Our well pump died on a Saturday evening and we had absolutely no water. I called Wind Bender expecting to leave a voicemail, but a real person answered and had a technician at our house within two hours. He diagnosed a burned-out submersible pump at 200 feet, pulled the old one, and had a new pump installed by Sunday afternoon. Incredible emergency response.
We had been dealing with gradually declining water pressure for months. Wind Bender’s technician performed a thorough evaluation and determined that our 18-year-old submersible pump was worn out and no longer producing its rated flow. The replacement pump they installed has given us stronger, more consistent pressure than we’ve had in years. Very knowledgeable crew.
Our well is over 300 feet deep and I was worried about finding a company with the right equipment to pull the pump. Wind Bender had everything they needed on the truck and handled the entire job in one day. The new pump runs quieter, our pressure is perfect, and the price was very reasonable for the depth involved. Highly recommend them for deep well work.
Your well pump operates out of sight at the bottom of your well, working every day to supply your household with fresh water. Because it’s hidden underground, problems often go unnoticed until the symptoms become impossible to ignore — and by that point, a minor issue may have escalated into a costly emergency.
Well pumps in the Dayton area typically last 10 to 15 years, but factors like water quality, depth, sediment levels, and electrical conditions can shorten that lifespan significantly. Recognizing the early warning signs of pump trouble allows you to schedule a repair or replacement on your terms rather than dealing with a total loss of water at the worst possible time.
If you notice any of the symptoms below, contact Wind Bender for a free well system evaluation. Our certified technicians will test pump performance, inspect your pressure tank, and check all electrical components to determine whether a repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
No Water from Well
A complete loss of water is the most urgent sign of well pump failure. While the cause could also be a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, or a depleted water table, a non-functioning pump is the most common culprit and requires immediate professional diagnosis.
Pump Running Constantly
A well pump that never shuts off may be struggling against a failed check valve, a waterlogged pressure tank, or an impeller that can no longer generate sufficient pressure. Continuous operation wastes electricity and will eventually overheat and destroy the pump motor.
Low Water Pressure
Gradually declining water pressure throughout your home often indicates that the pump is losing its ability to move water efficiently. Worn impellers, a partially collapsed drop pipe, or a pump that has shifted position in the well can all reduce output over time.
Dirty or Sandy Water
Sediment, sand, or grit in your water supply suggests that the pump has dropped to a depth where it is pulling in debris, or that the well screen has deteriorated. Running a pump with sediment in the water accelerates internal wear and can lead to premature failure.
High Electric Bills
An aging or failing well pump draws significantly more electricity than a properly functioning unit. If your electric bill has increased without an obvious explanation, the pump motor may be working harder than it should to maintain pressure, signaling that replacement is on the horizon.
Air in Water Lines
Sputtering or bursts of air when you open a faucet can indicate that the water level in your well has dropped below the pump intake, or that there is a crack in the drop pipe allowing air to enter the system. Both conditions require professional evaluation to prevent pump damage.
Pump Short Cycling
If your well pump turns on and off rapidly in short intervals, the issue may be a waterlogged pressure tank, a faulty pressure switch, or a check valve that is allowing water to drain back into the well. Short cycling places extreme stress on the pump motor and should be addressed immediately.
How long do well pumps last?
The average lifespan of a well pump is 10 to 15 years, although some high-quality submersible pumps can last up to 20 years in ideal conditions. The primary factors that affect longevity include water quality, well depth, sediment levels, and how frequently the pump cycles. Pumps in wells with high iron, sand, or acidic water tend to wear out faster due to accelerated corrosion and abrasion on the impellers and motor. Regular maintenance — including annual pressure tank inspections and electrical checks — helps maximize your pump’s service life and catch developing problems before they result in a total failure.
What is the difference between a submersible and a jet pump?
Submersible pumps are installed deep inside the well casing, fully submerged in water, and push water up to the surface using a series of stacked impellers. They are the most common and efficient choice for wells deeper than 25 feet, and they operate quietly because they are underground. Jet pumps are mounted above ground near the pressure tank and use suction to pull water from the well. Shallow-well jet pumps work for depths up to 25 feet, while deep-well jet pumps with a dual-pipe system can reach depths of up to 110 feet. For most Dayton-area wells, Wind Bender recommends submersible pumps because they are more efficient, last longer, and deliver higher flow rates at greater depths.
What causes well pump failure?
The most common causes of well pump failure are motor burnout, impeller wear, and electrical problems. Motor burnout often results from short cycling caused by a waterlogged pressure tank, a faulty pressure switch, or voltage irregularities. Impeller wear is accelerated by sediment, sand, and mineral deposits in the water that grind against the pump’s internal components over time. Electrical issues, including corroded wiring, a failing control box, or lightning damage, can cause sudden pump failure without warning. Less common but equally serious causes include a dropping water table that leaves the pump running dry and a collapsed or corroded drop pipe. Wind Bender’s comprehensive evaluation examines every component of your well system to identify the root cause and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.
