Solve Your Emergency Well Water Problems!
If you have no water at all, check the following:
-
Make sure the circuit breaker for the well pump hasn’t tripped.
Open the electrical panel inside the house and check the breaker for your well pump. If you don’t know which breaker is for the well pump, look to see if any breaker has tripped. That is, look for a switch one that is neither in the on position or in the off position, but instead is in the middle. If you don’t see one like that, look for a breaker that is in the off position which is normally in the on position. Power surges, blackouts and brownouts, or an increased use in power can cause the circuit breaker to trip and shut off power to your well pump.
-
Check for voltage at the well.
If you have a volt meter or a multimeter, check that there is voltage at the top of the well.
-
Listen for grinding or scraping noises from the pump.
(You’ll need to have the pump actuated to perform this test.) If you do have power at the top of the well, you may also have power still going to the pump. If so, the water pump, may still be turning but with resistance. If you hear unusual sounds from deep in the well, your well pump may need to be repaired or replaced.
-
Listen for a humming sound from the pump.
(You’ll need to have the pump actuated to perform this test.) If you don’t hear the pump turning, listen for a humming sound.

If you have low water pressure, check the following:
-
Is your water muddy or murky? Do your spigots pump out air instead of water?
If one or more of these symptoms apply, water level in your well needs checking.
-
Is your water pressure tank functional? Is it causing low water pressure to the tap?
Check your pressure gauge (usually at the bottom of your pressure tank) there should be a 20 psi differential in pressure from the kick on point to the kick off point (30-50 psi / 40-60 psi).
If you don’t have the above pressure then try draining your water system to 0 psi and use a tire pressure gauge and find the air fill valve atop the tank. The pressure in the tank should be 2 pounds per square inch less than the setting at which the pressure switch comes on.
If you don’t have the tools to do these checks or need some over the phone assistance, give us a call. We can help you troubleshoot the problem or if need be, we’ll hop right over and resolve of your low well water pressure problems and right away.

If your pipes clank, rattle or make other strange noises:
- Impeller problems can cause loud sounds if there is corrosion, excessive wear or damage. Bearings and Pistons can cause clunking or whining noises if they are going bad or there is wear and tear. Excess air in the distribution system can cause a knocking, hammering or clunking sound. Pipes Must Be Tight at the top of the well pump and secured throughout your house. If the pipes are loose, they move when the pump turns on and cause a clunking sound. Loud banging may occur when a suddenly closed valve abruptly stops flowing water. High water pressure may be to blame if noise occurs when water is turned off. If you have any concerns, contact the professionals at Monticello Pump Services, Inc. to assist you with your emergency well repair service issues.

If you have a water leak:
- Water will leak if there is a bad connection, perforation or a crack in the pipe. Check for water pooling around the water tank and at the top of your well. See if you can pinpoint the source. Water leakage could be a sign of a serious problem.

What Our Customers are Saying:
We are so grateful to Monticello for all of the services they’ve provided to us. …we have had to replace our well-pump… Jason did all of the repair work and he was a consummate professional. Monticello was also prompt in providing information to our home insurance company which facilitated a quick claim on our end.
Suddenly our water went totally dead–so we knew it was the pump or the control inside the house. Monticello installed it 7 years ago, so we called them. They were extremely helpful right from the start, showing me how to try various things to restore the water without a visit (and a charge)..”all of the services they’ve provided to us. …we have had to replace our well-pump… Jason did all of the repair work and he was a consummate professional.

Paul at Monticello is the perfect example of what is great customer service and what it means to be a truly good human being. Not only is Paul extremely knowledgeable about sump pumps but he is extremely patient and fair. I highly recommend this business and working with Paul if you ever have any sump pump related issues. I can’t thank you enough, Paul!!
Called Monticello at 4:20AM Super Bowl Sunday and the phone was answered by Paul the owner. Clearly I woke him from a dead sleep but he immediately worked with me over the phone to determine why I did not have water. He spent at least 45 minutes working me through diagnosing the problem which ended up being a loose fuse, the best we could determine. He refused to take any payment for his help which I would have gladly paid. He could have scheduled a service call which he felt was not necessary, he said he just wanted to get the water back on for my family. In todays world so few Company’s and people exist that would do something like this that it shocks you. Thank you Paul!!!!!
I had Monticello install a constant water pressure system into my house on a Saturday afternoon. It only took the crew five hours to install. I am so happy I went with the upgrade because now I can take a shower using my body massage shower, you can definitely feel a 100% improvement in the water pressure.
Wonderful gentleman. Troubleshooted and walked me through my well water problem. I highly recommend using them for all of your well issues. Excellent customer service. Very personal. Highly professional. Could have charged me for an emergency call out. He called me back 3 times to verify that all systems were up and running.
My house is on a well and Monticello installed a constant pressure system. Now when we take showers or use the hose outside, the water pressure is unbelievable.
I use Monticello for all my well water needs. They are very polite, professional and on time.
I woke up one morning with no water, someone over the phone at Monticello Pump Service walked me step by step in trying to get my water back for me and it worked. After I was done speaking to Monticello I had my water back on and was up and running again.
