# Well Pump Diagnostics in Redding and Shasta County

Prepare a no-water or low-pressure request with the property locality, observed symptom and available well records.

## Describe the symptom and timing

State whether water stopped, pressure changed or the system cycles differently. Include recent work and available pump records. Do not open controls or assume that a no-water event proves pump failure.

## Ask what the visit establishes

Clarify diagnostic and travel charges, accepted equipment and the findings supplied. Require approval before replacement or additional work is added.

## Keep mechanical work and water quality separate

Ask what equipment service and records are included. Water testing is a separate scope; restoring flow alone does not establish drinking-water safety.

### Put these items in the written scope

| Scope item | Confirm before agreeing |
| --- | --- |
| Visit | Diagnostic work, travel and accepted equipment. |
| Findings | Support for repair or replacement. |
| Records | Mechanical work and separately agreed testing. |

## Details to gather

- Property locality
- Symptom and timing
- Well and pump records
- Safe driveway and work access

Get the assessment and authorization process before approving equipment.

## Questions about this request

### Does no water mean I need a new pump?

The system needs diagnosis. Ask what findings support the proposed repair or replacement.

### Will a pump repair make the water safe?

Mechanical repair does not establish drinking-water safety. Discuss appropriate water testing separately with the relevant professional.
