Pump will not start
Could involve power, control, switch, wiring, or pump failure.
Pump will not turn on
No water from well
No water from your well in Port St. Lucie or the Treasure Coast?
A no-water problem can come from the well pump, pressure switch, control box, pressure tank, wiring, loss of prime, or system pressure. Call or submit the service form so the issue can be reviewed.
What no water can mean
Pressure will not build
May indicate pressure tank, leak, pump, or well-system issues.

A humming pump can point to motor, capacitor, control box, or stuck pump problems.

Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that keeps tripping. Request repair review.

Port St. Lucie no-water checklist
Details that help diagnose a no-water problem faster.
No-water calls are easier to review when the request explains what changed at the house. A technician may need to know if every fixture lost water, whether the pump is making noise, whether the pressure gauge is at zero, and whether the breaker or pressure switch changed recently.
- Whether the home has no water everywhere or only at certain fixtures
- Whether the pump is silent, humming, clicking, running, or tripping the breaker
- Whether the system is a jet pump, submersible pump, or unknown setup
- Whether the issue started after irrigation use, a storm, a power outage, or recent plumbing work
Pump runs but no water
Why a well pump can run without delivering water.
A running motor does not always mean the pump is moving water. An above-ground jet pump may have lost prime or may be pulling air through a suction-line leak. A failed check valve or foot valve can let water drain back toward the well. A submersible pump can run without building pressure when there is a damaged pipe, worn pump, low well-water level, failed control component, or leak between the pump and the house.
Turn the pump off if it continues running while the pressure gauge stays near zero. Allowing a pump to run dry or against a damaged system can add heat and increase equipment damage.
Safe first checks
What a homeowner can check without opening electrical equipment.
Check the whole house
Confirm whether every fixture is dry. A single faucet problem may be a fixture or plumbing issue rather than the well system.
Check the breaker once
Look for a tripped well-pump breaker. If it trips again, leave it off and request electrical or pump-system review.
Check visible equipment
Record the gauge reading, controller lights, fault codes, unusual sounds, and visible leaks. Keep hands away from exposed wires and wet electrical parts.
After service is restored
Pump repair and drinking-water quality are separate questions.
Restoring pressure does not test whether private well water is safe to drink. If the outage followed flooding, well damage, a broken line, unusual color or odor, or work that opened the well system, ask the responding technician whether water testing or disinfection should be considered.
The Florida Department of Health recommends testing private well water for bacteria and nitrate at least once each year. Use a state-certified laboratory and contact the local health department when contamination is suspected.
