Pump Maintenance & Inspections in Northern California
Preventative maintenance is the key to a long-lasting pump system. Our annual inspections catch small issues before they turn into 11 PM emergencies — saving you money and stress.
What's Included in an Annual Inspection
A pump system is more than just the pump. Our maintenance visit checks the whole system so nothing is missed:
- Electrical draw and motor amperage testing
- Pressure switch operation and cut-in/cut-out settings
- Pressure tank air charge and bladder integrity
- Check valve and foot valve inspection
- Wellhead seal and sanitary conditions
- Control box and capacitor check
- Full system flow and pressure test
Why Maintenance Matters
Most pump failures don't happen suddenly — they develop over weeks or months. A pressure tank that's lost its air charge forces the pump to short-cycle, burning out the motor prematurely. A failing pressure switch can leave you with no water at the worst possible time. Our inspection catches these issues early, when they're inexpensive to fix.
Pump Maintenance FAQ
How often should I have my pump system inspected?
We recommend an annual inspection for most residential systems. If your pump is older, runs frequently, or serves a commercial property, twice-yearly inspections may be appropriate.
What does a pump inspection include?
Our inspection covers electrical draw and motor amperage, pressure switch operation, pressure tank air charge and bladder integrity, check valve and foot valve inspection, wellhead seal, control box and capacitor, and a full system flow and pressure test.
Can maintenance prevent pump failure?
In many cases, yes. The most common cause of premature pump failure is short-cycling due to a waterlogged pressure tank — something an inspection catches early.
How much does a pump inspection cost?
