We talk a lot about well pumps on our blog. This makes sense, since they’re complex machines that we work on regularly. But to many of our customers, they seem like magic.
Well, this blog post is going to help dispel any myths or rumors you might have heard about these systems. We hope to explain how well pumps work, why they’re so useful, and even give you a few tips on how you can schedule proper well pump installation in Shelton.
Well pumps don’t seem like a purchase that a homeowner would consider very often. They’re similar to other plumbing systems, like water heaters, that are usually only thought about once in a while.
But when you do start contemplating whether you need a well pump installation in Olympia, that’s when you’re confronted with a lot of new information. How are you supposed to know where to start? Who is a prime candidate for a new well pump installation and who should weigh their options?
As your local team of well pump experts, we’d like to discuss some of the reasons a homeowner might consider getting a new well pump installed or upgrading their old one. After reading this, you can always call our team for additional questions, concerns, or if you’d like to get started with the process. We’re happy to help!
Many homeowners are blessed with having a lot of property. This land can be anything you want it to be, depending on the zoning and the landscape. For instance, many homeowners have decided to build guest houses, home additions, or even home offices on their property.
This kind of creative endeavor is entirely up to you, and we support whatever decision you make! However, you’ll want to ensure it has access to plenty of water, and that the water isn’t taking away from your home’s water supply.
You might need a new well pump installation in Shelton, or a new well might need to be dug entirely, depending on the situation. Our team can help walk you through your options and do a preliminary evaluation so that you don’t have to worry.
So, you’ve settled on the fact that you want to get a new well pump installed on your property. That’s great! In Olympia and the surrounding areas, wells are a fantastic way to get clean, potable water from right beneath your property.
However, this can only be achieved with the help of an electronic pump that can push that water against gravity and into your home. And, the process can get a bit more complicated if you don’t have a well drilled either.
Don’t worry, we keep things simple. Most of the work we can handle, but there are still a few things you’ll need to do before you call us and schedule an Olympia well pump installation. Or, you could call us and we can walk you through this process personally–we’re happy to help! Just make sure you do things by the book so we can reduce the amount of hiccups on your well pump journey.
Well work can be expensive, there’s no way around this. Especially if the well you think you should use had dried up years ago and we need to start from scratch. The good news is that there are plenty of professionals from our team willing to give you an accurate estimate.
The real important thing that you can do on your end is to look through your finances for the next year and budget accurately. We don’t want to charge anyone an amount of money that they’re not comfortable paying. So, the more you can prepare to spend money on an installation, the more smoothly this process will go.
Here’s an interesting tip–does your home have any property data locked away in a cabinet somewhere? Perhaps it’s a topographical map of your home’s area. Or maybe it’s even a map of the well that was drilled 50 years ago that might still be an option for well pump installation.
This data can be helpful. Sure, our team will do our own research no matter what, but it’s always helpful to know what’s on your property and what can be done to make things take less time.
Even if you can tell us the type of soil on your property, and where some of the boundary markers are, that can go a long way in making things take less time for everyone.
Our last tip is to talk with your family about your preferences. What do you want? Do you need a state of the art well pump that can give you more water than you’re used to having? Or do you just need water for your home at an affordable price? These preferences are important, and they’ll guide you toward a better solution for your home and family.

Well pumps aren’t exactly the most well-known devices in our society. If we were to ask you right now how a well pump worked, you’d probably have to look up some of the information online before giving us an answer.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Many of our customers have busy lives and are experts in their own prospective industry, so why should they know the details of a well pump? That’s what our team is for.
But in a lot of situations, the more information you know about your well pump (or your future well pump), the more likely you are to make sound financial decisions and to hire the right team. This blog post aims to inform our customers about well pump installation and ensure that they’ve got a good introduction to how these systems work.
