What’s going on with your well?

Pick whichever is closest and we’ll take you straight to the part of the system that usually causes it. Planning a new well rather than fixing one? That’s at the bottom.

No water at all

Nothing at any tap in the house.

Pressure keeps dropping

Strong in the morning, weak by evening.

Pump won’t shut off

Running constantly, or cycling every few seconds.

Air spitting from the taps

Sputtering, then a burst of water.

No well yet, or need a new one

Not a repair. A new residential, ranch or irrigation well on your property.

How it works

How a water well system actually works

Most well problems come down to four parts. Knowing which one is behaving strangely tells you a great deal before anybody comes out, and makes the phone call much shorter.

Submersible pump

Sits near the bottom of the well and pushes water up the drop pipe. The most common failure point in the whole system.

Drop pipe & casing

Carry water up and keep the borehole open. A leak here often shows up as air spitting from your taps.

Pressure tank

Holds a buffer of pressurised water so the pump isn’t starting every time somebody runs a tap.

Pressure switch

Tells the pump when to start and stop. An inexpensive part that produces expensive-looking symptoms.

Not sure which part is failing?

Common questions

Questions people ask before they call

Drilling is usually quoted by the foot, so depth is the single biggest factor in the total. After that, cost is driven by casing, the pump and motor selected, the pressure system, the electrical work, and how easily equipment can reach the site. A quote without a site visit is a guess.

More on water well drilling

It depends more on working conditions than on age alone. How much water the household draws, how often the pump starts and stops, water quality, whether the pump was correctly sized for the well, and the stability of the electrical supply all change the answer. A pump that short-cycles wears out much faster than one that runs in longer, steadier cycles.

The deciding factor is usually labour rather than parts. Most of the cost of working on a submersible pump is pulling it out of the well, so once it is already out, replacing a pump that is near the end of its life often costs less over time than putting the old one back. A provider can tell you which situation you are in once they have seen the pump.

More on well pump replacement

We cover Midland County and Ector County, including Midland, Odessa and the surrounding Permian Basin communities. If your property falls outside that area, tell us where you are and we will say so plainly rather than waste your time.

Midland · Odessa

Depth varies a great deal from property to property, even between neighbours. A driller working your area sizes a new well from the records of nearby wells and the formation being targeted, which is why a site-specific answer is worth far more than a regional average.
