Well stopped working? We dispatch across all 11 Houston service areas — Montgomery County, Harris County, and Waller County. Call and you reach a technician, not an answering service.
These quick checks take under 5 minutes and sometimes restore your water without a service call — saving you time and money.
Locate your electrical panel and find the well pump breaker. If it has tripped to the middle position, switch it fully OFF then back ON. A single trip is usually harmless; repeat trips signal a wiring or motor problem — call us.
Find the grey or black box on the pipe near your pressure tank. Many pressure switches have a small reset button or lever. Press it once. If pressure doesn't rebuild within 2–3 minutes, leave it and call — don't keep resetting.
A well pump won't run without electricity. Confirm other circuits in your house are live. After a storm, your meter base or main disconnect may have tripped — check with your power company before assuming pump failure.
Walk to your wellhead and pressure tank. Look for cracked pipes, water pooling around the tank, or frost (in rare winter freezes). If you see water actively spraying or a burst pipe, shut off the breaker and call immediately.
With the breaker on, open a faucet and listen near the pressure tank. A humming sound with no water usually means the motor is running but the pump is cavitating or the check valve has failed. No sound at all usually means electrical failure.
Even on simple fixes: if the problem recurs within 48 hours, call us for a full diagnostic before it becomes a bigger repair.
Full electrical and mechanical diagnosis to pinpoint the failure before any repair begins. Written findings every time.
Franklin Electric and compatible submersible motors, pulled and replaced once the failure is confirmed.
New pressure switch installation with properly calibrated cut-in and cut-out pressure settings.
Control box replacement for single-phase and three-phase systems. Surge-protected replacements available.
Wire testing from breaker to pump head, splice repair, and motor lead replacement.
We carry the most common pump sizes, pressure switches, and control boxes on the truck.
Hurricane season and Houston ice storms knock out grid power for days at a time. A generator prep kit keeps your well pump running even when the lights are out — no extension cords, no unsafe workarounds.
We install a properly wired transfer switch that lets you connect a portable or standby generator to your well pump circuit safely and legally. It's the single best investment for avoiding an emergency call after a storm.
Learn About Generator Prep Kits →The most common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, a burned-out pump motor, or a blown control box. Power surges during storms are a frequent culprit in the Houston area — a single voltage spike can kill a control box instantly.
You reach a technician rather than an answering service, and we dispatch across all 11 service areas in Montgomery, Harris, and Waller counties. Call (281) 448-4447 and we will tell you where we are and when we can get to you.
Diagnosis and minor repairs (pressure switch, control box) typically run $150–$450. Pump or motor replacement ranges from $800–$2,200 depending on horsepower and well depth. We quote in writing before any work begins — no surprise charges.
Annual pump inspections, a correctly sized pressure tank, a surge protector on your control box, and a generator prep kit for storm season are the four most effective steps. Ask us about our maintenance plan.
