Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I know if my well pump needs repair?
Answer: Common warning signs include low water pressure, changing water pressure, spitting faucets, rotten egg smells in the water, clicking sounds near the pressure tank, or a sudden increase in electric bills. American Pump and Drilling recommends calling for diagnosis as soon as something seems wrong.

Question: Can low water pressure mean my well pump is failing?
Answer: Yes, low or fluctuating water pressure can be a sign of a well pump problem, but it may also involve the pressure tank or another part of the system. A technician can inspect the pump, tank, and controls to find the actual source before recommending a repair.

Question: Why are my faucets spitting air when I use well water?
Answer: Spitting faucets often mean air is getting into the water system or the pressure is not holding properly. This can point to a pump issue, pressure tank problem, or related well system concern. A professional diagnosis helps prevent guessing and gets the correct part repaired.

Question: Does American Pump and Drilling repair pressure tanks too?
Answer: Yes, some well pump problems may actually come from the pressure tank, which stores water for immediate use inside the home. American Pump and Drilling checks the system to determine whether the repair is needed at the pump, pressure tank, or another connected component.

Question: How long can a well pump last with maintenance?
Answer: American Pump and Drilling notes that well pumps can last up to 15 years when they receive the right professional maintenance. Regular service helps the pump work efficiently, reduces unnecessary repair issues, and can support a longer service life for rural homes that rely on well water.
