delivering water but not building full pressure. 3) A clogged well screen that's restricting flow. 4) A pressure switch set too low. We diagnose the specific cause before recommending any repair.
What is a pressure tank and do I need to replace it with my pump?
A pressure tank stores pressurized water to reduce pump cycle frequency and protect the pump motor. If your pressure tank is more than 10 years old or showing signs of waterlogging (rapid pressure cycling, short pump runs), we typically recommend replacing it at the same time as the pump — since the work is already underway and the components age together.
