Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my tap water suddenly coming out cloudy or muddy?

Muddy, cloudy, or heavily silted water typically indicates a structural failure deep within the well. The most common causes are a cracked well casing, which allows surrounding dirt and surface water to seep into the wellbore, or a degraded well screen that is letting in fine sand from the aquifer. In some cases, a dropping water table can cause the pump to sit too close to the bottom of the well, where it sucks up accumulated sediment. A professional inspection using a down-hole camera can pinpoint exactly where the structural breach is located.

What should I do if my water well has a rotten egg smell?

A distinct rotten egg odor is usually caused by sulfur-reducing bacteria or dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas in the groundwater. While these bacteria are generally not harmful to your health, they create a foul slime that fouls plumbing and stains fixtures. Resolving this issue requires a professional deep-cleaning process known as shock chlorination. A technician introduces a concentrated chlorine solution into the well, circulates it throughout the entire home plumbing system, lets it sit to disinfect the biology, and then thoroughly flushes the system until the water runs completely clean.

How soon can you fix my water well?

A no-water situation is a true household emergency that needs to be addressed ASAP. That’s why we prioritize same-day emergency services for critical well and pump repairs, often arriving within hours to diagnose and resolve the issue. Whether you are dealing with a lightning strike, a frozen pump, or a sudden loss of pressure, our technicians are prepared to get to the bottom of the problem.

How Do I Know When My Well Needs to Be Repaired?

While your well system is largely hidden from view, it will almost always provide early warning signs before a total failure occurs. Recognizing these symptoms early can be the difference between a simple, cost-effective fix and a complex, emergency replacement. We encourage you to monitor your well’s performance; if you notice any unusual noises or changes in water quality, your system is likely telling you that something is wrong. 

Here are key signs you need to schedule a well repair:

  • Fluctuating water pressure 
  • Dirty or clouded water 
  • Unusual noises 
  • Sputtering faucets 
  • Constant pump cycling
  • Changes in taste or odor
  • Water puddles near the well
  • Unexpectedly high utility bills
