How to Know If Your Well Pump Is Failing—and What to Do Next

Your well pump is the heart of your home’s water supply. When it fails, everything stops—your showers, laundry, dishes, and more. But before your water shuts off entirely, your well system often sends warning signs.

At All Around Water Services, we help North Fort Myers and Cape Coral homeowners catch problems early with professional inspections, repairs, and replacements tailored to Florida wells.

Common Signs Your Well Pump Is in Trouble

1. Low or No Water Pressure
   A sudden drop in water pressure can mean your pump is struggling to move water—or failing completely.

2. Air Sputtering from Faucets
   If air spits out when you turn on the tap, it could mean the pump isn’t maintaining a proper water level or pressure.

3. Constant Pump Cycling
   Your pump shouldn’t run nonstop. If it’s turning on and off frequently, there could be a pressure switch, tank, or electrical issue.

4. Discolored or Dirty Water
   Brown, sandy, or cloudy water may indicate a broken well screen or that the pump is pulling sediment.

5. High Electric Bills
   A struggling pump will run harder and longer, causing energy use to spike unexpectedly.

6. Complete Loss of Water
   No water at all often means total pump failure—or a power issue connected to your well system.

What Causes a Well Pump to Fail?

Florida well pumps face specific environmental challenges, including:

• Iron or mineral buildup in pipes

• Corrosion from acidic water

• High sand or sediment content

• Frequent electrical surges from storms

• Overworked pumps serving large households

Understanding your well system and local conditions is key to proper care.
