Additionally, we take public information on other wells in your area into consideration upon calculating the cost of a new well.

Once the permit is granted and received, it typically takes on average, about a week’s time to drill a new well. This process includes drilling the well, hooking it up, and testing the water. However, it cannot be guaranteed, especially during summer. It is always best to apply for the permit at least a month in advance to ensure everything goes smoothly and you may want to consider having Apex Pros Plumbing Electric Heating & Air apply for the permit on your behalf for accuracy as the application process is something that might not be familiar to you.

If you notice your well pump is running constantly, it is highly likely there is a larger underlying problem with your pump. Potential issues with your well pump could be a leak in the drop pipe, air leaks in the impeller of the pump casing, faulty check valves inside of the well pump, and/or a damaged foot valve at the bottom of your well. If your well pump is running constantly, call a Apex Pros Plumbing Electric Heating & Air repair expert to help resolve the issue.

If your well pump is properly maintained, it should be okay to turn off your well pump. When doing so, it’s also a good idea to shut off the power to the hot water heater. In rare cases, a broken water line can siphon water out of the hot water heater, causing damage to the unit. It’s important to have your well pump properly maintained by a Apex Pros Plumbing Electric Heating & Air professional at least once a year.
