Well Pump Service for Newaygo and the Muskegon River Country
Up here the nearest neighbor might be a quarter mile off, and when the pump quits, there is no city line to fall back on. Wahlfield Drilling Co handles well pump repair Newaygo homes, farms and cabins rely on, from a shop in Comstock Park that has been working West Michigan wells since 1891.

Spring Startup Trouble at Newaygo Cabins and Seasonal Homes
A lot of places around Hardy Pond and Croton Pond sit empty from deer season until the steelhead run. Pumps that sit all winter come back with problems. A pressure switch with corroded contacts. A tank that lost its charge. A line in an unheated pump house that froze and split. Opening weekend is a bad time to find out.
If you can, call a couple of weeks before you plan to be up. We can check the system while the place is quiet, so the first shower of the season is not cold and weak. The same goes for year-round home water systems out on the gravel roads.

Sandy Ground and Submersible Well Pump Repair in Newaygo County
Much of the ground around Newaygo is sand, the same sandy country the Manistee National Forest grows on. Some wells pull fine grit with the water, and grit is hard on impellers. Submersible well pump repair on these wells often means looking at why the pump wore out, not only swapping it.
When grit or iron keeps showing up, we talk through screens, pump setting depth and the right pump for the well. Details on the pumps and parts we carry are on our pumps and parts page.

Well Pump Troubleshooting Before the Truck Makes the Drive North
It is close to an hour from our shop, so a good phone call saves time on both ends. Check the breaker for the pump. Look at the gauge on the pressure tank. Listen at the tank or the control box for a hum or a click. That simple well pump troubleshooting tells us a lot.
No water from well taps with the breaker on and the gauge at zero usually means the pump is not running or not pushing. We carry common pumps, switches and parts on the truck, so a lot of well pump repair Newaygo calls get finished in one trip.
