FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

My well stopped giving water. What do I do?

First, check whether the breaker for the well pump has tripped and reset it once. If it trips again or you still have no water, stop and call us. A dead well can be the pump, the pressure switch, the pressure tank, or the wiring, and running the system while something is failing can burn out the pump. We prioritize no-water calls and diagnose the whole system so we fix the real cause.

How do I know if it is the pump or the pressure tank?

They fail differently. A worn pump usually means weak or no water and a motor that struggles or will not start. A failed pressure tank usually means the pump rapidly cycles on and off, or faucets sputter and spit air. A lot of "bad pump" calls are actually a waterlogged pressure tank, which is why we test the whole system before replacing anything.

How long does a well pump last?

Most submersible well pumps run 8 to 15 years, depending on water quality, how hard the pump cycles, and whether it was sized correctly. A pump that short-cycles because of a bad pressure tank wears out much faster. When a pump is near the end, we tell you straight so you are not paying for a repair on a pump that is about to fail again.

Do you do emergency and same-day service?

We prioritize no-water calls because a failed well means no water to the whole house. We carry the common pumps, pressure switches, and tanks so most repairs get done in one trip. Call us and we will tell you honestly how fast we can get to you.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Bellingham and rural Whatcom County, including Lynden, Ferndale, Blaine, Birch Bay, Sudden Valley, Everson, and Deming. Rural properties on private wells are exactly who we work for. If you are nearby, reach out and we will confirm we can help.

Can you drill a new well?

Yes. New well drilling and well deepening are permitted, licensed jobs in Washington, and we handle the permitting, drilling, casing, and sealing to state water-well construction standards, then set up the pump and pressure system so you end up with a complete, working water source.

How much does a well pump repair or replacement cost?

It depends on what actually failed, your well depth, and whether it is a repair or a full pump replacement. We diagnose first, then quote the job up front with a free, no-obligation estimate, so you know the price before any work starts.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Yes. We are a registered Washington contractor, which means we are licensed, bonded, and carry liability insurance, all of which the state requires. Well drilling additionally requires a licensed Washington water-well driller. It protects you and your property on every job.
