Well Pump No Water: Troubleshooting Basics
A no-water well usually traces to power, the pressure switch, the tank, or the pump — here's how to narrow it down safely.
Check the simple causes first
Confirm the pump has power: check the breaker and any dedicated pump switch. A tripped breaker that immediately trips again points to an electrical fault that needs a professional.
Inspect the pressure gauge. Zero pressure with the pump running can indicate a failed pump, a stuck pressure switch, or a waterlogged tank.
When to call a professional
Submersible pumps sit hundreds of feet down a well and require specialized equipment to pull. If basic checks don't restore water, a licensed well pump company should diagnose the system.
