Well Pump Replacement in Columbia, TN

Pulling and replacing a failed submersible or jet pump, with the drop pipe and wire inspected on the way up.

Replacement means pulling every foot of drop pipe, the safety rope and the wire out of the casing, swapping the pump, and setting it all back. On a shallow well that is an afternoon. On a 400 foot well it is a rig, a reel and a crew, which is why depth moves the price more than the pump itself does.

Because the labor is the same whether or not you change anything else, this is the moment to deal with the parts that are nearly worn out. Drop pipe, wire, the check valve, the pitless adapter and the torque arrestor are all cheap while the pump is on the surface and expensive as a separate trip six months later. A constant pressure system, if you want one, also costs less fitted now than retrofitted.

Typical cost: $900 - $2,800 for most residential wells; $2,800 - $5,500 where the well is 300 feet or deeper

When well pump replacement is the right call

• Diagnosis has confirmed the motor is drawing badly or not at all
• The pump is past twelve to fifteen years and has started failing intermittently
• Sand or grit is coming through, suggesting a worn impeller
• The existing pump is badly undersized for the household
