No Water? What to Do When Your Well Pump Suddenly Stops Working

There’s nothing more frustrating than waking up to no running water. If your home depends on a private well, the issue likely starts at the pump—but what exactly went wrong?

At All Around Water Services, we help Florida homeowners in Cape Coral and North Fort Myers diagnose and fix sudden well pump failures fast—so your family isn’t left without water longer than necessary.


Common Reasons a Well Pump Stops Working

While every system is different, most sudden water loss problems trace back to one of these causes:

  • Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse

  • Failed pressure switch or faulty tank control

  • Dry well or drop in water table

  • Pump burnout from running too long

  • Clogged filters or intake screen

  • Broken pipe or underground leak

Some fixes are simple. Others require immediate repair or replacement—but all require quick action.


What You Can Check First

Before calling for help, take a few basic steps:

  1. Check your breaker box to see if the well pump circuit has tripped

  2. Inspect your pressure tank gauge (normal range is typically 40–60 PSI)

  3. Listen for pump activity—is it running constantly or completely silent?

  4. Check outdoor spigots to confirm total loss or partial pressure

  5. Look for standing water or wet soil near your well casing

Still no water? That’s when we step in with professional troubleshooting.

Why Florida Well Pumps Fail

Florida’s environmental factors put pressure on well systems year-round:

  • High usage during summer months

  • Sandy soil clogging filters or pipes

  • Power surges from storms or lightning

  • Shifting groundwater levels in dry seasons

  • Untreated hard water damaging components

We build and maintain systems built to withstand these local challenges.
