Q: What do I do if my well pump gets stuck?

• <div><p>If your well pump gets stuck in its casing, you may be able to free it loose by gently wiggling the line or by vibrations from tapping the line with a hammer. However, if your pump is stuck in a buildup of minerals around the casing, you&rsquo;ll probably have to call in a well pump contractor to get it out. They&rsquo;ll likely use a muriatic acid solution&mdash;a strong, corrosive acid&mdash;to break down the minerals and free the pump loose. </p><p>To avoid a stuck pump in the future, experts recommend a professional well cleaning once every 10 years. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to attempt fixing a well pump on my own?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety and technical requirements. Hire professionals for accurate diagnosis and repair.</p></div>

Q: How long can a deep well pump last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan of a deep well pump is between <b>15 and 25 years</b>, after which you&rsquo;ll have to replace it. Several factors can affect the lifespan of a well pump, such as the quality of the unit. Proper maintenance and repair can also help extend your well pump&rsquo;s lifespan as well as keep adequate water flow and pressure throughout your home.</p></div>

Q: Does a pressure booster require regular maintenance?

• <div><p>A water pressure booster doesn't require special maintenance. Like any house system, inspections should be a regular part of your annual schedule. Check for leaks, faulty valves, pressure loss, and mineral build-up. Pressure loss could be a result of mineral build-up, and you can descale the system with a vinegar and water solution.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my well pump?

• <div><p>If the well pump is more than 10 years old, it's worth contacting a well pump repair pro near you and weighing the cost of repairs against buying a new well pump. Pumps can last a long time with regular maintenance, but if your pump is nearing the 10-year mark and starts needing repairs frequently, it&rsquo;s time to replace it.</p></div>

Very well. Did not need a new roof. Did small maintenance things for a nominal amount. That was several years ago so don't remember.
