Well & Pump Solutions
-
If your well pump isn’t turning on, check your breaker box for a tripped switch, inspect the pressure switch for damage, and confirm the well cap is secure. If the pump still doesn’t run, call us — the issue could be electrical, mechanical, or water level-related.
-
If you notice low pressure, pulsing water, or clicking near the pressure tank, your pump may need service. Pumps older than 10–15 years may need replacing. We’ll inspect your system to confirm before recommending either option.
-
Most well pump repairs are completed the same day of service. If your system is accessible and the parts are in stock, we can often get you back up and running in just a few hours.
-
Start by checking if multiple appliances are using water at once. Then, inspect the pressure gauge and tank switch if accessible. Low pressure may be caused by a clogged filter, failing pump, or pressure tank issue — all of which we can repair.
-
Basic checks like resetting the breaker are fine. But working on pumps involves high-voltage electricity, larger equipment needs and submersible parts — repairs should always be handled by a licensed technician.
-
Repairs range a lot depending on the parts needed and depth of well. We always provide a full quote before doing the work and look for the most cost-effective (and long-term value) solution first.
-
Storms often cause power surges that burn out electrical components. If your system suddenly stops after lightning, check for GFCI trips and breaker issues. We also install surge protection systems to help avoid this in the future.
-
Jet pumps sit above ground and are used for shallow wells (less than 25 feet). Submersible pumps are installed down inside the well and are ideal for deeper water tables. We service and install both types.
-
Hamilton Well & Water is trusted across Transylvania and Henderson Counties for expert well pump repair, fast scheduling, and honest diagnostics.
-
Look for licensed well contractors with deep local experience, quick response time, and great reviews. Hamilton checks all those boxes — plus, we’re your neighbors.
New Wells - Drilling & Installs
-
Well depths vary between 100 and 500+ feet, depending on your location and geology. If neighbors have wells, you can check their depths as a rough reference. We assess your land to determine the ideal drilling depth for consistent water supply.
-
Costs range so much depending on the depth, casing, terrain, and pump system needed. We provide clear quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for and what to expect.
-
While we drill year-round, early spring through late fall offers better soil conditions and easier access for equipment. If your property gets muddy or icy in winter, schedule ahead to avoid delays.
-
Hamilton is known for dependable, code-compliant well drilling in mountain terrain — including properties will all differing needs and dynamics. We help handle everything from site selection to permitting and system setup.
-
Once scheduled, drilling typically takes 1–3 days, depending on rock layers and depth. Additional time is needed for pump installation and well head setup, usually bringing the total project to 3–5 business days from start.
-
Yes — each county requires permits before drilling. We take care of all paperwork and coordinate with the health department for inspection and compliance.
-
Yes! Many customers install wells for irrigation, livestock, or emergency backup. We’ll help evaluate your goals and zoning to make sure it’s allowed and worthwhile.
-
Drilled wells with submersible pumps are most reliable in the mountains due to varying water tables and rocky conditions. We customize every job to your land.
-
We assess setback rules, septic location, and geological data to find the best spot. Avoid areas downhill from potential contaminants or near driveways where access might be blocked.
-
If your current well is shallow, unreliable, or has recurring contamination, drilling a new well may be more cost-effective long-term. We’ll evaluate both options with you as we want to do what is best for each customer’s goals.
Water Filtration for Clean Water
-
That odor is usually from sulfur bacteria or hydrogen sulfide gas. To confirm, try filling a glass of cold water and smelling it immediately — if the smell fades in a few minutes, it’s likely hydrogen sulfide. We install systems that eliminate the smell and restore clean, fresh water.
-
It depends on your test results. The most effective systems for our area include iron filters, UV disinfection, sediment removal, and activated carbon filters. We tailor each system to your well.
-
Look for rust stains, strange odors, cloudy water, or dry skin after showers. These symptoms often indicate hard water or contaminants. We offer lab testing to know for sure.
-
You can install simple faucet filters or pitchers yourself. But for whole-house systems, especially for iron, sulfur, or bacteria, we recommend professional installation to ensure sizing and flow rates are correct.
-
Hamilton is a local expert in custom well water filtration — we handle testing, install high-performance systems, and provide service reminders so you never fall behind.
-
If your water tests positive for coliform or E. coli, a UV light is a must. It provides chemical-free disinfection and works well with other filtration stages.
-
Most installations range from $1,200 to $6,000, depending on what’s in your water and what needs to be filtered. We help you balance cost, health, and convenience and explain to you what you’re paying for and the value it creates.
-
Yes — systems with oxidizing media, resin-based filters, or air injection can remove iron and manganese. We often combine filtration types for maximum effectiveness.
-
Only if it's been recently tested and shows no contaminants. Even clear water can carry invisible bacteria or metals. We recommend annual testing and filtration if needed. We have various offerings to meet the needs of the customer.
-
Most systems require filter changes every 6–12 months. If water starts tasting or smelling odd, it’s a sign maintenance is overdue. We offer service plans to stay ahead.
Well Inspections
-
We recommend at least once per year. A regular inspection helps catch small issues before they turn into costly failures — especially important for older systems or homes with children.
-
We check the pump operation, electrical system, pressure tank, and wellhead integrity, and we offer water quality testing if requested. You’ll receive a written report with our findings and recommendations.
-
Hamilton is a go-to for homeowners in Brevard, Hendersonville, and beyond. We’re known for clear communication, detailed reports, and no upselling.

It’s not always required, but highly recommended. A standard home inspection often skips the well. We offer real estate inspections with water testing and pressure analysis to protect your purchase.
-
Watch for sputtering faucets, intermittent pressure, cloudy water, or clicking near the tank. These signs often point to pressure tank or pump problems.
-
Expect to pay $200–$400, depending on system size and location. We offer bundled pricing if you’re combining an inspection with water testing or filtration services.
