Your Well Quit. We Get the Water Back On.

It depends entirely on which part failed. A pressure switch or control box repair typically runs a few hundred dollars. A pressure tank replacement sits in the middle. A full submersible pump replacement on a deep Piedmont well is the expensive end, because the pump, wire, drop pipe and the labour to pull several hundred feet of column are all involved. We give you the exact number at your wellhead before any work begins.

Listen to the cycling. If the pump kicks on and off every few seconds while a tap is running, the pressure tank has lost its air charge and the bladder is almost certainly gone. If the pump runs and runs without building pressure, or does not start at all, the problem is more likely the pump, the switch or the wiring. A five-minute test at the tank tells us for certain.

Most drilled wells across the North Georgia Piedmont and Blue Ridge land between roughly 200 and 600 feet, because water there is held in fractures in the bedrock rather than in sand. Yields are often modest, in the range of a few gallons per minute. Further south, in the coastal plain, wells are generally shallower and draw from sand aquifers, which is why jet pumps are more common down there.

Usually, yes. We stock common submersible pumps, tanks and switches on the truck, so a call that comes in during the morning is often finished by evening. A very deep well, an unusual voltage, or a casing problem discovered during the pull can push it to the next day. If that happens we will tell you at the wellhead, not afterwards.

Yes. We service shallow-well and deep-well jet pumps, including priming faults, worn impellers, leaking suction lines and failed foot valves. Jet pumps are less common on newer North Georgia wells but still very much in use on older properties and throughout the southern half of the state.

Sediment normally means the pump is drawing from too near the bottom of the well, where silt collects, or that the screen or casing has been compromised. It can also spike after heavy rain if surface water is finding its way in. Raising the pump setting sometimes solves it outright, so it is worth having the depth checked before anyone talks about a new well.

We cover Northeast Georgia: Habersham, Hall, Jackson, Madison, Franklin, Hart, Stephens, Banks, White and Clarke counties, with Cornelia and the surrounding Habersham communities at the centre of our service radius. We travel further out for larger jobs. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and we will tell you straight away.
