Imagine returning home from a relaxing vacation to discover a nightmare unfolding at home. Your
well pressure switch rusted off without your knowledge and water flooded your basement. No one wants to come home to water damage. The first step is to call a plumber and get the issue fixed.

Once the water has stopped pouring in SERVPRO is your next call to come and clean up the mess. To prevent something like this from happening you must be prepared. According to Plumbing & Well Service, you should replace your pressure switch every year to avoid it failing and
being left without a functioning well. Below Angi.com provided us a list on how to tell if your well pressure switch could be going bad:

4 Signs your Well Pressure Switch Could Be Failing

• Pump switches on but then instantly turns off
• There is no water coming out of your faucets
• The pump is running but the water pressure is still low
• Pressure tank is waterlogged

If you notice any of the above signs you should contact a professional immediately to avoid any
further damage. Sometimes we overlook the signs, or you may not know what to look for. That’s why it’s important to educate yourself to try to prevent a well-pressure switch from failing and water damage occurring in your home. If you find yourself in this situation, SERVPRO of Jackson/Lacey is ready to make it “like it never even happened”.
