What I do on wells
The six common
well-house jobs.
Most rural Elgin County wells run the same handful of failures. Below are the jobs I quote weekly. Final install price depends on well depth, existing wiring, and access — quoted on-site after a free phone diagnostic.
Jet pump replacement (shallow well)
Above-ground jet pump for wells under 25 ft. Diagnose, drain, swap, prime, pressure-test.
$1,450 – $1,750
Most common rural Elgin County job.
Submersible pump pull & replace (to 150 ft)
Deep-well submersible swap. Pull existing pump + drop pipe, install new pump, splice & test.
$2,400 – $3,200
Add ~$800-$1,300 for 150-250 ft sand-prone wells (Tri-Seal class pump).
Pressure tank swap (20-44 gal)
Old waterlogged tank replaced with steel or composite bladder tank. Includes tee + gauge + new fittings.
$750 – $1,250
Composite tanks ($1,000+) last 30 yrs vs 12 for steel — best lifetime value.
Constant-pressure upgrade (VFD)
Franklin SubDrive Connect variable-frequency controller. City-pressure feel on a well. Quieter pump, longer life.
$2,800 – $3,600
Fixes the 'shower drops when toilet flushes' rural classic.
Booster pump (low city pressure)
City pressure too low at upstairs fixtures? Goulds AquaBoost II inline booster bumps whole-house pressure cleanly.
$1,900 – $2,600
Common in older homes on the city's edge.
Service call / diagnostic
No water at the tap? Lightning-blown control box? On-site diagnostic and quote for repair or replacement.
$165 – $220 flat
Waived when work proceeds same-day. Water-test fee (~$60-$90) at cost.
All ranges installed, in CAD, plus HST. Rural Elgin County wells typically run 80-220 ft deep on bedrock aquifer — the 4″ submersible is the workhorse, with iron-tolerant Tri-Seal pumps earning their price on heavily-fouled wells.
