  Why You Might Need a Replacement Well Pump

  If you think about all the work your well pump has to do each day to bring you freshwater, it’s no wonder they don’t last forever. Like all mechanical equipment, wear and tear cause components to begin to break down. This is especially true of well pumps which are constantly submerged in water and exposed to all types of conditions underground. While obvious signs like no water to the home are an indicator of a problem, smaller issues like inconsistent water pressure that wasn’t there before, or “rusty” discolored water, could all be signs of a pump beginning to fail.

  Well Pump Maintenance in New Hampshire

  As the owner of a private well, you are responsible for its operation and the health of your water. Well pumps should receive an annual inspection by a licensed well technician to ensure proper operation, and to inspect the general health of your well, such as checking the water levels and ensuring adequate water flow to your home. Your water should also be checked for the presence of harmful bacteria and treated accordingly.

• What are the signs that my well pump needs repair or replacement?

  Common signs include low water pressure, sputtering faucets, air in the water lines, frequent cycling of the pump, unusually high electric bills, and discolored or sandy water. If your well pump runs continuously without building pressure or fails to turn on at all, contact Heritage for a professional diagnosis.

• How long does a well pump typically last in New Hampshire?

  Most well pumps last between 8 and 15 years depending on the type of pump, water quality, usage patterns, and how well the system has been maintained. Submersible pumps tend to last longer than jet pumps. Heritage can inspect your current system and advise whether repair or replacement is the better option.

• What types of well pumps does Heritage install?

  Heritage installs and services both submersible well pumps and jet pumps for New Hampshire homes. Our licensed plumbers will assess your well depth, water table level, and household demand to recommend the right pump type and size for your property.

• Does Heritage offer emergency well pump service in New Hampshire?

  Yes. A failed well pump means no running water in your home, so Heritage treats well pump failures as urgent service calls. Contact us as soon as you notice a loss of water pressure or a complete loss of water supply and we will work to restore your system as quickly as possible.

• How can I extend the life of my well pump?

  Regular maintenance is the best way to extend the life of your well pump. This includes periodic pressure tank inspections, checking the pressure switch, testing water quality, and ensuring the electrical connections are secure. Heritage offers maintenance services to help keep your well system running reliably year after year.
