Water Well Company Serving Palm Beach CountyWellington · Royal Palm Beach · The Acreage · Loxahatchee · Westlake

“Water well company near me” means three very different jobs depending on which side of Wellington you are calling from, and the reason we answer all three is that one truck cannot be sent for a guess. On the municipal-water streets, the call is almost always an irrigation well that has stopped delivering pressure to the zones — a shallow well, a jet or submersible pump, and a homeowner who does not want to go back to paying utility rates to water a large lot. Out on the acreage parcels, the same phone call means the house has no water at all, which is an emergency, not a landscaping inconvenience.

Western Wellington, Loxahatchee, Loxahatchee Groves and The Acreage run on private wells as the household supply. There is no plant treating that water before it reaches the tap, so the well and the treatment are one system: the well produces whatever the aquifer holds, and everything after the pressure tank is your filtration. Municipal-water homes in Wellington and Royal Palm Beach have the opposite problem — the water is disinfected and safe, but it runs hard, generally in the 180–250 ppm range in the western communities, which is a softener conversation rather than a well one. If that is your situation, start with water softeners or our Wellington water page instead of this one.

What we actually get called for

No water, and the pump is blamed first. A large share of no-water calls out here are not the pump. A tripped breaker, a burned control box, a failed pressure switch, or a pressure tank that has lost its air charge will all imitate a dead pump, and a pressure tank with no charge will also make a healthy pump short-cycle itself to death within a season. We test before we pull anything — see well pump repair and replacement.

Water that is fine in October and terrible in April. This is the most misdiagnosed well complaint in Palm Beach County. Pressure and volume hold through the wet season, then the well starts delivering air, then water, then air again once the dry-season water table drops toward the pump intake. Sand in aerators and toilet tanks points the same direction. That is well depth or a failed screen, and a new pump will not fix it — see well drilling for depths, costs and permitting.

An old well nobody wants to inherit. Replaced and abandoned wells turn up during closings and permit reviews, and a capped well is not an abandoned well — an unused casing is an open channel into the aquifer the neighborhood drinks from. Plugging has its own permit and its own completion report, which is the document you will be asked for later: well abandonment and plugging.

A well that works, with water nobody wants to drink. Iron staining fixtures and laundry orange, hydrogen sulfide that smells like rotten eggs, hardness that destroys water heaters, and tannins from the peat-rich soils that tint water tea-brown. Those are treatment problems on a perfectly good well: well water filtration, sized from a written water test rather than a template.

Why one company for the well and the water

The split that costs homeowners the most money out here is the one between the driller and the water treatment company. The driller hands over a well and a flow rate; the treatment company arrives months later and sizes equipment around whatever it finds. In between, nobody owns the result, and the homeowner is the one relaying messages about whose equipment is at fault.

Simple Water Service has been treating South Florida water since 2008 with 15,000+ systems installed, and we drill, pump, plug and filter with the same crews. That means the water test that decides your filtration comes from the well we just finished developing, the treatment is specified off your real numbers, and the annual maintenance visit covers the well, the pump and the filters in one stop — see annual well maintenance.

Not sure which of the above you have? Call (561) 309-6270 and describe what the water is doing. Nine times out of ten we can tell you over the phone whether you are looking at an electrical fault, a pump, the well itself, or a filtration problem — and which of those we need to bring to your driveway.
