Lost water after the power went out?

This is one of the most common calls we get from rural Fauquier. The power blinks, comes back, and the house has no water. Before you assume the pump died, know this: some pressure switches have a low-pressure cutoff. After an outage, that switch can drop out and will not restart on its own until it is reset.

Do not open the switch cover or touch any wiring. Call 703-791-3981 and we can help figure out what happened, then come reset it safely. Our guide on losing water after a power outage covers it too.

Well pump repair in Marshall: phone first, then the visit

Marshall sits up where I-66 meets Route 17 and Route 55. We are honest about that. A quick call lets us figure out if the trip is needed, and if it is, what to bring.

Our free diagnosis is offered within reason. A phone diagnosis comes first.

We are a family company, three generations now. Ken Lindgren started us in 1987, and his problem-solving came from working on oil rigs. That habit of working a problem through before reaching for parts is still how we handle calls from far out.

Short cycling and the pressure tank

If the pump clicks on and off every few seconds, that is short cycling. It often points to a pressure tank that has lost its air charge or failed. Short cycling is hard on a pump and can shorten its life.

A check you can do safely

  1. Turn the well breaker off.
  2. Run cold water until it stops.
  3. Check the tank’s air valve with a tire gauge.

On a 40-60 switch, it should read about 38, roughly 2 psi under the low number. Our pressure tank guide has more detail.

If the reading is far off, or water comes out of the air valve, the tank may be waterlogged. Stop there and call us. Do not try to add air to a tank that is spitting water.

When we do replace a pump or tank

We install Gould, Myers and Grundfos well pumps and Well-X-Trol tanks. Pump installs carry a 5-year warranty. Out of water right now? Call 703-776-0996. See our emergency no-water service for more.

Questions we hear a lot

Why did my well stop working after a power outage?

Some pressure switches have a low-pressure cutoff that drops out when pressure falls during an outage. It will not restart by itself until reset. Call 703-791-3981 and we can help you figure out if that is what happened, without you touching any wiring.

What does it mean when my well pump clicks on and off fast?

That is called short cycling. It is often caused by a pressure tank that has lost its air charge or failed. It wears on the pump, so it is worth fixing soon.

What should my pressure tank read?

With the well breaker off and the water drained down, the air should sit about 2 psi under the switch's low number. On a 40-60 switch, that is around 38. Common settings are 30-50, 40-60 and 60-80.

Do you service wells in Marshall, VA 20115?

Yes. Call and we will talk it through, then plan the visit. Often we can diagnose by phone and arrive with the right parts.

Should I buy a generator for my well?

A generator can keep water running during an outage if it is sized for the pump. Talk with a licensed electrician about sizing and hookup. We can tell you about your pump so you have the right information.

What pressure tank brand do you use?

We install Well-X-Trol pressure and holding tanks. We match the tank size to your pump and household. A properly balanced tank helps protect the pump.

Is it the pump or the pressure switch?

It can be hard to tell from inside the house. Symptoms like no water, low pressure or constant running can come from either. That is why we ask questions by phone first and test on site.

How fast can you get to Marshall for a no-water call?

If you have no water, you go first. Timing depends on how the day is running. Call 703-776-0996 and we will give you an honest idea.
