7 Warning Signs Your Well Pump Is Failing
If you live in Anderson, Carmel, Muncie, Noblesville, Pendleton, Tipton, Greenfield, Elwood, Fishers, or Westfield, you may notice changes in your water pressure, unusual pump noises, or slower recovery times. These are often early signs that your well pump may be failing.
Common early warning signs include:
1. Low or inconsistent water pressure
2. Short cycling (pump turns on/off rapidly)
3. Air sputtering from faucets
4. Humming, clicking, or grinding sounds
5. Water that suddenly stops and returns later
6. Dirty or cloudy water
7. High electric bills (pump overworking)
Pump problems often come from worn components, failing pressure switches, clogged intake screens, or declining groundwater levels in certain seasons. Submersible pumps across Madison, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, and Henry counties generally last 10–20 years, depending on water quality and usage. If your system is within this age range, symptoms should not be ignored.
A prompt diagnostic check can prevent costly repairs or complete failure. Busby Drilling uses advanced testing equipment, historical water data, and decades of pump-repair experience to pinpoint the exact cause.
If your pump is showing any warning signs, schedule a professional inspection with Busby Drilling Company today. Many of our customers tell us that they appreciate that we will repair a pump when we can rather than recommend an expensive and unnecessary replacement.
