Best well and pump technicians near Circle, MT

Ideally, you should conduct a mechanical inspection and a bacterial or well water inspection yearly. While you might be able to push it off to every other year, it’s best to have peace of mind, especially when it comes to something that you use so frequently. 

If you experience repeated gastrointestinal illness in the household, it's important to test the well water more regularly for quality and cleanliness to check for bacteria.

Well pumps need power to run, so they can’t function without electricity. If your power shuts off, there can sometimes be enough pressure in the water tank to allow for a lucky flush or a bit of tap water—but this won’t last long. It’s a good idea to have a backup generator or an alternative power source like solar if you’re worried about losing power.

A leaking well pipe is quite different from if the well itself is leaking. To seal a leaking well, pour a cement mixture or bentonite into the space between the well casing and the borehole wall. The heavier cement collects at the bottom to form a solid seal, pushing lighter materials like mud and fluids up toward the surface. Professional well installation companies have the equipment to do this properly. 

Here are some signs of a bad well pump that a pro should look at: 

• If your well pump isn’t pumping water, you could have a leak or malfunctioning pump on your hands. 

• If your water pump runs nonstop, there might be a leak or problem with the pressure tank, which can cause the pump to fail. 

• Low water pressure can happen because of your pressure tank, low-water levels, or a wrong-sized pump. 

• Dirt or sediment in your water can be a problem with a powerful pump, damaged pump filter, or the pump’s location.
