Question 5

How do I know if my well pump is failing?

Accepted Answer

Common warning signs include fluctuating water pressure, sputtering faucets, unusually high electric bills, air in the water lines, or the pump running continuously without shutting off. If you notice any of these, contact us for a diagnosis.

Question 6

What types of pumps do you repair?

Accepted Answer

We repair all types including submersible well pumps, jet pumps, irrigation pumps, booster pumps, hand pumps, and pitcher pumps. We work on all major brands regardless of age.

Question 7

How long does a well pump typically last?

Accepted Answer

A quality well pump typically lasts 8-15 years depending on usage, water conditions, and maintenance. Submersible pumps in ideal conditions can last even longer. Regular maintenance helps maximize pump lifespan.

Question 8

Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?

Accepted Answer

That smell is hydrogen sulfide (sulfur), which is common in Central Florida well water. A sulfur filter or oxidation system can completely eliminate the odor. We offer free water testing to confirm the issue and recommend the right solution.

Question 9

What causes orange or brown staining on fixtures?

Accepted Answer

Iron in your water causes orange, brown, or reddish stains on sinks, toilets, showers, and laundry. An iron filtration system removes dissolved iron before it reaches your fixtures, eliminating staining completely.

Question 10

Do I need a water softener if I'm on city water?

Accepted Answer

Many Central Florida city water supplies are still quite hard. A water softener protects your appliances, plumbing, and water heater from scale buildup, extends their lifespan, and gives you softer skin and hair.

Question 11

How often should water filtration filters be changed?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the system and your water quality. Sediment filters typically need changing every 3-6 months, carbon filters every 6-12 months, and RO membranes every 2-3 years. We offer maintenance plans to handle this for you.

Question 12

How long does it take to drill a new well?

Accepted Answer

Most residential wells are completed in 1-3 days, depending on depth and geology. The full process including permitting, drilling, pump installation, and testing typically takes 2-4 weeks from start to finish.

Question 13

Do I need a permit to drill a well in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Florida requires well construction permits. We handle the entire permitting process with your local water management district, so you don't need to worry about paperwork or regulations.

Question 14

Can I use a well for both drinking water and irrigation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but they're typically separate wells. Drinking water wells are drilled deeper into the Floridan Aquifer and require proper treatment. Irrigation wells can be shallower and are often more cost-effective as a dedicated system.
