What's Wrong With My Well?
Pick the symptom that matches. Each card lists the most likely causes and links to how we diagnose and fix it.
No Water From Your Well
Suddenly no water at all — usually the pump, pressure, or power, not a dry well.
Usually means
- · Failed well pump or motor
- · Tripped breaker or pressure switch
- · Waterlogged pressure tank
Low or Dropping Water Pressure
Weak flow or pressure that fades — often the tank, switch, or pump itself.
Usually means
- · Pressure tank waterlogged or air-side low
- · Worn pressure switch
- · Failing pump or clogged screen
Pump Won't Turn On
Power's on but the pump's dead — usually electrical, not the pump itself.
Usually means
- · Tripped breaker or bad capacitor
- · Failed pressure switch
- · Burned-out motor
Pump Won't Shut Off (Short-Cycling)
A pump that won't stop or cycles rapidly is usually a tank or switch issue — and it kills pumps fast.
Usually means
- · Pressure tank lost its air charge
- · Bad pressure switch
- · Leak on the pressure side
Air or Sputtering From Faucets
Spitting taps and air bursts can signal a dropping water level or a leak in the drop pipe.
Usually means
- · Static water level dropping
- · Cracked drop pipe or fitting
- · Failed check valve
Dirty, Sandy, or Cloudy Water
Sediment, sand, or cloudiness points to the well, the screen, or how deep the pump is set.
Usually means
- · Pump set too low / pulling sediment
- · Worn well screen or casing issue
- · Sediment in pressure tank
Smelly or Iron-Stained Water
Rotten-egg smell or orange staining is a water-quality issue we can treat at the source.
Usually means
- · Iron or sulfur bacteria
- · High iron / manganese in source water
- · Untreated hydrogen sulfide gas
Does Insurance Cover Well Pump Repair?
If your pump just failed, you're probably wondering if homeowners insurance will cover the cost.
Usually means
- · Covered: lightning, fire, storm, sudden accidental damage
- · Not covered: wear and tear, age, gradual breakdown
- · Document the cause before filing a claim
Which Part of the System Is It?
Most well problems trace back to four root causes — the pump, the pressure system, electrical, or water quality. The symptom you're seeing usually points to the fix.
The pump
No water, weak flow, or sediment often traces to a worn, failed, or poorly set pump.
The pressure system
Low pressure, swings, and short-cycling usually start at the pressure tank or switch.
Electrical
A pump that won't start is often a breaker, capacitor, or control box — not the pump itself.
Water quality
Smell, staining, or cloudiness points to iron, sulfur, or sediment we can treat at the source.
What Can You Safely Check First?
Three quick checks can save you time — and tell us a lot when you call.
Reset the breaker — once
If the pump starts and keeps running, you're likely set.
Check the pressure gauge
Near zero with the pump running points to the pump or well level.
Look at the tank
Rapid clicking or a tank that sounds full of water suggests a waterlogged tank.
Stop if the breaker trips again. Repeated resets can burn out the motor, and the switch and control box carry high voltage. Call (541) 401-1357

What Do Oregon Neighbors Say?
“I had a deep well pump failure and they made me a priority — out to assess within an hour, and a new pump, pipes, and controller installed by the next day.”
“On time for every appointment, finished faster than expected, and credited me for parts they didn't use. We were only without water about 5 hours while they replaced our pump and pressure tank.”
“Got estimates from three companies — Aqua Pro's was the most detailed and professional. Shayne has decades of experience and clearly knows his stuff. Highest-quality equipment, and a team that's professional and competent.”
