"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

You should have your well inspected once per year. You should also have a well inspection done when you’re buying a house with a private well, when the well cap is opened, when the septic tank is repaired, or when there is flooding.

During your annual visit, a pro will make sure that everything is working correctly and check for certain contaminants, including total coliform. Every other year, they’ll look for things like metals and nitrates, and every five years, they’ll test for pesticides.

Yes, professionals can replace worn-out motors to restore efficient airflow.

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.

How do you set your well’s pressure tank? All you need to do is first drain the tank of water and find the pressure switch. Remove the switch cover and adjust the switch with a wrench—clockwise to increase water pressure, and counter-clockwise to reduce it. Each complete turn of the nut on the switch should equal 2.5 psi. Once this is done, replace the switch cover. All that’s left is to adjust the pressure of the tank itself using an air compressor and a tire gauge to support the new setting.

There are other ways to increase well water pressure. You can often increase the pressure by adjusting the valve on your pressure tank. The pressure issue may be the result of build-up along the pipes or a clog in the system, so descaling and unclogging your system can help improve the overall pressure.
