Private Well Service in the Durham Area
A Durham address does not always tell you how the property gets its water. While the city has a large public water system, private drinking and irrigation wells are still permitted and regulated throughout Durham County.
Durham County Environmental Health handles private well permits, construction inspections, water testing, repairs, and abandonment. That means the setup can look very different from one property to the next depending on where it sits and whether public water is available.
For Durham-area properties that depend on a private well, A&T Well and Pump can help with pump failures, pressure problems, water quality concerns, and other parts of the well system.
Well & Pump Services in Durham, NC
When something changes with a private well, the pump is only one possible cause. Pressure tanks, switches, controls, piping, electrical components, filtration equipment, and the condition of the well itself can all affect how water reaches your property.
At A&T Well and Pump, we provide the following services throughout the Durham area:

Well Pump Repair
No water, low pressure, sediment, or a pump that keeps running can point to a problem with the pump or another part of the well system.

Well Pump Replacement
If an aging or failed well pump can no longer be repaired, we can replace it with a pump that fits your existing system and water needs.

Well Service & Repair
Problems with water flow, pressure, equipment, or the well itself can require a closer look at the complete system.

Well Abandonment
Unused or damaged wells need to be properly closed. A&T Well and Pump provides temporary and permanent well abandonment services.

Trenching
We provide trenching for well lines, new construction, remodeling projects, and other water-line needs.

Well Sanitizing
If bacteria or outside contaminants enter the well system, sanitizing can be used to treat the well.

Water Filtration
Water filtration can address sediment, staining, unwanted taste or odor, and other water quality concerns based on what is found in your water.

Well Video Inspections
A downhole camera gives our team a view inside the well and can help identify casing damage, obstructions, lost equipment, and other problems that cannot be seen from the surface.
Changes in Your Water Can Point to a Well Problem
A dry faucet is easy to notice. Other well problems can start with smaller changes in pressure, sound, water quality, or the way the pump operates.
You may notice:
- No water from faucets
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
- A pump that runs continuously
- Frequent pump cycling
- Sputtering faucets
- Sand or sediment in the water
- Cloudy or discolored water
- Changes in taste or odor
- Unusual noises from the pump or pressure tank
The pump itself may not be the source. Pressure tanks, controls, piping, electrical components, filtration equipment, and conditions inside the well can also affect performance.
If something has changed, our team can inspect the system and help determine what needs attention.

Why did my well water pressure suddenly drop?
Low water pressure can involve the pump, pressure tank, pressure switch, piping, electrical components, or another part of the well system.
Our team can check the full system to help narrow down what changed before recommending repair or replacement.
Can an older well pump be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. It depends on what has failed, the age and condition of the pump, and how the rest of the well system is performing.
At A&T Well and Pump, we diagnose the problem first and determine whether repairing the existing equipment or replacing it makes more sense.
