Well Pump Services in Charlottesville, VA

Serving Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Nelson, Augusta, Madison, Greene & Orange Counties

If your home relies on well water, you need to do everything you can to keep your well and well pump in good condition. A deteriorating well pump could cause issues with your water pressure and make it difficult for you to get water out of your well and into your home.

Albemarle Heating & Air offers comprehensive plumbing services, including well pump services, in Charlottesville, VA. We can repair or replace your well pump quickly and keep the water flowing in your home.

How Does a Well Pump Work?

The well pressure switch is activated when the water pressure in the well pressure tank is too low and turns on the pump.

Depending on whether you have a submersible or jet well pump, it will either push water up a pipe or use suction to pull water from underground to deliver it to your home. The unit pumps the water into the tank, where it sits until you turn on a faucet.

Signs Your Well Pump Needs Repair

It’s not always easy to tell that your well pump is the problem. Here are some common signs you can look out for:

  • Water pressure issues: If you no longer have consistent water pressure, you could have an issue with your well pump.
  • Sputtering plumbing fixtures: If you turn on your faucet and it starts sputtering out water, there could be an issue with your well pump’s pressure tank.
  • Sediment-filled water: If you turn on your faucet and see sediment or murky water, you could have a damaged well screen that can’t prevent particles from entering your well pump.

What To Expect for Well Pump Installation

If we’ve determined you need a new well pump, we’ll walk you through the process so you know what to expect. Our plumbers will:

  • Assess the depth and horsepower requirements for a new pump
  • Help you select a system best suited for your home
  • Remove your old well pump
  • Install the new well pump according to the manufacturer’s specifications
  • Test the new pump to ensure proper operation

Well Pump Repair vs. Replacement

You may not need to replace your well pump — sometimes, a simple repair is all it takes. A repair is sufficient if your well pump is less than 10 years old and doesn’t require significant service. A simple valve replacement or a wiring issue is easy to repair.

If the system is eight to 15 years old or needs a repair that costs over 50% of the unit’s value, you’ll likely need a new well pump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying a home with well water can be a great investment, as it can eliminate your water bill, but only if the well is properly maintained and tested. Virginia’s Private Well Regulations provide guidance for water testing, which will be important to follow if you want to avoid getting sick from your water.

Consider installing a pressure booster pump if you have a well and want better water pressure. This type of pump pressurizes your water before sending it to your home.

Yes, a well pressure tank is needed so your well pump isn’t forced to cycle whenever your home needs water. Doing so can drastically reduce the service life of your pump.

Common pressure tank types include air-over-water tanks, diaphragm tanks, and bladder tanks.

The homeowner is responsible for well maintenance and repair. Only wells that serve over 25 people are subject to regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
