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 Middleburg
Middleburg is a well town either way. Inside the corporate limits, the Town pumps from five wells of its own into two water towers, and the Town owns the mains and meters, so a house there usually has no well pump to fail. Those wells are why the Town Council put the system under mandatory conservation on July 24, 2026, over falling water levels, and the Town’s page still said so on October 22, pointing to a state groundwater emergency across Northern Virginia.
Step past the limits and the well is yours. County records show about 720 active household wells within three miles of the town, and they go deep: a median recorded depth near 385 feet, a quarter of them past 520, and roughly one in five at 600 feet or more. Wells recorded in the 2010s have a median of 540. That’s a long pull for whoever replaces the pump, and the wire and drop pipe that come up with it are often due too.
In a dry year, depth alone doesn’t keep the water coming. Loudoun’s groundwater lives in cracks in the rock, and when the level falls, the pump can start pulling air before the house runs out. Signs are sputtering faucets, a pump that runs longer than it used to, or water that quits mid shower and comes back an hour later. Some newer pumps, Grundfos’s constant-pressure SQE among them, shut themselves off on a dry run instead of burning up. If the well itself has to go deeper, that’s a drilling rig, not us, and we’ll tell you who to call.
The houses are old here too. About one in four homes in 20117 went up in 1939 or earlier, and on an old farm the well can be generations older than the pump hanging in it. We start by asking what’s been replaced and when, then test the tank, the switch and the pump’s wire from the house.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
ZIP 20117 as a whole: every Middleburg address, the Town and the farms around it, about a tenth of the land in Fauquier County. The Census place for the Town alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When to call
If the faucets go dry during heavy use and recover after a rest, the well may be drawing down faster than it refills. We check the pump and controls first, then tell you plainly whether it’s the equipment or the water level.
Where most houses heat with propane or electricity, there’s usually no utility line running down the road at all, and the water comes from a well on the lot. That makes the pump the most important appliance in the house.
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.
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
The Loudoun County Health Department reviews permits, installations and condition reports for wells, and it advises a yearly well check that includes a bacteria test. Source.

Choosing who works on it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
In a drought year that answer matters. Ask how they’ll tell a worn pump from a low water level before they quote a new pump, so you don’t pay for one that runs dry in the same hole.
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.

Questions
Usually not. The Town’s water and sewer serve properties inside the corporate limits, and the Town looks after the mains and meters. Low pressure on Town water is a plumbing question, and the line from the meter to the house is yours.
The order covers users of the Town system. A private well outside the limits isn’t on it, but it draws from the same stressed groundwater, so going easy on outdoor watering this fall protects your pump too.
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.
