What Makes Well Water Different Around Here

Low-yield bedrock wells

Most rural wells in Columbiana County and the southern edge of our area tap Pennsylvanian bedrock, which ODNR rates a moderate-to-poor aquifer with typical yields from a few gallons per minute up to a couple dozen. The sand-and-gravel buried valleys near Salem and Columbiana do much better. If your well is on the low end, a bigger pump is not the answer — it just draws the well down faster.

Sulfur, iron, and manganese

Rotten-egg smell, orange staining, and black specks are the local signature. It is common enough that the Village of Lisbon aerates its own municipal well water to strip hydrogen sulfide, iron, and manganese before it reaches taps. On a private well we test first and size treatment to the result, not to a guess.

Point-of-sale inspections

The Columbiana County Health District requires the private water system and septic system to be inspected when a one-, two-, or three-family home changes hands. If an inspection turns up a failing pump, a waterlogged tank, or a bacteria hit, that is exactly the work we do — and we can test the water while we are on site.

Jack says: "Nine times out of ten the pressure tank gets blamed on the pump. Testing the tank first is cheaper than pulling a pump you did not need to pull."

Common Questions

Do you drill new wells?

No. We do not drill wells, and we will tell you that up front rather than waste your time. What we do is everything on the water side of an existing well: pump repair and replacement, pressure tanks, pressure switches and controls, the line from the well into the house, well shock and disinfection, and water treatment. If you need a brand-new well drilled, you need a licensed well driller, and we are happy to point you toward one.

How long does a well pump last?

A submersible pump usually runs 8 to 15 years, and a jet pump tends to run a little less. Pressure tanks often fail sooner than the pump does. Short-cycling is the big lifespan killer: when a pressure tank loses its air charge, the pump starts and stops constantly and burns out years early. If your pump is over a decade old and cycling hard, budget for replacement before it quits on a holiday weekend.

Why does my water sputter and spit air?

Air at the tap almost always means one of three things: the pressure tank has lost its air charge and is waterlogged, the water level in the well has dropped to where the pump is drawing air, or there is a leak in the drop pipe or a bad check valve letting the column of water fall back. They are different repairs at very different prices, so the first thing we do is test the tank pressure and the pump draw instead of guessing.

My well runs out of water when we do laundry and showers. Is the pump bad?

Often the pump is fine and the well itself is simply low-yield. In this part of Ohio the bedrock aquifers that most rural wells tap are moderate-to-poor producers, with typical yields in the single digits to a couple dozen gallons per minute, while the sand-and-gravel buried valleys can yield far more. If your well is on the low end, the fix is usually managing storage and draw rather than a bigger pump, because a bigger pump on a weak well just pulls it down faster.

Our well water smells like rotten eggs. Can you fix that?

Yes, and it is common around here. That smell is hydrogen sulfide, and it often travels with iron and manganese in local groundwater. It is a real enough problem in this county that the Village of Lisbon runs its municipal well water through an aerator specifically to strip hydrogen sulfide, iron, and manganese before it reaches taps. On a private well we test first, then size treatment to what the test actually shows.

Do I need a well inspection to sell my house?

In Columbiana County, yes. The Columbiana County Health District requires point-of-sale inspection of the private water system and septic system on one-, two-, and three-family homes. Requirements differ by county, so check with your local health district. We can handle repairs that come out of an inspection, and we can test the water while we are there.

What does well pump replacement cost?

It depends on whether it is a submersible or a jet pump, how deep the well is, and whether the pressure tank, wiring, or drop pipe need to go at the same time. Pulling a pump from a deep well is more labor than swapping a shallow jet pump in a basement. We diagnose first, quote the whole repair before we start, and financing is available on full replacements. Call (330) 574-1507 and we can usually get out the same day on a no-water call.
