About no water well pump help
When every tap goes dry, start with the simple things: the breaker for the well, whether the power is out, and what the pressure gauge near the tank reads. Do not open the pump control box or work on wiring.
Not every no-water call means a new pump. A failed pressure switch, a control part, a tripped breaker or a well that is drawing down can all stop the water. The details you give on the phone help the company bring the right parts.
Quick checks before you call
- Check the breaker for the well in your electrical panel. If it tripped once, you can reset it once. If it trips again, stop and call.
- Look at the pressure gauge near the pressure tank. A reading at or near zero is useful to tell the company.
- Check whether the power is out in your area. No power means no pump.
- Note what happened first. Sputtering, low pressure for days, or a sudden stop all point to different problems.
Do not open the pump control box or work on wiring. Leave that to the pro.
Signs to watch for
- Every tap is dry at once
- Water stopped mid-shower
- The pressure gauge reads at or near zero
- The breaker for the well is tripped
- The pump hums but no water comes
- Water came back weak, then stopped again
- The power just came back after an outage

No water from your well: common questions
Should I keep resetting the breaker?
No. If it trips again right after you reset it, leave it off and call.
Could a power outage be the cause?
Yes. A well pump needs power. Ready.gov: Power Outages (opens in a new tab) has tips for getting ready for outages.
Is the water safe to drink after the repair?
Ask the company that did the work. The EPA has US EPA: Protect Your Home's Water (opens in a new tab) on protecting and testing well water.
Can someone come tonight or this weekend?
That is up to the company you reach. Ask when you call.
Could my well have run dry?
It is possible, but far less common than an equipment problem. The company can check the water level.
