My pump out for my well (we live in the country) has quit pumping out. I have tried everything (at least I think I have) from installing a new pump, flushing the intake and outflow with air and hot water, checking all of the connections for air leaks, filling the new pump with water to prime it, cleaning out the well. I am out the point where I am at a standstill and need it repaired. Who can I call to come take a look at it? Thanks ebrandon community.

where are you out in the country?  
 
every small town i have lived in the local plumber will go out and work on them, try your local guy or nearest small town plumber

Is the pump running? If you replaced the pump and it doesn't run it sounds like an electrical issue. If it is running it sounds like somethings maybe plugged up

Call Tyler at Lockhart's. He knows well water systems inside & out and is great at trouble-shooting. You'll get a straight-forward answer and no BS from him. Good luck!

Does the water stay in the pump or does the water level drop? The pump is in house and well outside?

Submersible or jet?

You said that you primed the pump so im figuring it's a jet pump, and like already asked is it in the house, like in your basement, or in a crawl space, a bit curious about the well, and the water level in the well.  
Hope I'm not sounding rude in asking this, but could you explain the well right through to say maybe your pressure system, there are a lot of people on here that have fought around with things like sandpoints right through to perforated crib wells or small diameter bored wells but you have to be able to picture the whole system.

I talked to them two years ago about my well and they told me to talk to a plumber

Sounds like your foot valve off the suction line in your well is pooched. If u undue the line that drops down into the well at the crib and theres no water in it then that would be what is wrong. Could also blow down the line too and if it takes air then thats another sign u need a new foot valve. If it doesnt hold water in the line then it will just drain the water in the line back into the well and leave ur line full of air making it impossible to prime.

Thanks all. I have a solution.
