Water pressure slowly getting worse?

Weak pressure rarely fixes itself — it’s usually one of a few predictable culprits, and a diagnostic visit sorts them out in an afternoon.

The usual suspects

• Waterlogged pressure tank — the tank lost its air cushion, so the pump short-cycles and pressure sags and surges
• Failing pressure switch — cut-in and cut-out drift, or the contacts burn and the pump never reaches full pressure
• Worn pump impellers — a pump near the end of its 10–15 year life delivers less with every season
• Clogged or leaking drop pipe / foot valve — especially on older wells with sediment

What a fix typically costs

A diagnostic runs $95–150 (often credited toward the repair). Pressure switch and tank work lands at $350–850; if the pump itself is the cause, a submersible motor runs $500–1,200 and a full replacement $800–2,200 — see the full pricing table.
