Do I Need a New Water Well? 5 Signs It’s Time to Drill

A properly built water well can serve your home for decades, but even the best wells don’t last forever. If you rely on well water and have noticed issues lately, it might be time to think about drilling a new one. Here are five clear signs your well may need replacing:

  1. Low or No Water Pressure
    If your faucets sputter or your water pressure is consistently low, it could mean your well isn’t producing enough water anymore.
  2. Water Quality Problems
    Stains, odours, or strange tastes are signs that your well could be drawing from contaminated or deteriorating sources.
  3. Visible Sediment or Sand in Your Water
    This may suggest your well screen has failed or that the water table has shifted.
  4. Your Well Is Shallow
    Older wells drilled at shallow depths are more vulnerable to contamination and seasonal drying.
  5. Frequent Pump Repairs
    If your well pump constantly needs fixing or replacing, the problem may lie with the well itself.

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, Canadian Soil Drilling can help assess your current well and recommend the right solution. A properly drilled new well ensures clean, reliable water for years to come.
