Well Pump Repair & Replacement in Houston

Many homes on the edges of the Houston area — in unincorporated Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend and Waller counties — still rely on private water wells. When the well pump fails, the whole house loses water. Call (844) 212 9767 to reach a local plumber for well pump repair or replacement.

Signs of a Well Pump Problem

• No water at all, or water that sputters and spits air
• Pressure that drops off during a shower
• The pump clicks on and off rapidly (short-cycling)
• The pump runs constantly and never shuts off
• A sudden jump in the electric bill
• Sand, sediment or cloudy water

It’s Not Always the Pump

Before replacing a pump, a plumber checks the pieces around it: the pressure switch, the pressure tank (a waterlogged tank is a common cause of short-cycling), the control box and capacitor, the breaker and the wiring. These are cheaper repairs and often solve the problem.

Well Pump Replacement

Most Houston-area wells use a submersible pump down in the well casing; shallow wells may use a jet pump above ground. Replacement means pulling the pump and drop pipe, matching the new pump to the well’s depth and flow, and checking the wiring and check valves on the way back down. It’s also a good time to replace an old pressure tank.

Well Pump FAQ

How long do well pumps last?

Submersible pumps commonly last 10–15 years; short-cycling and sediment shorten that.

Should I test my well water?

Yes — after any major repair and at least once a year for bacteria.
