Don’t Wait for a Dry Tap: How to Prevent Well Pump Failure Before It Happens

If your home depends on a private well, then your well pump is the heart of your water system.
It keeps everything flowing—from your kitchen sink to your washing machine.

But like any machine, pumps wear down over time. And when they go, they tend to fail fast—leaving you without water, often at the worst possible moment.

At All Around Water Services, we help families in North Fort Myers and Cape Coral avoid costly pump emergencies by identifying problems early and providing reliable, professional maintenance and replacements.

Why Well Pumps Fail

Most well pumps fail because of neglected wear and tear—things you might never notice until your water stops completely.

Common causes of failure include:

• Worn-out pressure switches

• Electrical issues or damaged wiring

• Sediment clogging the intake

• Running dry due to low water levels

• Motor failure from overheating or short cycling

With regular inspection and timely service, most of these issues are 100% preventable.

Warning Signs to Watch For

You don’t have to wait for your faucet to go dry. Watch for these early warning signs:

• 🚿 Inconsistent or weak water pressure

• 📉 Pressure tank constantly refilling

• 💧 Air “spitting” from faucets

• 🧾 Unexplained rise in electric bills

• 🛠️ Pump turning on and off too frequently

• 🔊 Strange noises like humming, clicking, or grinding

Even if your water is still running, these symptoms mean something is wearing out—and fast.

What Preventive Maintenance Looks Like

At All Around Water Services, our Well Pump Maintenance Program includes:

1. Electrical & Pressure Switch Testing – Ensures consistent flow and safe pump function
