If you turn on the faucet and no water comes out, or if it's leaving the faucet in an unusual manner, there may be something wrong with your water pump and it could need replacement. You can expect to pay anywhere between $1,000 and $2,750 for a well pump replacement, according to Forbes. However, before you start looking at options, there are a few things you might want to know about water pump replacement. Keep reading to learn a few essential pointers.

Signs of Failure

If you're getting no water out of your faucet, it's a sure sign something has gone wrong. However, if you do have running water, you should still be on the lookout for any water that is foamy and bubbly. This means that there's too much air present.

The next factor to consider is the water pressure itself. Are you opening the faucet all the way and still getting a weak stream of water? That's a good sign that your pump is having problems.

Insurance Coverage

When something happens to your water pump, an insurance agent will see what caused the issue. Was it due to a fire or even vandalism? Chances are good that insurance will cover these scenarios. On the other hand, if it was a mechanical failure, then you're likely going to have to pay for everything out-of-pocket. Talk with your insurance agent to see what kind of coverage you have.

Replacement Timeframe

Replacing a water pump is a fairly intensive task, which means it's going to take a while. You could be looking at about four hours of work, and it'll be longer if it's submersible. Ask the technician on the job how long they see it taking. That way, you can be prepared and go to a family or friend's home if you're in need of running water.

Once something has happened to your pump, you'll find out how important it is to your everyday life. The sooner it can be fixed, the better. It's important to call a professional to come get things back up and running. We can connect you with experts who will bring running water back to your home in no time.
