First, are you on a well at all?
Here is the honest part. Most homes inside the City of Manassas, from Old Town Manassas outward, run on public water. If that is you, a pump problem is not your problem, and you should call the city.
But a Manassas mailing address covers a lot of ground. Plenty of homes in the 20108, 20109, 20110, 20111 and 20112 ZIP codes sit out in Prince William County, where private wells are common. Those are the homes we serve. A quick way to tell: if you have a pressure tank in the basement or utility room and no water bill, you are on a well.
Common well pump calls around Manassas
Water pressure dropped slowly
A pump that is wearing out often shows it gradually. Showers get weaker, the pump runs longer, and the pressure never seems to build. A waterlogged tank can look the same, which is why we test both. More on low water pressure on a well.
Air spitting from the faucets
Sputtering taps can mean the water level is dropping near the pump, a leak in the drop pipe, or a pump losing its grip. It is worth a look before it becomes no water. If it comes with cloudy water, tell us when you call, since that helps narrow down the cause.
Pump runs and never shuts off
Before blaming the pump, listen for a running toilet or check an outdoor spigot. Either one can keep a pump running all day. If nothing is leaking, a worn pump may not be reaching the shutoff pressure, and that wears it down fast.
No water after a storm
Some pressure switches drop out after a power outage and will not restart on their own. Check the well breaker, then call. Please do not open the switch cover. Our guide on losing water after a power outage explains why.
Water pooling near the wellhead
A wet spot or hissing near the well can point to a leak at the pitless adapter. See water pooling near a well.
