Signs It’s Time for a Well Pump Replacement
Identifying the early warning signs of a failing well system helps you avoid a full outage, unnecessary damage, or higher repair costs.
Here are the red flags that indicate your property is in need of a professional well pump replacement:
- Reduced water pressure or weak flow, even though everything else seems normal.
- Frequent on-off cycles of the pump motor (short cycling).
- Dirty, cloudy or foul-smelling well water—especially if iron bacteria or sediment buildup is involved.
- Strange noises from the well area or pressure tank when the motor runs.
- A dramatic jump in your energy bills—indicating your water pump is working harder than it should.
- An older well pump that’s approaching or past its typical lifespan.
- Repeated well pump repairs to the system that aren’t solving the underlying issue.
Our Well Pump Replacement Process
When you schedule a well pump replacement with A&T Well and Pump, our goal is to restore your home’s water pressure, flow, and reliability quickly and safely. From diagnostics to final testing, we handle the entire process using advanced equipment and professional care.
Initial Troubleshooting and Well Inspection
Our well pump technicians first check the well water pump, pressure tank, and electrical controls for issues that could be repaired without pulling the pump. If needed, we perform a video well inspection to assess well casing integrity, detect iron bacteria or sediment buildup, and pinpoint the pump’s depth and location.
Choosing the Right Pump and Components
Once we know your well depth, household water demand, and system condition, we’ll recommend the ideal well pump replacement setup. For deeper wells, a submersible pump offers strong, efficient performance; for shallow wells, a jet pump may be the right fit.
Removing the Old Equipment
Our team uses specialized pulling rigs and safety gear to remove the existing well pump, drop pipes, and connected wiring. During removal, we clean the well casing and pipe openings to eliminate mud, sediment, and buildup that could restrict flow or contaminate the system.
Installing the New Well Pump
The new water well pump and motor are carefully lowered into the well casing, attached to the drop pipe, and secured with a safety rope and torque arrestor to prevent twisting. Electrical and plumbing connections are sealed and tested, and the pressure tank and check valve are set for proper operation. Our team follows manufacturer specs and local code for every pump installation, ensuring a safe, efficient setup that meets performance expectations.
Testing and Final Verification
Before we leave, we test the pump system to confirm steady water flow, strong pressure, and leak-free operation. We also verify electrical safety and, when necessary, run a water quality test to ensure your water is clear of sediment and iron bacteria. Finally, our technician reviews maintenance recommendations and confirms that your well water pump replacement is functioning perfectly before wrapping up the job.
Don’t Wait for a Full Well Pump Failure
Early inspection can prevent outages, protect your equipment, and keep your water running smoothly.

Well Pump Replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need a well replacement or well repair service?
Go with well pump repairs if issues are limited—low water pressure, short-cycling motor, or minor electrical issues. Choose a well pump replacement when failures are frequent, the well water pump is older, costs are piling up, or the system won’t hold pressure after prior repairs. A professional inspection confirms the plan.
What is the average cost to replace a well pump?
Many standard residential well pump replacements in the Raleigh, NC area fall into the $1,000 – $2,000 range—but the actual cost depends significantly on well depth, equipment type (jet vs submersible), any additional system work (tank, wiring, pipe), and accessibility.
What is the average lifespan of a well pump?
With correct installation and good water quality, a submersible pump can often last 8-15 years, sometimes longer in lower-usage homes. That said, the lifespan can be reduced if the system experiences poor water quality, sediment or iron bacteria, frequent cycling, undersized equipment, or electrical issues.
What is a video well inspection?
A video well inspection is a diagnostic process where a specialized waterproof camera is lowered into the well to visually inspect its interior. It helps identify issues like cracks in the well casing, sediment buildup, or a failing submersible pump without unnecessary drilling or pulling the equipment.
What is a deep well pump replacement?
A deep well pump replacement means pulling and replacing the submersible well pump from a deeper well, then completing a correct pump installation with a properly sized new pump for your depth, flow, and pressure needs.
Is it possible to upgrade my well system during a well pump replacement for better performance?
Yes. During water pump replacement we can upgrade the pressure tank, controls, wires, check valve, and plumbing, add treatment if iron bacteria or sediment is present, or install a constant-pressure system—often helping you save money over time.
What types of well pumps are available for replacement?
For most wells, deeper applications use submersible pumps; shallow applications use jet pumps. We size the pump to your well’s depth, target flow, and home demand, and can add backup hand pumps if desired.
Can I replace my well pump myself?
While technically it might be possible, replacing a well pump involves multiple trades: electrical wiring, plumbing/well piping, proper drop pipe alignment, correct pump sizing, safe removal of the old pump, and compliance with local codes. Mistakes can lead to poor performance, more frequent repair, or even damage to the well casing.
For most homeowners in Raleigh with a well water pump, hiring a qualified professional is the safer, smarter plan.
Are there any maintenance tips to extend the life of my new well pump?
Schedule annual maintenance to test water quality, check pressure tank pre-charge, tighten electrical and plumbing connections, flush sediment, and inspect the drop pipe, safety rope, and wires. Catching problems early reduces emergency replacements and cost.
