Well Pump Sarasota is a full-service well pump and water system company serving Sarasota and all of Sarasota County. We handle everything a private well needs: pump repair when yours quits, new pump installation and replacement, pressure tanks, well drilling for new wells, and water treatment for the hard, sulfur-heavy water this part of Florida is known for. Whether your water went out this morning or you are planning a new well on acreage, we find the real problem, give you a firm price up front, and get your water running right.
Wells are a way of life across Sarasota County, from the neighborhoods east of I-75 to the ranches and rural properties out toward Myakka. The water here comes from the Floridan Aquifer, which runs hard and often carries sulfur and iron that wear on pumps and stain fixtures over time. Add the afternoon lightning storms that spike pump control boxes every summer, and a well system here works harder than most. We size pumps, tanks, and treatment for those local conditions, not for a generic install.
If your well is doing any of these, we can tell you why, and fix it.
Nothing at any faucet usually means a dead pump, a tripped breaker, or a failed pressure switch or control box. We find which one fast.
Weak flow or pressure that fades over time points to the pump, a waterlogged pressure tank, or a clogged system.
A pump that runs constantly or clicks on and off every few seconds is usually a bad tank or pressure switch, and it burns the pump out.
Spitting, sputtering faucets mean air in the line, often a dropping water level, a leak on the suction side, or a failing pump.
A sulfur smell, staining, or sandy water is common on Florida wells and points to water that needs treatment.
No hum and no response means a dead motor, blown capacitor, bad control box, or wiring damage, frequently after a storm here.
Pump repair, installation, and replacement, pressure tanks, well drilling, and water treatment, the full range for private wells across Sarasota County.
When your well pump quits, the water stops everywhere at once, and the cause is usually one specific part, not the whole system. We troubleshoot the full setup, the pressure switch, control box, capacitor, wiring, pressure tank, and the pump itself, to find what actually failed instead of swapping parts and guessing. Most repairs on submersible and jet pumps come down to a bad switch, a waterlogged tank, a tripped overload, or storm-damaged wiring, and we carry the common parts to fix them on the spot.
You get a firm price before we start, and in most cases we have your water back on the same visit. If the pump itself is worn out or the repair does not make financial sense, we will tell you straight and give you the replacement number too, so you can decide, never a surprise once the work is underway.
A well pump is sized to your well, not bought off a shelf. We install submersible and jet pumps matched to your well depth, your household demand, and the flow your well actually produces, so you get steady pressure without burning the pump out. For a new home, a new well, or a system that was never set up right, we handle the pump, the drop pipe, the wiring, the pressure tank, and the switch as one properly matched system.
We also set up constant-pressure systems for homes that want city-like pressure from a well, and we make sure the install meets Sarasota County requirements. Everything is tested and balanced before we leave, so the pump cycles correctly and lasts.
When a pump is worn out, keeps failing, or is simply old, replacing it is often cheaper than chasing repeat repairs. We pull the old pump, inspect the drop pipe and wiring on the way up, and set a new pump sized for your well and your home. Pulling a submersible from a deep Florida well is heavy, specialized work, and doing it right the first time protects the new pump.
While the system is open, we check the pressure tank and switch so the new pump is not set up to fail early on an old, waterlogged tank. You get a firm replacement price up front, and we haul the old pump away.
The pressure tank is what keeps your pump from running every time you open a faucet. When the tank's bladder fails or it waterlogs, the pump short-cycles, clicking on and off constantly, which wears it out fast and drives up your electric bill. A failing tank is one of the most common and most overlooked causes of pump failure.
We test the tank's pressure and air charge, and either recharge it or replace it with a correctly sized tank for your pump and household. A properly matched tank cuts down pump cycling and adds years to the pump's life.
When you need a new well, for a new home, acreage, irrigation, or to replace one that has failed, we drill it and build the full system. We handle the permitting with Sarasota County, drill and case the well to the depth and standard the local geology requires, and install the pump, pressure tank, and controls so you have working water, not just a hole in the ground.
Sarasota County's limestone and sandy soils call for proper casing and grouting to keep surface water and sediment out, and we document the well depth, flow, and pump data for your records. We help you choose the right well and pump for how you will use the water.
Florida well water is hard and often carries sulfur, iron, or sediment, which is why so many homes here need treatment on top of a working pump. Hard water scales up pipes, fixtures, and appliances; iron stains everything rust-orange; and hydrogen sulfide gives off that rotten-egg smell. We test your water and build a system that targets what is actually in it.
Depending on your results, that may be a water softener for hardness, an iron or sulfur filter, a whole-house filter for sediment, or a reverse-osmosis system for clean drinking water. A properly sized treatment setup also protects your pump and plumbing, so it pays for itself over time.
A quick primer so you know what you have and what the right call is.
A submersible pump sits down inside the well casing, underwater, and pushes water up to the house. It is quiet, efficient, and what most Sarasota-area wells use, especially deeper ones. A jet pump sits above ground, in a garage, shed, or pump house, and draws water up by suction; you will see it on shallower and older setups. We service and install both. If you are not sure which you have, a quick look tells us, and it changes how we diagnose a no-water or low-pressure call.
A repair makes sense when one part failed, a switch, capacitor, control box, or tank, and the pump itself is sound; those are usually quick, affordable fixes. Replacement is the better call when the motor is burned out, the pump is old and failing repeatedly, or a deep pull is already required on a pump near the end of its life. We give you both numbers and an honest recommendation, so you are not paying for a repair that only buys a few months.
A private well is not just for rural properties anymore. Across Sarasota County, homeowners put in wells to cut their water costs, irrigate larger lots, and own their water supply outright. Here is why a well makes sense here, and what goes into doing it right.
Once the well and pump are in, your water is essentially free. There are no city water rates and no utility bill that climbs every year, just the cost of the electricity to run the pump. For a lot of Sarasota homes the system pays for itself over the years you own the house.
Watering a large Sarasota lawn, garden, or acreage on metered city water adds up fast. A well runs on the cost of electricity instead of per-gallon rates, which is why so many larger properties out toward Myakka and the eastern county rely on one for irrigation.
Your water no longer depends on the city system, its rates, or its outages. A properly built well gives you a steady, independent supply, and paired with a backup it can keep running even when the power or municipal system is down.
Sarasota sits on the Floridan Aquifer, so groundwater is plentiful, but it tends to run hard and can carry sulfur, iron, and sediment. A well is only as good as how it is built, so we size the pump and tank to your well and add the right treatment, so a new system delivers clean, steady water from day one.
We handle the whole thing, the permitting with Sarasota County, drilling and casing the well, the pump, tank, and controls, and water treatment, so you go from no well to working water, done right.
From your first call to water running the way it should, here is how we work.
Call or send the quick form with what is going on: no water, low pressure, a new well, or a system that needs an upgrade. We get the details and set a visit, often the same day for repairs across Sarasota County.
We test the system, or walk your property for a new well, and find the real situation instead of guessing: the pump, tank, switch, wiring, water quality, or the well itself.
You get a clear, itemized price before any work begins, with the options laid out, repair, replacement, or install, so you decide with no surprises.
We do the work: fix the failed part, swap a worn pump or tank, or drill and set a new system, with the common parts on the truck so most repairs finish the same visit.
Before we leave, we test pressure, cycling, and the controls and safety, and confirm clean, steady water, so you know the job is done right.
Fast, local, licensed, and honest on price.
No water is an emergency, and we treat it like one. Most repair calls across Sarasota and Sarasota County are handled the same day, and we answer no-water emergencies around the clock.
You see a firm, itemized price before any work starts, and you approve it first, every time. No surprise charges once the pump is apart or the job is underway.
Well and pump work is a licensed specialty, not general handyman work. We are a licensed, insured Florida well contractor, so the job is done to code.
We work on Sarasota County wells every day and know the Floridan Aquifer, the hard water, and the sulfur and iron that come with it. We size and treat for local conditions, not a generic install.

Straight answers from our service calls across Sarasota County.
Most well pump repairs in Sarasota run from about $150 to $700, depending on the part, whether it is a pressure switch, capacitor, control box, or pressure tank. A full pump replacement typically runs $1,200 to $3,500 or more by well depth and pump size, and a new well is quoted separately. You always get a firm price before any work starts, and the estimate is free.
The common signs are no water at all, low or dropping water pressure, air spitting from the faucets, a pump that runs constantly or clicks on and off, a tripped breaker on the pump circuit, or a sudden jump in your electric bill. Catching it early often means a smaller repair instead of a full replacement.
Yes. We keep the common pumps, tanks, switches, and parts on the truck, so most repair calls across Sarasota and Sarasota County are handled the same day, and no-water emergencies get priority any hour.
Afternoon lightning and power surges are one of the most common causes of pump failure in Florida, and they damage the control box, capacitor, or wiring. If your water quit during or right after a storm, check the breaker first; if that is not it, the control box is the first thing we test.
Yes. We service and install both submersible pumps, which sit down inside the well, and jet pumps, which sit above ground. Most Sarasota-area wells use submersibles, but we work on whatever you have.
If one part failed and the pump itself is sound, a repair is usually the cheaper and right call. If the motor is burned out, the pump is old and failing repeatedly, or a deep pull is already needed, replacement is the better value. We give you both numbers and an honest recommendation so you can decide.
That is usually hydrogen sulfide gas, iron, or hard water, all common in the Floridan Aquifer that feeds Sarasota wells. It is rarely a working-pump problem, it is a water-quality one, and the fix is the right treatment: a softener, an iron or sulfur filter, or a whole-house system. We test your water and recommend what fits.
Yes. We drill new residential and irrigation wells, handle the Sarasota County and state permitting, case and grout the well for the local limestone and sand, and install the full pump, tank, and controls, so you end up with working water, not just a hole in the ground.
