Well pump repair in Middleburg for wells that lose prime every May

What changes in Middleburg
A jet pump lifts by suction, and suction runs out at roughly 25 feet. Middleburg's shallow wells sit close to that limit, and a dry April drops the water table below it. The pump hums, the gauge reads nothing, and re-priming works for a day until the level drops again. The repair for the season is a deeper suction setting or a two-pipe jet; the repair for good is a deeper well.
On the deep wells the faults are the ordinary ones, and on every Middleburg visit the pressure tank is checked, because tanks here have been short cycling their pumps for decades unnoticed.
How the job runs
How a pump fault is found
The pump is the last suspect, not the first. Testing runs from the breaker to the pressure switch, then the pressure tank's air charge with the pump off, then the control box, then the amp draw on the pump circuit. Each step clears a component or finds the fault, and the reading is shown before any part is replaced. Switches, gauges, tanks, control boxes, capacitors, relays, wiring, check valves and above-ground plumbing are repairs; a submersible motor that has failed electrically is a replacement, sized to the well's completion report rather than to the pump that came out.
Straight answers
Well Pump Repair questions from Middleburg
Why does the pump lose prime every spring?
The water table drops below what suction can reach. It is the well's depth, not the pump.
Can the jet pump be moved deeper?
A two-pipe jet reaches further. Beyond that, a deeper well with a submersible is the answer.
