Well repairs
Dry wells, dead pumps, lost pressure, failing tanks. We find the problem and get your water back on, with emergency service 24 hours a day.
Water well not working? You need water well repair from people who find the problem fast. Wiley Well Drilling has handled water well repair for homes, farms, and businesses across Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio since April 1945, working out of Union City, Indiana.
Calls usually start the same way: no water from well to house, a pump that no longer responds, or pressure that comes and goes. We have seen and fixed all of it, and emergency well and pump work is available 24 hours a day. Call us at (765) 584-8648 for a free estimate.
Most repairs come down to a handful of parts: the pump, the pressure tank, the pressure switch and control box, the wiring, and the casing. We test until we find the one that failed, then fix or replace that part. Age, corrosion, mechanical wear, and shifting ground conditions are the usual causes. When the pump is the failed part, our well pump repair work takes it from there.
We are proud to be a licensed Indiana Well Driller and registered contractor in Ohio, and members of the Indiana Ground Water Association and the National Ground Water Association.
What we fix
The problems we fix most often:
Summer storms roll hard across this flat farm country, and a nearby lightning strike can leave you needing a pressure switch and control box replacement. If a well has gone dry for good, we can drill a new one.
How we work
We usually start at the house and work toward the well. Is the tank holding its charge? Is the switch clicking on? Is power reaching the control box? Checking in that order keeps you from paying for a pump you did not need. If the pump is the culprit, see our pump repair and replacement page. Tired of pressure swings? Ask about constant pressure systems. The work covers:
A single failed part, like a pump, a tank, or a switch, is usually a straightforward swap. If the casing is the problem, well casing repair may be possible. When the casing is structurally compromised, we will tell you a replacement well is the better long-term call. Afterward, routine cleaning and inspections help keep the same problem from coming back.

Pricing
We do not publish repair prices. A bad pressure switch and a pump stuck in the casing are very different jobs, and we would rather see the system than guess. Sometimes a tank repair turns into a pressure tank replacement, and we will tell you before that happens. You get a free estimate and a quotation within 24 hours.

Repair FAQs
The most commonly reported symptoms include low water pressure, a pump that short-cycles or runs nonstop, sputtering faucets, and changes in water color, odor, or taste. Any one of these can point to a pump, pressure tank, or casing issue that should be diagnosed right away.
Emergency water well repair is available 24 hours a day when water loss cannot wait. For everything else, we schedule around your availability. Call (765) 584-8648 to talk through how urgent it is.
A pressure tank stores pressurized water between pump cycles and maintains steady flow to your fixtures. When the tank loses its air charge, the pump short-cycles rapidly, accelerating wear. A minor loss of charge can often be corrected. More extensive damage usually calls for full replacement.
Coverage varies widely by policy and cause of failure. Sudden mechanical breakdowns are sometimes covered, while gradual deterioration typically is not. Review your policy and speak with your insurer directly, as Wiley Well Drilling cannot determine coverage eligibility on your behalf.
Repair usually makes sense for a single failed component, such as a pump or pressure tank. Replacement is typically the better long-term choice when the casing is structurally compromised, well yield has dropped significantly, or water quality problems persist despite repeated service. An assessment from Wiley Well Drilling can help clarify which path makes sense for your system.
