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:
- 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. - Water Quality Problems
Stains, odours, or strange tastes are signs that your well could be drawing from contaminated or deteriorating sources. - Visible Sediment or Sand in Your Water
This may suggest your well screen has failed or that the water table has shifted. - Your Well Is Shallow
Older wells drilled at shallow depths are more vulnerable to contamination and seasonal drying. - Frequent Pump Repairs
If your well pump constantly needs fixing or replacing, the problem may lie with the well itself.
