Well Pump Repair in Hiram, GA

Hiram homes are served either by the City of Hiram, which supplies customers in and around downtown, or by Paulding County Water System, so most have no private well pump. Where a property near Hiram does draw from its own well, a plumber can test the pump, controls and pressure tank. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Hiram.

Warning signs on a private well

Every faucet loses water together
Air spitting from taps when they first open
A switch that clicks on and off over and over
The pump breaker tripping repeatedly
A tank gauge that never builds back up

On public water, the same low-pressure feeling usually comes from a regulator, a service line leak or a partly closed valve instead.

Two water providers in Hiram

Hiram sits on the US 278 and GA-92 corridor in south Paulding County. The city says it provides water to customers in and around downtown; other customers are on Paulding County Water System. The county's supply comes from Richland Creek Reservoir, which is fed by pumping from the Etowah River, plus treated water it buys from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority.

Which one you have depends on your address, and the bill tells you. Either way, a public water customer has no well pump. We didn't find any count of private wells in Hiram, so we won't call them common. If you see a capped casing outside and a pressure tank inside, though, the pump and everything after it are yours to maintain.

Most of the town is newer housing, with a median year built of 2004, which means many plumbing systems are still on their original regulators and fittings.

A quick self-check helps. Open an outdoor spigot closest to the meter and compare it with an upstairs shower. If the spigot is strong and the shower is weak, the trouble is inside the house; if both are weak, the regulator or service line is the more likely culprit.

Cost factors

Type of problem. A pump pull, a tank swap and a regulator replacement are very different jobs.
Depth and access. Deep pumps and hard-to-reach tanks add labor.
Electrical work. Damaged wire or a failed control box adds parts.
Permits. Hiram sends permitting to the Paulding County Building & Permitting Division.

Well Pump Repair questions in Hiram

Who do I call when the problem is the water main or the meter?

If you're a City of Hiram water customer, call Hiram Public Works; Paulding County Water customers call the county's leak line. Problems past the meter are for a plumber.

Is my house on a private well or on public water?

Your bill shows whether the City of Hiram or Paulding County Water System supplies you. A pressure tank indoors and a capped casing outside mean a private well.

Why won't the pump shut off when nobody is using water?

A pump that never shuts off is often chasing a leak, a failed check valve or a bad pressure switch. Turn the pump breaker off to protect the motor and have a plumber trace it.

Which office handles permits for well pump work here?

Hiram uses the Paulding County Building & Permitting Division for permits. Your plumber can confirm whether a pump or tank swap needs one.
