Repair or Replace a Well Pump in Wilton CTWhen a well pump is the primary – or only – water source for your home, encountering problems can create chaos. Whether the pump stops working completely or delivers insufficient amounts of water, these type soft issues can interrupt your family’s daily routine. Most homes do not use well pumps as a common source of water delivery. Therefore, finding a well pump repair plumber might take considerable time.

Expert advice is necessary to find out whether you will need to either repair or replace the well pump. Knowing who to call before an emergency will help to prevent major interruptions. Literally, you will miss water when the well runs dry. Important considerations include the type of pump and cost for installation.

There are two basic types of well pumps: submersible and jet. A Submersible system is installed underwater. Jet pumps, however, are usually installed at or below the water line. Typically, the cost difference between both types is minor, although the cost of some submersible pumps can be higher. On the low scale, the average cost for a well pump is between $300 and $600. This does not include installation. Higher priced pumps can cost nearly $1,000 with no increase in installation charges.

However, there is a difference between first-time installation and repair costs. Hiring a professional  plumber is preferred so that the manufacturer will honor the warranty.

    This was a cool read. I didn’t know that there were two types of well pumps. I’ve only ever really seen Jet pumps. I was wondering if you could let me know if there are any signs that your well isn’t working properly, just so I can start repairs earlier and catch the issue early? Thanks!

    I am considering fixing up an old well on my property. Do these different kind of pumps last different amounts of time? Is one kind more reliable than the other? Thanks for clearing up some of these terms.
