Well Pump Repair in Globe, AZ

Water Well Pump Repair for Homes, Ranches and Farms

Well pump repair starts with what the well is doing. You turned on the faucet and nothing came out, or the pressure fell to a trickle. The pump kicks on and off every few seconds, or the breaker keeps tripping. Some wells start spitting air, and some start bringing up sand.

We test the electrical side before anything gets pulled. The pressure switch, the control box, the wiring and the motor readings say whether the pump is dead. A bad switch or a burned control box is a far smaller repair than a pump. When the readings say the pump has to come out, we pull it with our own pump hoist rig.

Pipe and wire fail down the hole too, and we fish out pumps and pipe that have broken off. While the pump is out we replace worn drop pipe, wire, check valves and fittings, then set it back at the right depth. When a repair stops making sense we quote a well pump replacement instead. When the pump is sound but the pressure is not, the trouble is usually the well pressure tank.

• Wells with no water, low pressure, air in the line or sand in the water
• Pressure switch, control box, wiring and motor readings tested before the pump comes out
• Pumps pulled and reset with our own truck-mounted pump hoist rig
• Pump fishing: pumps, pipe and rod retrieved from the bottom of the well
• Pumps reset at the right depth, because a pump set above the water level never pumps
• Worn drop pipe, wire, check valves, torque arrestors and well seals replaced with the pump
• Household wells, ranch and stock wells, irrigation wells and small commercial wells

Shallow Creek Bottom Wells to Deep High Country Wells

The wells out here are not built alike. In creek bottom country a well can be under 100 feet deep. In the high country we have set pumps more than 700 feet down. Some feed one house, and some fill stock tanks, run irrigation or pump on nothing but sunlight.

That range is why the rig and the tools matter. We run our own pump hoist rig and our own fishing tools. A pump that broke off down the hole comes up with the same rig that pulls the good ones. The electrical side gets tested first, and the scope of work and the quote come before repairs begin.

Much of this work sits at the end of a long dirt road. We get to ranch and stock wells miles off the pavement, through summer desert heat and high country weather. House pumps, solar well pumps, water storage tanks and windmills all come from one company. The well, the tank and the line out to a trough are all part of the same job.
