The $49 visit is waived when you go ahead with the repair. Pulling a pump just to look at it is $1,300 to $2,000, so we test the tank, the switch and the pump’s wire from the house first.
Replacing a pump needs no health department well permit in Virginia. We don’t drill or deepen wells; if yours needs that, we’ll tell you who to call.

What’s different in Marshall
Marshall is two kinds of water in one ZIP. Along Main Street and the streets off it, inside the County’s Marshall Service District, the tap is fed by the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority’s Marshall system, which the Authority took over from a private owner in 2008. Drive a mile out on Route 17 or Rectortown Road and the meter disappears: past the district line, every farmhouse and big lot runs on a private well with its own pump and pressure tank in the basement.
The Authority’s own wells tell you something about the rock under Marshall. They’re drilled into fractured bedrock between 285 and 445 feet down, and two of them pull enough iron and manganese that FCWSA runs a large greensand filter at its 17/66 well site to take it out. A private well a mile away draws from the same kind of ground, so orange or black staining in a sink isn’t unusual out here, and it’s worth knowing before you blame the pump for a pressure drop that’s really a clogged filter.
Depth is the number that moves a well pump price. Across Fauquier, the households that tested their water in Virginia Cooperative Extension’s clinics from 2012 to 2017 had wells anywhere from 50 to 705 feet deep. A pump hanging 400 feet down means 400 feet of wire and pipe to pull, which is why the job with new wire and drop pipe is $4,900 to $6,500 and a pump alone on good wire is $2,781 to $4,000. We test the wire from the house first, so you know which one you’re buying.
The houses vary as much as the water. Marshall was called Salem until the 1880s and was laid out in 1796, and Anderson Avenue still has its 1920s to 1940s frame houses. North of Main Street, the neighborhood west of Rectortown Road went up mostly in the 1970s through the 1990s, and the ZIP’s Census count puts more than 1,600 homes in those three decades. A well from that era often has its second or third pump and tank by now, and the first question we ask is which parts are original.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
ZIP 20115 as a whole: every Marshall address, the village included. The Census place for the village alone has too few homes for steady figures.
When to call
When a house switches from a well to public water, the old well is sometimes kept for a garden or a barn. That pump still has its own breaker, switch and tank, and it can fail quietly for months before anyone notices the yard spigot is dead.
Where most houses heat with propane or electricity, there’s usually no utility line running down the road at all, and the water comes from a well on the lot. That makes the pump the most important appliance in the house.
A pump that starts every few seconds usually means the pressure tank lost its air cushion. Every start wears the motor, so it’s worth a call this week, not next month.
When the power goes out
The Virginia Department of Health puts it simply: if your home is on a well, the pump won’t work when the power is out. Here’s what to do before, during and after.
When a big storm is coming, fill a few jugs and the bathtub. Once the pump stops, all you have is what’s left in the pressure tank, and toilets need water to flush.
Many well pumps run on 240 volts. Franklin Electric’s installation manual says a transfer switch must be used any time a generator backs up a well pump, and VDH says to have the hookup made by a licensed electrician.
Franklin’s minimum for a 1 horsepower two-wire pump is a 6 kW generator, and 4 kW for a 1 horsepower three-wire pump. Not sure which yours is? The control box on the wall in the basement means three-wire.
Give the pump a minute to refill the tank. No water? Look at the well pump’s breaker. A surge can also take out the pressure switch or the control box, which we can test from the house.
VDH says to treat a well that was under floodwater as contaminated, and not to run the pump until its wiring is dry. Then shock chlorinate the well and test the water one to two weeks later.
Virginia Cooperative Extension recommends shock chlorinating after any repair to a well system, then a bacteria test one to two weeks later. A well’s water is the owner’s to look after: the EPA doesn’t regulate private wells.
Power back and still no water? Check the breaker, then call us. We’ll test the switch, the control box and the pump from the house before anything comes out of the well.
Who keeps the well records
In Fauquier County, groundwater supplies every private household well and most public water systems, drawn from fractured rock: Blue Ridge rock in the northwest of the county, basin sedimentary rock in the southeast. Source.

Choosing who works on it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
In Marshall the answer changes the whole visit. Low pressure on Authority water is a meter, regulator or pipe question; low pressure on a well is a tank, switch or pump question. Whoever you call should ask before they show up with the wrong parts.
Pulling a pump is the expensive part of the job. Ask whether they check the tank’s air charge, the pressure switch and the pump’s amp draw and wire from the house first, so you don’t pay to pull a pump that was fine.
Ask for the part that failed and its price, written down, before the pump comes up. If the price can change once the pump is out, ask what would change it, like worn wire or a bad pitless adapter.

Questions
Only inside the Service District, and only while FCWSA has capacity; it added new supply for Marshall and started selling 200 new water availabilities in October 2024. Outside an area the Authority serves, the County says most properties can’t connect, so the well stays your water and the pump is worth looking after.
Usually not. Iron and manganese come from the rock, and FCWSA treats for both on its own Marshall wells. The stain is a water treatment question; a pump only gets involved when sediment or a clogged filter starts starving the pressure. Our filter and softener guide walks through the choices.
A new submersible pump on your existing pipe and wire runs $2,781 to $4,000 installed, and with new wire and drop pipe it’s $4,900 to $6,500. A pressure tank alone is $2,200 to $2,950 and a pressure switch is $450 to $609. You get the number in writing before we pull anything.
Not a well permit. Virginia’s private well rules say replacing a pump, or a well cap or seal with an equivalent one, isn’t a well alteration. Building, deepening or abandoning a well does need a health department construction permit.
