Q: Can you fix a well pump yourself?

<div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to fix a broken well pump yourself, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Well pumps are hard to reach and service without the proper equipment, and even if you can reach the pump, it involves working in close proximity to water and electricity, which can be extremely dangerous. Any mistakes made during the repair process could contaminate your water supply or put you and your home at risk. Additionally, some states require that a licensed plumber carry out well pump repair. It&rsquo;s worth it to hire a professional water pump repair service.</p></div>

Q: How much does a well pump or water pump repair cost?

It might be more cost-effective to replace your well pump if it&rsquo;s old or has multiple broken components, as the average cost to replace a well pump is <b>$1,800.</b></p></div>
