"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

Many contractors offer warranties for parts and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.

A professional well inspection takes between one and three hours. This includes the time it takes for the inspector to visually check the condition of your well, test its equipment, and collect water for testing. After the pro sends the water samples to the lab, you can expect to receive the results in three to 10 days.

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.

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.
