Steve’s Pump Service Inc

Suddenly, without much warning, we had no water one morning. Nothing. Nada. Zip. ‘A’olé. I’d noticed that the pressure was down the night before and was afraid that by morning we’d have nothing at all. I was right, and was pretty sure it was our well pump going bad. This is not good news for people who depend on well water like we do.
Before 8 a.m. I called Steve’s Pump Service; we’d had them out here years and years ago. We knew our well pump was bad; it was original with the house, which was built in 1966 and I knew it could go any time. Actually, I figured we were overdue.
Steve told me he’d have someone out by 11 a.m., and he was true to his word. Jason, his son, arrived promptly and went right to work. He discovered a couple of different problems with it, but got the pump running again. The problem was that we had no idea how long the pump would last since it was so old. It could be years, it could be a day. In the end, we decided to replace it. Another huge expense we weren’t planning on!
It took several hours, but ultimately we got the new pump put in. It was a fascinating process to watch. These guys really earn their money, let me tell you! Jason was on the ground, then hopping up onto the truck, then down again, wrapping pipe to pull it all up, wrapping pipe to put it all down again. I was really glad it was a cool day, and not raining. Talk about hard, dirty, exhausting work! This is no sitting behind a desk job. Jason has been helping his Dad since he was a boy, and knew what he was doing. Through it all, he and his partner were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable.
Jason, from Simply Shocking Electric (see my review here:
) to give them a hand, too. He did some wiring that needed to be done, and I was glad he was here too. All three guys worked really well together.
By the end of the afternoon we had our new pump in. Jason told me that the one we had was built to last, one of the best ones ever made, with an unusual life expectancy of 45 – 50 years. So we were due for a new one, since this one was original to the house.
I can’t say enough good things about Steve’s Pump Service. They made sure we didn’t have to stay without water, installed the new pump quickly and efficiently (even though we weren’t on their schedule for the day), and cleaned up after themselves. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I highly recommend them.
