Frequently Asked Questions
My well casing is too short. What should I do?
When your well system is worked on, the well casing must meet the current code requirement of a minimum of 12 inches above the final ground grade. If it does not meet this requirement, an extension will be required.
My well pump is cycling on and off. What could be causing this?
There could be a hole in one of the pump pipes that the pump is hanging from, requiring replacement. Other possible causes include:
- A bad pressure tank
- A hole in the waterline from the well to your home
- A leaky check valve
I have low water pressure. What could be the issue?
Low pressure could be caused by:
- The well pump nearing the end of its life cycle
- A hole in the pump pipe
- A hole in the waterline from the well to your home
- A bad pressure tank
In any of these cases, service is required.
My pump starts, then stops, and later turns back on. What could be wrong?
This could be due to debris plugging the stem under the pressure switch. To fix this, the pressure switch and stem must be replaced.
My pump is making a lot of noise. What could be causing this?
A noisy pump could indicate:
- A bad pressure tank
- A worn-out pump
In either case, replacement is required.
Occasionally, my pump makes a banging noise and shakes the pipes in my house. What does this mean?
This is often caused by a stuck check valve. The solution requires replacing the check valve to prevent further damage. Service is required.
I have no water, and my breaker keeps tripping when I reset it. What could be the issue?
Possible causes include:
- A bad control box
- A bad switch
- A bad wire from the well to the house
- A bad pump
In this case, a full system inspection is needed to identify and replace the faulty component. Service is required.
I have sand or debris in my water. What could be causing this?
This is likely due to a hole in the pump pipe, which is spraying water back into the well and stirring up debris. To fix this, the damaged pipe needs to be replaced. Service is required.
I have an old, unused well. Should it be abandoned?
Yes, it is required by law to be abandoned by a licensed well pump installer or well driller according to Wisconsin DNR regulations.
How much does it cost to abandon an old or unused well?
The cost depends on the well’s depth and diameter, which determine the materials and labor needed. A licensed professional will measure the well and file a report with the Wisconsin DNR
