Well Pump Repair in Augusta, ME
Submersible and jet pump repair and replacement when pressure drops or the water quits.
Pump Repair for Augusta Homes
The pump is the heart of your well system, and when it fails you usually find out the hard way — no water, brown water, or pressure that limps along. We diagnose and repair both submersible pumps (down in the well) and jet pumps (at the surface), test the motor, wiring, and water level, and replace the pump when it has truly failed. On Central Maine bedrock wells we pull, inspect, and reset pumps on poly or galvanized drop pipe, replace torque arrestors and check valves, and size the new pump to your well depth and yield so it does not short-cycle or run dry.
Local well service in Augusta
Augusta sits on both banks of the Kennebec, and the homes around it run the full range of Maine well systems — older dug wells on the west side, deep drilled bedrock wells out toward North Augusta and the rural stretches off Route 3 and Route 17. The granite under the capital region is exactly the kind that puts arsenic and uranium into well water, so testing matters here as much as the mechanical repairs. We handle the whole spread: pumps that quit, pressure tanks that short-cycle, acidic water eating copper pipe, and the iron staining that shows up on so many central-Kennebec wells. Winters off the river valley get cold enough to freeze shallow lines in unheated basements, and we keep that work moving through the worst of it. Whether you are in a downtown neighborhood near the State House or on a back lot with a 500-foot drilled well, we diagnose the actual fault before quoting and fix it so it holds.

Common Well Problems in Augusta
The issues we see most on local wells — and how we fix them.
Arsenic and uranium in bedrock wells
The granite around the Kennebec valley commonly leaches arsenic and uranium into drilled wells. You cannot taste or see it — testing is the only way to know, and many capital-area wells have never been checked.
Acidic water corroding copper pipe
Low-pH water is widespread here and shows up as blue-green staining and pinhole leaks in copper. An acid neutralizer protects the plumbing, pump, and fixtures from being eaten away.
Winter freeze-ups in river-valley basements
Cold air settling in the Kennebec valley freezes shallow lines and exposed pipe in unheated basements and crawlspaces. We thaw the freeze and fix the weak spot so it does not repeat.
