Why Hiring a Handyman for Well Pump Repairs Could Cause Bigger Problems Later
06/30/2025
If you rely on a well pump for your home in Whatcom or Skagit County, it’s important to know who you’re trusting with repairs. While a local handyman might offer a quick fix, hiring an unlicensed or inexperienced worker can lead to costly damage or even system failure down the road.
Well pumps are complex systems that rely on both electrical and plumbing components to deliver safe, consistent water to your home. A handyman may lack the specialized tools and certifications needed to properly diagnose and repair pressure switches, wiring, or pump motors. Incorrect repairs can reduce your system’s efficiency, cause premature failure, or even result in contaminated water.
Here’s how to protect your well pump investment:
- Always hire a licensed plumber with well system experience
- Schedule annual inspections and routine maintenance
- Monitor water pressure and usage, especially during dry spells
- Replace filters and clean your well regularly
- Avoid running multiple water-heavy appliances at the same time
