Well Drilling and Pump Repair in Lecanto, FL
Lecanto sits in the middle of Citrus County, inland from the coast and surrounded by rural acreage, new homes, and horse country. Wells here run on the same spring country chemistry as the rest of the county: iron that stains, sulfur that smells, and hard water that scales pipes. All Tech Water Service has drilled new wells, fixed pumps, and treated water across Lecanto since 1990, with a Citrus County line answered by people who know the roads.

What we do
Lecanto Water and Wells
Lecanto is inland spring country. The Floridan Aquifer runs under the whole area, limestone riddled and full of water, but that water usually carries iron, sulfur, and hard minerals. Away from the Gulf, Lecanto wells see less salt than the coast, but iron and hardness are still the two complaints we hear most. On new acreage and new construction, a well drilled and cased to code, then tested, saves you years of trouble down the road. Most Central Florida residential wells run 60 to 200 feet, depending on where the aquifer sits on your property. Getting the depth and casing right the first time means fewer callbacks, cleaner water, and a well that holds up through dry spells and storm season alike.

Lecanto sits between the coast and the lake country, so we reach it fast from every direction. Nearby we cover Inverness in the lake country and Homosassa and Crystal River on the coast, plus the rest of Citrus County. Same crew, same warranty, same local numbers.
Common Well Questions in Lecanto
Why is my Lecanto well water hard or staining fixtures? Iron and hardness are the usual causes inland. Iron leaves orange and brown stains, and hard water leaves scale and spots. A free water test shows what your water needs, then we size a softener or treatment to match.
Do you drill wells on rural acreage and new construction in Lecanto? Yes. We drill new residential and light commercial wells to Florida code, pull the permit, and set the pump and tank. Lecanto has plenty of new acreage, and a well done right the first time is one less thing to worry about.
Do you pull the permit for a new Lecanto well? Yes. We handle the well construction permit with the Southwest Florida Water Management District as part of the job, so you do not chase paperwork.
How deep will my well go around Lecanto? Most Central Florida residential wells are 60 to 200 feet, depending on where the aquifer is on your property. We drill until we hit a productive water layer, then case and grout to seal the well.
Do you repair and replace pumps? Both. We repair submersible and jet pumps, pressure tanks, and switches, often the same week or the same day. When a pump is past saving, we replace it and size the new one to your well.
How much does a new well cost in Lecanto? Most residential wells in our area run between $4,000 and $9,000 for a complete job, including drilling, casing, pump, tank, switch, and water test. We give a free written estimate after a site walk.

Pump questions
FAQ
Common signs: short cycling (the pump kicks on every few seconds), no water at all, low pressure, the motor running constant, dirty or sandy water, or pressure that drops sharply when you open a tap. If you hear any of those, give us a call.
Most of the time it is a waterlogged pressure tank or a bad pressure switch. Both are common and both are fixable. Short cycling wears a pump out fast, so it is worth handling quickly.
Depends on age, motor condition, and cost. Pumps under 6 years old with a single failed part are usually worth repairing. Ten year old and older pumps with motor issues are usually worth replacing. We are honest about which makes sense, even when replace is cheaper for us.
Eight to 15 years for submersibles. Five to 10 years for jet pumps. Florida heat and well chemistry shorten pump life compared to other parts of the country.
It could be a worn pump that can no longer build pressure, a leak somewhere in the system, a stuck pressure switch, or a drop in your water level. Either way it wastes power and wears the pump, so it is worth a look soon.
Usually yes, especially in Hernando and Pasco where we have crews close to most homes. Hillsborough and Citrus are often same day, sometimes next day. After hours and weekend calls available.
Sometimes. We test the bladder before recommending. A bad tank causes short cycling and burns out pumps, so it is worth replacing if it is shot. We will not sell you a tank you do not need.
We stock common pumps, switches, tanks, and fittings so most jobs are done in one visit. If a job needs a special part, we tell you up front and get it fast.
