The $49 visit is waived when you go ahead with the repair. Pulling a pump just to look at it is $1,300 to $2,000, so we test the tank, the switch and the pump’s wire from the house first.
Replacing a pump needs no health department well permit in Virginia. We don’t drill or deepen wells; if yours needs that, we’ll tell you who to call.

What’s different in Fairfax Station
Tell us which side of Ox Road you live on and you’ve mostly told us whether you have a well. Of the roughly 1,760 active well records the Health Department lists in 22039, about 95 percent sit west of Ox Road, on the five-acre lots the county plan keeps in the Occoquan watershed. Crosspointe barely shows up: six well parcels. Hampton Road has the most records by far, then Henderson Road, Fairfax Station Road, Wolf Run Shoals Road and Yates Ford Road.
The permit dates cluster in the 1970s and 80s, close to six in ten of them, and that lines up with the houses: the Census puts eight in ten Fairfax Station homes between 1980 and 1999, almost all detached. So most wells here have been in the ground 35 years or more. The pump has likely been swapped at least once, the tank more than that, and the wire and drop pipe may still be from the day the well went in.
Water chemistry is the other Fairfax Station story. In September 2026 a homeowner here had already pulled a 110 foot pump himself before calling us. It was the third pump on that well, and the water was acidic. Acidic water is hard on pumps, copper and fittings, so when a well keeps eating pumps, the fix starts with a water test and often a neutralizer, which the Health Department lists with softeners and UV lights as treatment to check regularly.
Equipment in these utility rooms tends to age together. In February 2026 a Fairfax Station call about a dead electric water heater turned into a look at the 86 gallon well tank beside it, and we priced both. When one big piece in that room is failing, have the others checked at the same visit, since they’re often about the same age.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and what to look at first on a well system in houses that age.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What to look at first |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fairfax Station | 1982 | single-family houses, about 9 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | The tank first, then the pump’s age and wire. |
| South Run | 1988 | single-family houses, nearly all | gas, about 9 in 10 | The tank first, then the pump’s age and wire. |
| Crosspointe | 1993 | single-family houses, nearly all | gas, about 8 in 10 | The tank first, then the pump’s age and wire. |

When to call
If your Fairfax Station well has gone through pumps faster than your neighbors’, don’t just buy another one. Get the water tested and the wire checked. Low pH or a bad splice down the well will take out the next pump the same way.
A pump that starts every few seconds usually means the pressure tank lost its air cushion. Every start wears the motor, so it’s worth a call this week, not next month.
Check the well pump’s breaker first. If it tripped once, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off: the pump, its wire or the switch needs testing.
When the power goes out
The Virginia Department of Health puts it simply: if your home is on a well, the pump won’t work when the power is out. Here’s what to do before, during and after.
When a big storm is coming, fill a few jugs and the bathtub. Once the pump stops, all you have is what’s left in the pressure tank, and toilets need water to flush.
Many well pumps run on 240 volts. Franklin Electric’s installation manual says a transfer switch must be used any time a generator backs up a well pump, and VDH says to have the hookup made by a licensed electrician.
Franklin’s minimum for a 1 horsepower two-wire pump is a 6 kW generator, and 4 kW for a 1 horsepower three-wire pump. Not sure which yours is? The control box on the wall in the basement means three-wire.
Give the pump a minute to refill the tank. No water? Look at the well pump’s breaker. A surge can also take out the pressure switch or the control box, which we can test from the house.
VDH says to treat a well that was under floodwater as contaminated, and not to run the pump until its wiring is dry. Then shock chlorinate the well and test the water one to two weeks later.
Virginia Cooperative Extension recommends shock chlorinating after any repair to a well system, then a bacteria test one to two weeks later. A well’s water is the owner’s to look after: the EPA doesn’t regulate private wells.
Power back and still no water? Check the breaker, then call us. We’ll test the switch, the control box and the pump from the house before anything comes out of the well.
Who keeps the well records
Fairfax County’s Health Department says every private well owner should test the water yearly for bacteria and chemicals, and that contamination can get in when the pump or plumbing is repaired. Source.

Choosing who works on it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
A good quote here asks what treatment the house has, whether a neutralizer or softener is on the line, and how many pumps the well has been through. If nobody asks, they’re pricing a pump, not fixing why the last one failed.
Pulling a pump is the expensive part of the job. Ask whether they check the tank’s air charge, the pressure switch and the pump’s amp draw and wire from the house first, so you don’t pay to pull a pump that was fine.
Ask for the part that failed and its price, written down, before the pump comes up. If the price can change once the pump is out, ask what would change it, like worn wire or a bad pitless adapter.

“Tyson came out to diagnose our well system and did so with ease! Within no time he had it figured out and provided a solution for us. Very reasonable pricing, phenomenal quality of work and knowledge can’t be beat!”
Questions
We’d rather you called first. A 110 foot string of pipe and wire is heavy, and a pump dropped down the well becomes a job for a drilling rig, not a plumber. We test from the house before anything comes up, and plenty of no-water calls turn out to be the switch or the tank, not the pump.
Almost none. The county’s records show six well parcels in Crosspointe, against about 1,370 in 22039 outside both Census places. In Crosspointe you’re almost certainly on public water. On Hampton Road or Wolf Run Shoals Road, check the basement for a pressure tank.
A new submersible pump on your existing pipe and wire runs $2,781 to $4,000 installed, and with new wire and drop pipe it’s $4,900 to $6,500. A pressure tank alone is $2,200 to $2,950 and a pressure switch is $450 to $609. You get the number in writing before we pull anything.
Not a well permit. Virginia’s private well rules say replacing a pump, or a well cap or seal with an equivalent one, isn’t a well alteration. Building, deepening or abandoning a well does need a health department construction permit.
