I have no water. What should I check first?
Check the well breaker and reset it once. Look at the pressure gauge near the tank. If the breaker trips again or the gauge reads zero, call. See the no-water checklist.

Do you serve Monroe, NY 10950?
Yes. Monroe, NY 10950 in Orange County, plus Chester, Warwick, Goshen, Woodbury, Middletown, Newburgh and other Orange County towns.
Who actually does the work?
Calls are connected to independent local well contractors. They confirm availability, pricing and their credentials with you directly.
Is my problem the pump or the pressure tank?
Rapid clicking, pulsing pressure, or water from the tank's air valve usually point to the tank. A pump that runs nonstop, trips the breaker, or can't build pressure points more to the pump. A technician confirms with measurements.
How much does a pressure tank replacement cost?
Often about $700–$2,000 installed, depending on tank size and fittings. That's a typical range, not a quote.
Can you come out today?
Availability depends on the day and the local crew's schedule. When you call, a local pro confirms how soon someone can come out.
How often should I test my well water?
Bacteria every year is a common recommendation, with a broader panel every few years and after any change. See our testing guide.
My water smells like rotten eggs. What causes that?
Usually hydrogen sulfide in the groundwater, or a reaction in the water heater if it's only on the hot side. Testing and a few simple checks narrow it down.
How much does a new well cost in Orange County?
Drilling is priced per foot plus casing, pump and tank. Totals often land around $6,000–$15,000+ because depth varies so much.
Do I need a well inspection to buy a house?
Many lenders require at least a bacteria test, and a full well inspection with a flow test is a smart step for any buyer. See well inspections.
What should I ask a well contractor?
Ask about their NYS DEC water well driller registration if drilling is involved, what diagnostic readings they took, what's included in the price, and what warranty comes with the equipment.
Can lightning damage my well?
Yes. Lightning and power surges can damage pressure switches, control boxes and pump motors. A surge protector rated for the pump circuit is worth asking about.
