About submersible well pump repair
A submersible pump sits down in the well, below the water, and pushes water up the pipe. It is the common choice for deep wells, and with most local wells hundreds of feet deep, it is what most homes here have.[source]
Some submersible systems use a control box above ground, and some do not. If yours has one, tell the company. Problems in the box, the wiring or the pump motor can all look the same from the faucet.
Signs to watch for
- No water and a tripped breaker
- The pump runs but output is low
- Water spurts and sputters
- Sand or grit in the water
- The control box, if you have one, is buzzing or hot
- Water pressure drops during long use

Submersible well pump repair: common questions
How do I know if I have a submersible pump?
If nothing pump-shaped sits above ground near the well, the pump is down in the well. Most deep wells use submersibles.
Does the pump have to come up to repair it?
If the problem is the pump motor or something in the well, yes. Surface parts can be fixed without pulling it.
Why is there sand in my water?
It can point to pump wear or a problem with the well. Mention it on the call.
