Quick answers
Who do I contact when a well stops giving water?
King County Public Health (Seattle area) recommends that people with wells producing little or no water contact a water professional like a well driller, pump installer, or water system engineer. This site isn't that professional and gives no diagnosis or advice. To check a company, use the Washington L&I “Verify a Contractor” page.
How much does a well pump repair or replacement cost?
Prices vary widely with the well, the pump and the work. This site can't estimate or quote your cost, and nothing here is a guarantee of any company's work or price. Ask any company for a written price that says what is included before work starts.
