Is Your Well Pump Failing? Common Signs and What to Do

Your well pump is the heart of your private water system. When it starts to go bad, your entire household feels the impact—from reduced water pressure to no water at all.

At All Around Water Services, we help homeowners in Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, and surrounding areas troubleshoot and fix well pump problems before they turn into major emergencies.

Top Signs Your Well Pump May Be Failing

A failing pump rarely stops working out of nowhere. Watch for these early warning signs:

• Low or inconsistent water pressure

• Sputtering faucets or air bubbles in water lines

• Well pump runs constantly or cycles too frequently

• Dirty, cloudy, or sandy water

• No water flow at all

• Strange noises coming from the well or pump

• High electric bills due to pump overuse

Any one of these symptoms may indicate pump wear, electrical issues, or even a problem with your pressure tank or foot valve.

How Long Should a Well Pump Last?

Most residential well pumps last 8–15 years, depending on:

• Water usage

• Pump size and quality

• Local water conditions (sand, iron, hardness)

• How often it runs

Florida’s groundwater can be tough on equipment, especially in areas with high sediment or mineral-rich aquifers. That’s why regular checkups are essential.

What Causes a Well Pump to Fail?

• Age & wear: Old motors lose efficiency and eventually burn out.

• Sediment buildup: Sand and debris can clog or grind down pump parts.

• Electrical issues: Faulty wiring or pressure switches can affect performance.

• Dry well: Water table drops may leave your pump running without water—causing damage.

• Undersized system: A pump that’s too small for your home can overwork itself.

Our Well Pump Services Include:

• Diagnostic inspections and flow testing

• Pressure tank and switch evaluation

• Pump motor and electrical troubleshooting

• Deep well and shallow well system repairs

We help you determine whether you need a simple repair—or a full replacement.
