Is Your Well Pump Failing? Warning Signs Florida Homeowners Shouldn’t Ignore

For homes that rely on a private well, the well pump is a critical piece of equipment. When it starts to wear out or malfunction, it doesn’t always stop working overnight—but it often gives warning signs that trouble is coming.

At All Around Water Services, we help Cape Coral and North Fort Myers homeowners catch pump issues early, before you’re stuck without water at the worst possible time.


Early Signs of Well Pump Trouble

Recognizing the signs of a failing well pump can save you time, stress, and money. Here’s what to watch for:

  • A noticeable drop in water pressure

  • Water that sputters or has air bubbles

  • Intermittent water flow or complete outages

  • Unusual noises near the tank or pump

  • Cloudy, muddy, or rusty water

  • Higher electric bills from a constantly running pump

  • Pressure switch clicking repeatedly

These problems may stem from pump wear, clogged components, electrical issues, or even a water level change. Prompt diagnosis is key to avoiding full failure.


What Causes Pumps to Fail in Florida

Florida well systems face specific challenges due to weather, soil, and usage:

  • High mineral content and sediment buildup

  • Corrosion from humid conditions

  • Sand or silt entering the system

  • Power surges from frequent storms

  • Long run cycles from irrigation or multi-bathroom homes

Even newer systems can experience issues if components are poorly matched or not maintained.


Our Well Pump Inspection & Repair Process

When you call All Around Water Services, we begin with a full system check:

  • Evaluate pressure tank and switch function

  • Inspect electrical connections and controls

  • Measure water pressure and flow rate

  • Check for signs of leaks, air intrusion, or sediment

Once we find the cause, we explain the options clearly—whether it’s a simple repair or time for a new pump.
