Common Pump Issues We Fix

Well Pump Failure

If you have no water pressure or your pump is short-cycling (turning on and off rapidly), you need immediate service to prevent burning out the motor.

  • Pressure Switch Replacement
  • Bladder Tank Replacement

Grinder Pump Alarms

Is your red alarm light on or buzzer sounding? Stop using water immediately to prevent sewage backup. We carry replacement pumps and floats.

  • Float Switch Repair
  • Control Panel Troubleshooting

Is Your Grinder Pump Alarming? Do This Now.

A grinder pump alarm is serious. The buzzer means your tank is full. It means the pump stopped moving waste. Do not ignore it. Stop using water completely. If you flush a toilet or run a sink, sewage will back up into your house.

  1. Silence the alarm. Press the button on the control panel. This stops the noise. It does not fix the pump.
  2. Stop all water use. Do not flush. Do not shower. Do not run the dishwasher.
  3. Check the float switches. Are you comfortable opening the lid? Sometimes trash jams a float. Clearing it might reset the system.
  4. Call us at (252) 503-1295. We carry new float switches. We carry control panels. We carry full replacement pumps on our trucks.

No Water from Your Well? Here's What's Happening.

  • No water at all — submersible pump may have failed or lost prime
  • Pump running but no pressure — bladder tank may be waterlogged or pressure switch failed
  • Short-cycling (on/off rapidly) — tank bladder failure, overloading the motor; stop use to prevent burnout
  • Sputtering or air in the lines — low well level or air leak in the drop pipe
  • Brown or gritty water — sand intrusion, well screen failing or pump drawing bottom

What We Do When We Arrive

For grinder pump calls, we check the control panel first. We test the pump power draw. We check the float positions. We test the switches. Most alarms happen because a float switch or control board fails. We carry these parts on our truck. Did the whole pump fail? We pull it out and drop a new one in the tank. We also inspect the tank for cracks for free.

For well pump calls, we test the pressure switch first. We check the tank air charge. These are fast, simple fixes. Did the deep submersible pump fail? We work with local well drillers to pull the deep pipe and replace the pump. We also test your blue pressure tank bladder. If it holds water instead of air, we replace it on site.

"Clint was recommended to us by our builder. We wanted to remove our old shower and upgrade. Clint answered his phone and responded swiftly. This is BIG in business....he actually answers the phone and returns calls! And TEXTS, too! Clint to the rescue! He did a fine job upgrading our shower! He helped in the planning, responded quickly with an estimate, was on time to do the several-days-job, and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, we had a problem with our kitchen sink faucet on a Sunday at 6:30 pm. I called Clint and he facetimed me to help me resolve it. However, and unbelievably, I could not get the faucet to turn off the water, the water source line handles (valves) under the sink would not turn, AND the handle that allows water into the house would not operate properly. He was at our house in 30 minutes, shut off the water at the meter, replaced the handle on the water shut off to the house, and replaced the shut off valves under the sink! He sat with us and discussed out choice of new faucets, and he returned the next day with an updated faucet. Great job, Clint."

"We recently hired Clint and his team to power wash our house, carport, and driveway, and to run plumbing up to our two decks. Everything was in really rough shape before they came, and the difference is like night and day. They were fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. The concrete and exterior look almost brand new, and the new water lines to the decks are exactly what we needed. We're very happy with their work and will definitely be using Clint and his crew again!"

"Problems solved, fast... and in the pouring rain! I had an inspection report on a historic house I was selling come back with 2 leaks under the house. So I had to move fast. I called a dear friend who recommended, Clint. First thing the next morning, Clint and Hank worked for 2 hours in the pouring rain assessing the problem, securing the right parts, and fixing the leaks! I highly recommend these two professionals!"
