How Well Pumps Work
Well pumps are the heart of private water systems, moving groundwater from underground aquifers to homes or buildings. There are two primary types of well pumps that we install and service:
Submersible Pumps - installed deep within the well casing and use multi-stage impellers to push water upward to the surface. They operate quietly, are protected from surface contamination, and are especially effective for deep well applications.
Services we perform:
- Submersible well pump installation and replacement
- Electrical connections and control box repairs
- Pressure switch and pump motor testing/repair
- Leak detection and pipe/fitting repairs
- Well flow testing and system diagnostics
- Emergency service and system optimization
Jet Pumps - surface-mounted pumps that create suction to lift water, making them ideal for shallow to moderate-depth wells. They operate using venturi principles in combination with pressure tanks to draw water efficiently.
Services we perform:
- Jet pump installation and replacement
- Suction line and foot valve inspection/repair
- Pressure switch and motor testing/repair
- Priming and air leak troubleshooting
- Control box and electrical connection repairs
- System diagnostics and performance optimization
Common Well Pump Problems We Service
At Proline Plumbing, our team of technicians addresses a wide range of well pump issues, such as low or fluctuating water pressure, frequent pump cycling or short cycling, complete pump failure or motor burnout, electrical or control box problems, and unusual noises that may indicate mechanical wear. To accurately diagnose these issues, we conduct plumbing inspections using advanced tools and techniques, including static water level and flow rate testing, electrical continuity and pressure switch checks, and down-hole video inspections to identify sediment buildup, mechanical wear, or casing damage.
Preventive Maintenance Services
Ongoing maintenance helps avoid costly breakdowns and extends the life of your system. Our well pump maintenance includes:
- Pressure tank inspection and pre-charge adjustment
- Control box and electrical component testing
- Water quality analysis (pH, iron, mineral content)
- Evaluation of well capacity and system sizing
Pressure Tank and VFD System Services
Water pressure tanks play a crucial role in maintaining stable water pressure and minimizing pump cycling. Our team at Proline offers a range of services to support optimal tank performance, including proper tank sizing, testing of bladder and diaphragm components, replacement of failed or waterlogged tanks, and the installation of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems to improve energy efficiency and provide more precise pressure control.

When water stops flowing, you need fast help. Proline offers rapid-response 24-Hour Emergency Services for:
- Electrical failures during power outages or storm-related damage
- Frozen or burst pipes in winter conditions
- Pump motor burn out from dry running
- Events of contamination or system flooding
Our technicians keep their vans stocked with common replacement parts allowing them to deploy temporary solutions while permanent repairs are scheduled to be installed.
Water Quality & Pump Selection
Well pump design and installation can directly impact your water quality. We evaluate:
- Iron content, pH, and bacteria levels
- Corrosive water conditions that may damage pump components
- Need for water treatment or filtration systems
Stainless steel pumps, proper well seals, and tailored system configurations help protect your water supply.

Well Pumps FAQs
If the water coming out of your faucet is inconsistent and sputtering, that typically means your well pump is drawing in air to your water line, either due to a low water level in the well, a leak in the suction line, or improper priming.
With proper installation and maintenance, a submersible well pump typically lasts around 10–15 years or possibly up to 20 years in favorable conditions.
