Everything Houston-area homeowners need from one family-owned crew — well water pump replacement, pressure tanks, constant pressure upgrades, new wells, and ongoing maintenance. Franklin Electric authorized dealer, TDLR licensed. Emergency service available — call us.
B-E Waterwell Services has kept Houston-area homes in clean, reliable water since 1979. We're family-owned, TDLR licensed, and a Franklin Electric authorized dealer — which means the same crew that drills your well also replaces your pump, replaces your pressure tank, and helps when the water stops.
Whether you need a fast well water pump replacement, a new pressure tank to stop that short-cycling, a constant pressure upgrade, or a brand-new well, we quote every job in writing before any work begins — no surprise charges, no pressure.
A new residential well drilled to the water-bearing zone or the water-bearing zone — permitted, cased in Schedule 40 PVC, and finished with pump and pressure tank.
Restore a tired well producing brown, gritty, or low-yield water — well screen repair, redevelopment, and iron-bacteria treatment instead of drilling new.
Annual well water pump maintenance and inspection that catches early wear, keeps your warranty intact, and prevents the emergency call before it happens.
Lost water pressure or no water at all? B-E Waterwell Services has diagnosed and replaced well pumps across the Houston area for over 45 years. We carry common equipment to diagnose and replace efficiently, and emergency service is available. As a Franklin Electric authorized dealer, our technicians are factory-trained on Franklin motors and control boxes.
Turned on a faucet and nothing came out? Could be a tripped breaker, failed pump, or broken pressure switch. Call us — this is an emergency.
Pressure dropped overnight or after a power outage? Your pump or pressure tank may have failed. Do not wait — low pressure often means the pump is working overtime.
If your pump runs continuously and never shuts off, your tank's air bladder has failed or your pump can't build pressure. This will burn out your motor fast.
A pump that clicks on and off rapidly every few seconds has a waterlogged tank. But ignore it and you run the risk of burning up the pump entirely.
Sputtering air mixed with water usually means it's time for maintenance. Over time, wells need to be maintained to keep optimal performance.
Brown, rusty, or sandy water after years of clear water often means your well screen has failed or your pump is pulling sediment. Time for an inspection.
Pricing depends on your location, well depth, static water level, and equipment selection — call us to discuss your project.
A pressure tank stores a reserve of pressurized water so your pump isn't starting every time you wash your hands. When the tank's bladder fails, the pump short-cycles — the single biggest cause of premature motor failure in Houston's mineral-heavy water. We replace tanks and, for homes tired of pressure swings, upgrade to a constant pressure (VFD) system that holds city-like pressure continuously.
Tank spring a leak? Waterlogged bladder tank? Quality tanks in stock and ready for installation.
Pump turns on and off every few seconds — the classic sign of a waterlogged or undersized tank. A correctly sized tank stops the cycling that wears out motors.
The bladder has failed and the tank is full of water with no air cushion, and it is due for replacement.
A 2-bedroom home needs ~20 gallons; 3-bedroom homes ~32; 4+ bedroom or irrigation properties 44–80 gallons. Undersizing is the #1 cause of premature pump failure.
Most pressure tank replacements are completed in a single visit — tank, fittings, pre-charge setup, and labor — and immediately stop the short-cycling that kills pumps.
A variable frequency drive (VFD) system holds pressure within ±2–3 PSI continuously. Shower while the dishwasher runs and three irrigation zones water — no surges, no drops.
A VFD pump soft-starts and runs only as fast as demand requires — typically 30–50% less electricity and a soft start that extends motor life. Actual savings vary by household and usage.
Houston isn't just hurricane country — it's ERCOT country. The February 2021 winter storm and Hurricane Harvey left parts of Montgomery County without power for over a week, and rural areas outside city water routinely lose power for 3–7 days in major weather events. When the grid goes down, your well pump stops. A generator prep kit — a transfer switch and properly wired generator inlet — lets you plug in a portable generator and restore water within minutes.
Transfer switch and dedicated generator inlet receptacle wired to your well pump circuit. Connect your own portable generator during an outage without back-feeding your panel. Installed in 2–4 hours. We supply and install the prep kit — we do not sell or install generators. For panel work, contact your electrician.
A manual transfer panel wired specifically for the well pump circuit. Sized to your pump, not to your house.
Install in spring — March through May, before June 1. Once a named storm approaches, contractors book up within hours. We recommend a minimum 5,000W generator for most residential well pumps.

Common signs include: sudden loss of water pressure, air sputtering from faucets, the pump short-cycling (turning on and off rapidly every few seconds), unusually high electric bills, or complete loss of water. Any of these symptoms warrants an immediate inspection — a failing pump can damage your motor and pressure tank if left unaddressed.
Rapid on/off cycling — called short cycling — is almost always caused by a waterlogged pressure tank with a ruptured bladder or faulty air-system components. We diagnose this on-site and can usually resolve it quickly.
Low pressure from a well typically points to one of four causes: a failing or undersized submersible pump, a waterlogged pressure tank, a clogged well screen or intake, or a drop in the water table (especially during dry Texas summers). Our technicians will test the system from pump to tank to identify the exact cause.
Pricing depends on your location, well depth, static water level, and equipment selection — call us to discuss your project.
A quality submersible well pump lasts 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Pumps in Houston-area wells with iron-heavy water or that short-cycle frequently may fail sooner. Regular annual inspections catch early wear before you lose water completely.
For most residential pump failures in the greater Houston area, we carry common equipment to diagnose and replace efficiently. Emergency service available — call us directly at (281) 448-4447.
