There are different reasons why you're out of water: if you have water anywhere, plumbing problems are common so check what your pressure gauge reads. It could be related to your well. To avoid electrical shock, it’s best to call a professional to handle this matter.
Your water pump may not be producing ample amounts of water, or it may be worn out from usage. Inspect filters and bypass your water softener. Call us for an in-depth assessment of your well.
Drilled wells typically have a steel or PVC casing sticking out of the ground ("4 to 8" in diameter). However, if you have a larger steel or concrete lid, then it is likely your well is a hand dug or bored well. They are common on older properties in Maryland and often have surface water contamination issues due to their age and shallow depths.
Absolutely! Have your water tested by a certified professional. That way it can be tested for any heavy metals, nitrates, bacteria, or other components in it. It’s a necessary step for health reasons.
There's no way to know for sure how much water a well will produce prior to drilling. However, a good well contractor will properly develop the well to maximize the yield from your well.
Your well drilling contractor should do a yield test after drilling your new well and provide you with the results. If you don't have that or it has been a while, give us a call and we can provide you with your well records (even if we didn't drill it!) and do a proper up-to-date yield test on your well.
