"Always late or never turned up, he gave every excuse under the sun. Workmanship was very poor, he always left a mess that we ended up cleaning up afterwards. Still not finished the job after 4 months and we ended up hiring someone else to finish and redo the poor remodel and trim."

We have been in business for 10 years and I have over 20 years of experience. My grandfather did plumbing and heating his whole career as well as my father. So I learned the trades from them.

"We had this plumber here last February 2020 and we were pleased with him. He said he could redo the plumbing so it would be neater as the guys that had put in the water neutralizer had made quite a menagerie of pipes and etc. He also told us that it appeared that the pressure tank had a small leak and we should think about getting one in advance so we could replace it when needed. We called him for another repair this December 2021 and left messages on 12/10, 12/11 and 12/13 at the 715-453-8240 and he did not return the calls. Thinking that the number may have changed I searched online and found a cell number which I called and got an answer. I told him we had 3 leaks on the 13th of December and he said he couldn't come until the 17th so we limped along until then. When he got here he seemed crabby, he didn't answer my questions(some I asked 3 times) and he did the repairs which included two pipe leaks, a leaking pressure switch and he hooked up the new pressure tank. After they left we ran the water and the pump was short cycling. Come to find out he never set the pressure switch correctly so it was set at 40/30 so the pump was cycling off and on continuously when we ran the water. I should've stopped payment on the check. We adjusted the pressure switch and corrected the pressure tank as well. Also, he didn't have any 1 inch pipe so I found a piece of new 1 inch pipe that we had, then he needed a 1 inch to 3/4 inch tee that he didn't have so he had to go to Merrill to get that, we're in Gleason I was thinking, "what do you have in that fancy truck if you don't have these parts?" Then he charged us for the time it took for him to go to Merrill and back too yet. Very disappointed in his work. Will not be calling him again."

FAQs for well pump installation and replacement projects in Wausau, WI

You'll know your well pump is broken if you notice dirty or cloudy water, loud noises from the pump, inconsistent water pressure, or air sputtering from your faucets. Unexplained increases in your water bills can also indicate a problem. If you experience any of these signs, it's important to consult a professional promptly to prevent further damage.

With regular maintenance, a well pump lasts between 8 and 15 years. Factors such as the pump's quality, level of usage, water sediment levels, and frequency of servicing affect its lifespan. Hard water with high mineral content causes sediment buildup, leading to premature wear. Regular inspections and timely repairs help extend the life of your pump. If your pump is aging or showing signs of trouble, it may be time to consider a replacement.

It depends on the type of pump. A single line shallow pump can pump water 25 feet deep and then into your home. A 3/4 HP submersible pump can draw water from a depth of up to 250 feet. A deep well jet pump can pump water from up to 400 feet below ground.

While it’s important to check your individual homeowners policy, well pumps in need of replacement due to damage from a storm or fire are usually covered by insurance. The costs associated with well pumps that are in need of replacement after reaching their natural lifespan will likely not be covered by homeowners insurance.

Replacing a well pump takes a professional between half a day to a full day to complete. The exact time depends on factors such as the pump type, well depth, and accessibility. Shallow well pumps are quicker to replace, while deep submersible pumps require more time due to extensive piping and wiring. Scheduling with a qualified contractor ensures the replacement is done safely and minimizes disruption to your water supply.

Prevent well pump failure by scheduling regular maintenance, testing water quality, and addressing issues promptly. Install sediment filters to reduce mineral buildup and ensure proper water flow. Avoid overworking the pump by monitoring water usage, especially during dry periods. Installing a low-water cutoff switch prevents the pump from running when the well is low. Proactive care extends the life of your pump and keeps your water system running smoothly.
