If you’re on a well, your pump is the heart of your water system. When it fails, everything stops—showers, laundry, dishes, even your drinking water. At Lowery’s Plumbing, we understand how critical a working well pump is, and we’re ready to handle any issue fast and right the first time.
We service both submersible well pumps and jet pumps, depending on your system’s depth and design. Submersible pumps are the most common here in Florida. They’re installed down in the well and built to last, but when they go out, it takes skill and the right tools to pull them up and diagnose the issue. Jet pumps, usually installed above ground, are often found in older or shallow-well systems and require a different repair approach. We’re equipped for both.
The first step when a pump stops working is to figure out if it’s the pump or something else. We check the power supply, the pressure switch, and the tank before assuming it’s a pump failure. If the pump itself is the issue, we’ll remove it and inspect for motor damage, clogged impellers, or broken seals. In many cases, we can offer a fast repair. But if the motor is burnt out or the pump is no longer efficient, we’ll walk you through replacement options that fit your well and your budget.
If you notice low water pressure, air sputtering from faucets, or your pump turning on and off too frequently, these could be early signs of pump trouble. Another common issue is dirty or sandy water, which may mean your pump is sitting too low or that the well casing has a breach. Don’t ignore the early signs. Fixing a small issue now can save you from a full system failure later.
Our Florida environment presents unique challenges. High water tables, iron-rich soil, and power fluctuations can shorten a pump’s life. We often see corrosion, mineral buildup, or pump strain from sand infiltration. Having a properly sized pump and filtration system in place can go a long way toward preventing these failures. We design each setup with these factors in mind, so your system lasts longer and performs better.
To protect your investment, we recommend having your system checked annually. We’ll test the pressure, inspect the wiring, and make sure your pressure tank is still in good condition. We also verify that your check valves and pressure switches are operating correctly. Preventative maintenance is what keeps you from needing emergency service in the middle of the night. Or worse, going days without water.
At Lowery’s Plumbing, we bring deep experience, attention to detail, and a commitment to fast turnaround on every well pump service. If your water has slowed to a trickle or your pump is acting up, we’re just a phone call away.
