What it costs
We don't publish a price for pump repair yet. For reference, drilling a new residential well here generally runs roughly $6,000–$15,000, mostly depending on depth.
Signs your well pump needs attention
- No water at any tap.
- Pressure that drops or surges, or faucets that sputter air.
- The pump runs nonstop or switches on and off rapidly.
- A sudden jump in your electric bill with no other cause.
Who does the work
Well pump and pressure-tank work is usually done by a plumbing company that services wells or by a licensed well contractor. Drilling or deepening a well needs a construction permit from the regional water management district.
- Check a plumber's license on the Florida license lookup.
- Get the estimate in writing, and ask for proof of insurance.
