There are a few warning signs that can indicate your well pump is in decline. If you notice changes in your water pressure, a jump in your utility bill, taps that spit water, or unusual sounds coming from your well system, it’s a good idea to call in a well pump professional to give your system a check-up.

The average life span of a well is about 30 to 50 years. Several factors can affect a well’s lifespan, such as its size, construction quality, water demand, and regular maintenance. Environmental factors, including droughts and earthquakes, can also have an influence. Drilling deeper, getting professional maintenance, and regulating your water usage can help extend your well’s lifespan.

However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.
