Residential Well Pump Services in Lafayette
When your pump quits, you lose water to the whole house: showers, laundry, the kitchen, even the toilets. We get it back fast.
If the well itself is failing and not just the pump, we also handle new well drilling.
Pump Installation & Replacement
Old pump dead or on its way out? We pull it, size the right replacement for your well depth and flow, and get your water back, often the same day.
Pressure Tank & Switch
Sputtering taps, rapid cycling, or pressure that fades in the shower usually trace back to the pressure tank or switch. We replace both and set steady pressure.
No Water? Fast Diagnosis
We find the real cause: pump, wiring, control box, tank, or the well itself. When it points to the well, we run a full well inspection.
Constant-Pressure Systems
Tired of pressure that drops when two taps run at once? A constant-pressure system holds strong flow through the whole house, even at peak use.
Water Lines & Pitless Adapter
We run and repair the line from your well to the house and set the pitless adapter below the frost line, so your supply never freezes.

How We Install Your Pump System
A pump is only as good as the install behind it. Here is how we make sure your system runs reliably for years.
1
Diagnose & Size
We test your well depth, flow, and water level, then size the pump and tank to match. The right size means steady pressure and a motor that lasts.
2
Pull & Replace
We safely pull the old pump and piping, inspect the well, and install your new pump on fresh wire and pipe rated for the job.
3
Set Pressure & Seal
We set the pressure tank and switch for smooth, steady flow and seal the wellhead and pitless adapter against frost and contamination.
4
Test & Walk You Through It
We test the system under real demand, confirm clean steady water at every tap, and show you how it works before we leave.
Well Pump & Water System Components
A reliable well is only as good as the system that brings the water inside. We install and match every part to your well, so you get strong, clean, steady water.
- Submersible & Jet Pumps: High-grade pumps sized to your well depth and your home demand for quiet, powerful, reliable water.
- Pressure Tank & Switch: The tank stores pressurized water and the switch cycles the pump at the right moments, which protects the motor and steadies your pressure.
- Pitless Adapter: Keeps your water line safely below the frost line, so your supply never freezes, even in an Indiana January.
- Constant-Pressure Controls: Optional variable-speed controls hold strong, even pressure through the whole house, even when several fixtures run at once.

Well Pump Questions, Answered
Thinking about a new pump, or trying to figure out why your water quit? Here are the questions Lafayette homeowners ask us most.
How much does it cost to replace a well pump?
Most residential well pump replacements run about $1,500 to $4,000 installed, depending on the pump type, your well depth, and whether the tank or wiring also needs work. You get a clear, itemized quote before we start.
How do I know if my well pump is going bad?
Common signs are no water, sputtering faucets, water pressure that drops or surges, the pump running constantly, or a jump in your electric bill. Any of these is worth a call before the pump quits completely.
How fast can you replace a failed pump?
Most pump replacements are a same-day or next-day job once we know what is wrong. Losing water is an emergency, and we treat it like one.
Should I repair or replace my well pump?
If the pump is newer and the issue is a switch, capacitor, or wiring, a repair makes sense. If it is near the end of its life, replacing it is the smarter long-term call. We will tell you straight which one you are looking at.
How long does a well pump last?
A quality submersible pump usually lasts 8 to 15 years, depending on water quality, run time, and how well the system was sized. A correctly matched pump and pressure tank is the biggest factor in a long life.
