No Water From Your Well? Here’s What to Check

Start here (safe checks)

1. Check the breaker. A tripped well-pump breaker is the number-one cause. Reset it once — if it trips again, stop and call a pro.
2. Look at the pressure gauge. Zero pressure points to a pump, switch, or tank issue.
3. Don’t poke at wiring. Well systems run on 230V. Leave electrical testing to a licensed tech.

Common culprits

• Failed well pump or motor
• Bad pressure switch (cheap and common)
• Waterlogged pressure tank
• Tripped breaker or wiring fault
• Stuck check valve or a pitless-adapter leak

Most no-water calls are back up and running the same day, because the failed part is a common one we carry on the truck. Don’t let anyone sell you a new well until the pump, switch, tank, and wiring have all been ruled out.
