Common Well Pump Problems
Your well pump draws groundwater from your well and delivers it to your home’s plumbing system. If your pump is malfunctioning, it could be due to one of these common issues:
- Pressure switch issues: Worn electrical contacts or mineral buildup can prevent proper pressure regulation in your well and may require the pressure switch to be replaced.
- Pump motor failures: Your pump motor can fail due to overheating, electrical issues, or simple aging.
- Leaks: In Lancaster, freezing, corrosion, and soil movement can all cause cracks or leaks in pipes that cause low pressure issues.
- Check valve failure: Your pump may lose prime or short cycle if it has a faulty valve.
- Clogged pump: Wells with heavy amounts of sediment, iron bacteria, or sand can clog the pump and restrict water flow.
- Pressure tank issues: Well pumps that run constantly may struggle to maintain water pressure due to a ruptured tank bladder.

How to Prevent Future Well Pump Issues
Avoiding well pump issues is important to ensure that your daily routine isn’t interrupted. Luckily, homeowners can take simple steps to prevent future problems, including:
- Annual inspections: We recommend scheduling an inspection of your well system once a year to allow a professional technician to assess your pressure tank, electrical components, and well pump.
- Install a sediment filter: A sediment filter for your well can keep debris out of the pump that can lead to clogs and pump failures.
- Maintain proper pressure: Homeowners should frequently check that their well has the proper water pressure of 40-60 psi.
- Winterize: Protect your well against the Pennsylvania weather by winterizing any exposed components to avoid freezing or cracks.
- Schedule water testing: Routine water quality testing can identify if you have excess minerals or bacteria that can corrode the system.
