Well Service in Athens, GA: How to Tell If You Need a New Well Pump


Living off well and septic systems is a great option for homeowners in rural areas who don't have access to municipal water and sewer lines; however, these systems come with their own issues. Diagnosing the problem and seeking help from an experienced plumber in Athens, GA as soon as possible decreases the risk of costly plumbing bills. The most common indications of problems with well pumps and water tanks include decreased water pressure, loud or unusual noises, dirty water, air “spitting” from the faucet, and abnormally high electric bills, which may mean that the pump is running constantly to keep the water pressure at a normal level. Other scenarios that put a strain on the well pump, increasing the risk of pump failure, include a power outage and the expansion tank losing pressure.
