Common San Marcos Well Emergencies
Based on San Marcos's geology (sedimentary and volcanic formations) and climate, here are the emergencies we respond to most:
- No water / pump failure: Very few private wells, municipal water preferred, older wells needing updates, sedimentary/volcanic geology can have variable yields, limited drilling opportunities
- Pressure loss: Sudden drop below 40 PSI, pump cycling constantly
- Contaminated water: Sudden sediment, rust, or odor (common after storms in sedimentary and volcanic formations)
- Power-related failures: Lightning strikes, power surges damaging pump motors
