Hungerfords Pump Service

  • How long do well pumps last?

    Well pumps typically have a lifespan of six to ten years or longer, with their durability dependent on factors such as frequency of use, the quality of your water, and how well they've been maintained.
  • Why does my well pump run constantly?

    A continuously running pump is usually caused by one of several issues: worn impellers, a leak in your vacuum or pressure system, a clogged jet or screen, issues with the pressure switch, or a water table that has dropped below normal levels.
  • Why is my water pressure low?

    Low water pressure often indicates one of three common problems: pipes that have become clogged, a pump that's beginning to fail, or a pressure switch that isn't functioning correctly.
  • What should I do if I have no water?

    When you experience a water outage, first verify your circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If power isn't the issue, the problem could be a pump failure, broken pipe, or a malfunctioning pressure switch.
  • Should I hear my pump running?

    Some operational noise from your pump is expected, however, grinding sounds or unusually loud operation typically signals a serious problem that requires immediate professional attention.
