What Are the Most Common Problems with Well Pumps in Ottawa?
A broken well pump brings many inconveniences and interrupts any family’s routine. Therefore, knowing pump problems and how to deal with them is essential. Here are some of the cases when Superior Plumbing & Heating experts come to fix a well pump in Ottawa most often:
- An underpowered well pump
Sometimes the pressure operates without breaks since its capacity does not correspond to the volume of water consumption by the household. In this case, our specialists replace a pressure tank with one that can handle your water demand to address this issue.
- Defective well pump pressure switch
Abnormal water pressure usually indicates the need to check the pressure switch. So, if this is the issue, the switch won’t start the well pump to supply water to your house. For this problem, our professionals usually check the pressure switch thoroughly and replace the item, so you don’t have to buy a new pump.
- Air pumping
This issue typically arises when faucets and pumps leak water or pass air. It usually happens due to pipe breakage, which makes it possible for air to enter the system. Our well pump service and repair experts in Ottawa can replace a damaged line the same day, so contact us when you see the system is moving too much air.
- Short cycling
Pumps that cycle intermittently indicate short cycling, which air bladder problems, pressure switch breakage, or water leaks might cause. However, short cycling can have several causes, challenging pinpointing the issue. Calling a professional is helpful in uncertainty like this. It’s preferable to contact someone who can quickly identify and expertly resolve the problem than to be unclear about the issue and the remedy.
- Water sediment
Hard water minerals, silt accumulation, and tiny stones can all impede the performance of your pump. In addition, all of these objects can corrode pump components and restrict water flow. This issue is easy to see because the pump starts producing cloudy water. The reason may be a worn well screen or an oversized pump. Our experts in well pump repair can recommend a well screen or pump replacement for an effective solution.
How Much Does It Cost to Fix a Well Pump in Ottawa?
Your well’s size and the type of pump you have will affect how much it will cost to replace it. For instance, a shallow well jet pump that can only pump one gallon per minute will be more expensive to fix or replace than a stainless-steel submersible well pump.
And finally, the price depends on the plumbing company you hire. We at Superior Plumbing & Heating offer the most client-friendly prices on the market, plus a 90-day warranty, which makes us one of the most sought-after plumbers in the region.
