How does a well not run out of water?

• <div><p>A well does not run out of water because the groundwater continues to refill with rainwater that seeps through the ground. If the well is too shallow or there is a drought, a well can run dry or be short in supply. It’s important to have a well deep enough to source enough water for your home’s use. Deeper wells tap into more groundwater reserves. If your well is not producing enough water, you may need to redig your well.</p></div>

How do I know if my well is dry or if my pump is bad?

• <div><p>Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.</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 often do I need to test well water?

• <div><p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/testing.html">(CDC) recommends testing</a> your well at least once a year to check for bacteria and contaminants. If you live in an area prone to flooding, runoff, or any other environmental concerns, it can be a good idea to check two to three times per year.</p></div>

Q: How long does a well inspection take?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
