No water or weak pressure
No water or low pressure can involve the pump, pressure tank, switch, power, plumbing, water level, or another condition. The well-service partner tests the system and owns the equipment diagnosis before quoting a repair. Pipedex coordinates the handoff and any separately approved plumbing work.
The pressure tank and switch
Short cycling, low pressure, no water, or continuous operation can involve the pressure tank, switch, pump, controls, power, plumbing, water level, or another condition. A well-service partner tests the full system and owns the equipment diagnosis and recommendation; neither symptoms nor component price should be used to assume the cause.
Jet pumps vs submersible pumps
Well systems may use jet, submersible, booster, pressure-tank, control, and treatment equipment in different configurations. The well-service partner identifies the installed system, tests it, and owns any pump or pressure-equipment sizing and recommendation. Pipedex coordinates that partner and handles only separately approved plumbing work in its scope.
Repair or replace the pump
Breaker trips, failure to build pressure, air, or sediment require diagnosis and do not by themselves prove the pump needs replacement. The well-service partner compares test results, equipment condition, repairability, and system demand, then recommends and sizes any replacement. Pipedex does not represent partner equipment work as its own.
No water is an emergency on a well
On city water a problem is an inconvenience; on a well, a dead pump means no water at all — no showers, no toilets, no dishes. We treat a total loss of water as urgent and coordinate well-pump service through our well-service partners so we can explain the next available service window. If you're on a well and suddenly have nothing at the tap, call us.
Signs it’s time to call
- No water coming from the taps
- Low or weak water pressure throughout the house
- Pump runs constantly or won't shut off
- Pump rapidly cycles on and off (short-cycling)
- Sputtering taps or air and sand in the water
- Pump trips the breaker
