Symptoms Of A Cracked Well Casing
Engine antifreeze that has oil mixed in it is a classic sign of a cracked engine block and/or a blown head gasket, both of which can allow circulating engine antifreeze to mix with circulating engine oil. The engine block contains the small passageways through which oil and antifreeze circulate throughout a vehicle's engine. If an engine block crack develops in close proximity to these passageways, circulating engine oil can mix with, and pollute, circulating engine antifreeze. This condition can normally be verified when the engine radiator cap is removed and the condition of the engine antifreeze is inspected. Just as a cracked engine block can allow engine oil to mix with circulating antifreeze, the opposite can scenario can also occur: antifreeze can mix with circulating engine oil. This type of a situation only happens when an engine block has a severe enough or deep enough crack that allows the antifreeze to enter the engine oil passageways. Normally, antifreeze-contaminated oil produces a funny smell and/or visible smoke emanating from a vehicle's exhaust pipe, or cloudy, milky-colored oil that can be visually spotted on the engine dipstick during a routine oil inspection.
Many times, a routine vehicle engine inspection will uncover a cracked engine block. If an engine is clean enough and free from excess dirt and/or grime, a visual engine inspection, which is often times performed during a routine engine tune-up or engine service, can spot engine block cracks that are severe enough to cause significant fracturing of the engine block casing material. Normally, large engine block cracks cause obvious engine mechanical symptoms, but in rare cases where no engine mechanical symptoms are produced, large engine block cracks can be spotted visually during routine engine maintenance.
One of the first and most obvious signs that there is a problem with your well system is when you turn on a faucet and no water comes out. This can be a sign of trouble with the submersible pump, since if the pump is not working there is no way for water to get out of the well. However, a lack of water can also point to something as simple as a blown fuse in the pump house, a broken pipe or a clogged line. Check for the easiest and most obvious problems that could cause you to have no water before you suspect the submersible pump. A clogged pump will stop pumping, but in this case, you may be able to clean it out rather than replace it. Poor Pressure. If you turn on a faucet and have some water but the pressure is not good, it could be that your submersible pump is going bad.
A pump that is not running at full capacity may cause problems with the water pressure due to insufficient water being pumped. Before pulling the pump out of the well, though, check for other problems that can cause the same symptom. One common culprit in this case is a bad pressure tank. This piece of equipment is located in the well house and uses an air-filled bladder to keep the water pressure constant. If it is not working properly, pressure will drop. Look for leaks in the pressure tank or small leaks in your water pipes.
Earthquakes often cause cracking or splits in a well casing, which can allow sand to spew into the well through these openings. This can quickly block up the well irrigation system and cause reduced water flow, or complete loss of water altogether.

If everything above ground is fine, then the problem is most likely the submersible pump. Running Constantly. A pump that runs constantly is most likely starting to encounter serious problems and may go out soon. When a submersible pump does not stop running, it may have a bad shutoff switch or a bad sensor, or the pump may be struggling to get enough water to the surface. The pump may also start and stop frequently, cycling on and off even when water is not needed.

Symptoms Of A Cracked Head Gasket
Frequent cycling can be a symptom of a minor problem, such as a waterlogged tank, but if it is not fixed, it will quickly destroy the pump. So if you have questions or concerns regarding your well pump, give Yelm Plumbing and Pumps a call and lets us put your mind at rest.
