Well pump installation and replacement on the Shore

Signs your well pump needs replacing

A pump that is faulty rather than finished is a repair, and that is well pump repair. These are the ones that are not.

• No water, with the switch and controls proven good
• A pump between 8 and 15 years old that has failed
• A motor that trips the breaker under load
• Sandy or muddy water from a worn pump
• A pump that has already been repaired once
• A lightning strike that took the motor with it

What a well pump replacement involves

Most of the cost is in getting to the pump, which is why what goes back down matters as much as the pump. Worth reading first: why two quotes can be $2,000 apart.

Depth decides the price, so we establish it first

Pulling a submersible means pulling every foot of drop pipe and wire with it. A pump at 120 feet is a straightforward morning. One at 400 feet needs more equipment and more time. Pulled and replaced runs $1,600 to $3,800, and we tell you where in that range you sit before we start.

Shallow well jet pumps

$900 to $2,000 where the well is shallow enough for one. Different equipment, a much smaller job, and we will tell you which kind of well you actually have.

Drop pipe, wire, and check valve

New drop pipe and wire is $400 to $1,200, and on an original thirty year old install it is the difference between doing this once and doing it again in three years. It goes on the estimate with a reason next to it, and you decide.

Constant pressure, if it suits the house

With several bathrooms or irrigation, a constant pressure system is a noticeable improvement and easier on the pump. It adds roughly $1,200 to $2,500 over a standard setup. It needs the right tank behind it: see pressure tank installation and replacement.
