Your water well is not going to schedule an emergency with you, which is why King Water Wells offers emergency services to our customers. There may come a point when your water well needs to be fixed or replaced immediately to avoid other problems. We’ve got you covered. You can call us if you are having any of the problems listed below with your water well system.
Excess Air in the System
Your water well will respond negatively to excess air in the system. The added air will affect the water well pump’s performance, the water well itself, and the quality of water in the well. You may have excess air in your water well because the well tank or water well is cracked. Cracks in your plumbing pipes or a broken offset line can also add extra air into your water well system.
Reduced Household Water Pressure
If you have noticed a reduction in the water pressure flowing into your home, there may be a problem with the water well pump. Other things that can reduce the pressure include clogs in the filtration system and fixture screens or a broken pipe in your household plumbing system.
An Increase in Water Pressure
A faulty water well pump can also increase the water pressure to the point of an explosion out of the taps. You may also have a water pump that is the wrong size for your water tank. Another thing that can make the water flow heavily out of the taps is pressure tank failure or a faulty pressure switch.
Short-Cycling Water Pump
Your water pump can start to run more often than it should – short-cycle – if the pressure switch is faulty. This will make the well pump turn on and off constantly. If you do not have a balance of water in the water well or the water tank, this, too, can make the well pump short-cycle.
No Water Coming Out of the Faucets
A lack of water coming out of the faucets can be attributed to a dead water well pump. The well pump draws the water out of the well and pushes it into your home’s plumbing system. If it is malfunctioning and dying, this will affect the water flow into your home and out of your yard’s hoses.
Unpleasant Smelling Water
Finally, if the water flowing into the home smells bad, you’ve got a problem that needs immediate attention. Unpleasant smelling water is a sign that bacteria are in the water. These bacteria can harm your family, as can sulfur, which will make the water smell like rotten eggs.
