What this covers

Rural and semi-rural properties run on wells, and when a well pump fails the property has no water at all — no shower, no toilet, no irrigation. Diagnosing correctly matters, because the fault is often not the pump itself but the pressure switch, control box, pressure tank or the drop wire in the well. Replacement pumps are matched to well depth, static water level and household demand.

Signs you need well pump service

No water at all from any fixture
Pump running continuously without shutting off
Pressure surges or pulsating at the fixtures
Breaker tripping when the pump starts
Air spitting from faucets
Sediment or grit in the water

How the work is done

Diagnose the system

Pressure switch, control box, tank and wiring tested before pulling anything.

Measure the well

Depth, static level and recovery rate checked to size any replacement correctly.

Pull and inspect the pump

Motor, impellers and drop pipe examined for wear, sand and burn marks.

Replace or repair

Pump, pressure tank or control components replaced as needed.

Test water and flow

Water quality test, then full-cycle pressure verification.

Typical Colorado cost

Scope	Typical range
Well pump diagnostic	$200 – $500
Pressure switch or control box replacement	$300 – $800
Pressure tank replacement (installed)	$700 – $1,800

Access for a pump hoist rig on the property
Water quality — sand, iron or sulphur all affect equipment choice

Local conditions that affect this work

Denver Metro

Metro housing stock is old enough that original galvanised supply lines, cast-iron stacks and clay laterals are all still in service, and pop-top and scrape-off remodels frequently layered new plumbing onto those aging mains.

Front Range

Denver's older neighbourhoods still run galvanised supply and clay sewer laterals under mature street trees, while the newer suburbs are slab-on-grade or shallow crawlspace with PEX. The two profiles fail in completely different ways.

Pikes Peak

The region's rapid post-war and modern build-out means a lot of homes are hitting the 30-to-50-year window where water heaters, polybutylene remnants and original supply lines all come due at once.

Western Slope

The valley mixes older farm properties on wells and septic with in-town housing old enough for original supply lines, so diagnosis here starts with whether the property is on municipal service or its own system.

Well Pump Service questions

How long does a well pump last?

Eight to fifteen years for a submersible pump, but sand, high mineral content and frequent cycling all shorten it. A correctly sized pressure tank that reduces start-stop cycling is the single biggest factor in pump longevity.

Why does my pump run constantly?

Usually a waterlogged pressure tank, a failed pressure switch, or a check valve letting water drain back. Continuous running also means the pump is drawing maximum power and will fail early, so it is worth diagnosing promptly.

Should I test my well water?

Yes, at least annually for total coliform and nitrates, and any time the water changes colour, taste or smell. Properties near agriculture or septic systems should test more often. A failed bacteria test calls for shock chlorination and retesting.

What is a constant-pressure system?

A variable-frequency drive that holds steady household pressure instead of cycling between cut-in and cut-out. It is more comfortable than a standard 40/60 switch and reduces pump cycling, at a higher upfront cost.

Why is there air in my water?

A dropped water level drawing air into the intake, a failing check valve, or a leaking suction line on a jet pump. Air spitting from the faucets and pressure that surges points at the water level or the check valve.
