"We lost function of our well pump right before a large snowfall and low temps. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient team helped me diagnose issue over the phone and came out to finalize the diagnosis and replace our well pump in 45 minutes within a day despite terrible road conditions (Level 2 and 3). I can't recommend more!"

"Robert Blanton and the crew from Eco Plumbers came out on a rainy wet day to check our new sump pump. We were concerned there was a clog or water leaking. They ran water into sump pump pit to test it and assessed our ground water runoff and drainage outside as well. Luckily there was no problem, and the call was complimentary. The crew was polite, punctual, and very friendly to us and our dog."

"I called at 4pm, and Rick said he had just finished a job and could come over to work on my system today if I wanted. Yes, our septic was completely backed up, so the sooner the better. Points there for being available right then. The quote I received was higher than I was expecting, but I was eager to get it taken care of, so asked him to come out for a tank pump, a backflow flush, and a leach field backflow check. What started as a simple pump out the septic tank turned into more. Things appeared to be working fine after pump, but then the water flow dropped to a trickle and started backing up in the shower. Rick jetted the line, but because it is an old house with 4 branches to the main sewer line, and the line causing the problem was branching at a sharp angle, causing a natural clog spot, the jetting wasn't cleaning it out. Rick went down into my basement, and from there into the crawl space under the house to get to the offending pipe. There is an access spot there, so he unhooked the pipe and manually poked all the clogging crud out. I then ran water down the bathroom drain to make sure it was completely flushed, which it was. While there, Rick pointed out a spot in the 50 year old plumbing where the pipe was rusting out, leaking a bit. He suggested we get that fixed sooner rather than later, because it would likely block again at that spot. He gave me a quote to replace several feet of sewer pipe. I know next to nothing about septic systems, and Rick was a wealth of information about what to watch for and how to take care of it. The bad news is that because Central Ohio is pretty much under water from the precip that won't stop, my leach field is flooded, and some ground water is coming back into the tank. If there are any issues with the leach field, we can not check it out until the weather dries out, if it ever does. As a result, we will probably need to have the tank pumped frequently to avoid problems in the future. This ended up being a 2 hour 15 min job, not a quick pump. Rick was thorough in testing out our aging septic system, making sure it was all clear, and chasing down the clog spot under the house. Then pointing out the bad pipe that will cause us problems in the future. That is "would cause". We intend to hire him to replace that aging sewer pipe. So while I probably could have gotten a simple pump cheaper, for all the extra work and thorough check, and immediate service, I felt the price was well worth it. You pay for quality. I certainly recommend this company."

Well Pump Contracting FAQs

Estimating what size well pump you need is challenging and often inaccurate, but a general rule of thumb is to take the number of fixtures—including water-consuming appliances—in your home and aim for that number in gallons per minute. That calculation method would allow for every fixture in your home to use about one gallon of water per minute. However, it’s best to leave the pump size determination to a professional technician, as they can ensure your pump is providing your home with sufficient water, especially during peak usage hours.

Some states and municipalities restrict well pump repair and replacement to licensed plumbers and technicians, while others don’t have requirements. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a certified plumber to repair or replace well pumps and water pumps. Certified professionals are far more likely to get the job done correctly and prevent future issues, which is especially important for ensuring access to clean water for your home.

It’s possible to fix a broken well pump yourself, but we don’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’s worth it to hire a professional water pump repair service.

The average cost to repair a well pump is $950, with most well pump repairs ranging between $100 and $2,900. A few factors influence your total repair cost, including the component of your well that needs repair or replacement, the extent of the damage, the accessibility of the pump, and the age and size of your well pump. It might be more cost-effective to replace your well pump if it’s old or has multiple broken components, as the average cost to replace a well pump is $1,800.

Most professional well and water pump technicians will take between two and four hours to replace an above-ground well pump, while a submersible well pump typically takes four to five hours to access and replace. You can also ask your well pump replacement technician how long they expect the process to take, as some jobs take just an hour or two. Keep in mind that you’ll be without access to water during the replacement process, so plan ahead by showering early and stocking up on bottled water for drinking and cooking.
