Well Pump Repair & Replacement in Union County, NC

When the taps sputter or go dry, the cause is usually the pump, the pressure tank, the pressure switch or the electrical supply, and only sometimes the well itself.

Common signs

• No water at all, or water that cuts in and out
• The pump short-cycles (clicks on and off rapidly)
• Low pressure, spitting faucets or air in lines
• A tripped breaker that keeps tripping
• Sediment or cloudy water appearing suddenly

Permits

According to the county fee schedule, a well repair permit / down-hole camera assessment is $100. A straight pump or tank swap generally does not need a permit (summary), but confirm with the contractor and the county.
